Turner & Co Bespoke Joinery Ltd design and handcraft bespoke timber windows for homes across Ipswich, Kesgrave, Martlesham Heath and Rushmere St Andrew, built at our own workshop rather than brought in from another supplier.
Sash windows suit the Georgian and Victorian streets around St Helen’s and Christchurch Street, where the vertical sliding style has always been part of the character, while casement windows tend to fit the newer estates around Ravenswood and the Waterfront better. We design each window around what the property actually is, not a single style applied everywhere.
If you’re weighing up your options for new windows, we’re happy to talk you through what would actually suit your property. Tell us about your windows and we’ll take it from there.
Do Ipswich Homes Need Casement Or Sash Windows?
It comes down to the age and style of the property more than personal taste. Sash windows, which slide vertically rather than swinging open, are the traditional match for Georgian and Victorian houses and are often expected in conservation areas. Casement windows hinge at the side and open outward, which suits most homes built from the mid twentieth century onward.
Sash Windows
We build them to slide smoothly on traditional cords or modern spring balances, matching the glazing bar pattern and proportions the original window would have had.
Casement Windows
We make them to open cleanly and seal well against draughts, choosing ironmongery to suit the property rather than a standard fitting.
What type of window fits your home?
How We Design And Fit Your Windows
We start by visiting the property to measure the existing openings and talk through what’s not working with the current windows, whether that’s draughts, condensation or just the look of them. From there we draw up the design and choose timber suited to the exposure the window will face. We build and spray finish every window at our workshop, then fit it ourselves rather than handing that stage to someone else.
What Are The Rules For Replacing Windows In Ipswich?
It depends on whether the property sits inside one of the borough’s conservation areas. Ipswich Borough Council’s conservation areas guidance confirms that altering windows on a property within one of the 15 designated areas can need consent, since the appearance of the street as a whole is what’s being protected. Outside those boundaries, replacing windows generally falls under permitted development, though checking first is always worth the five minutes it takes.
What Sets Our Ipswich Windows Apart?
The same team designs, builds and fits every window, so nothing gets lost in translation between the person who measured your property and the person doing the work. We also build every window from sustainably sourced timber, made to the exact opening rather than a standard frame size. And because we’re based here rather than covering the town from a distance, we know which streets tend to need sash and which suit casement before we’ve even measured the opening.
Genuine Feedback From Our Work
