Selected timber
The species is chosen for stability and exposure, and for whether the window will be painted or left to show the grain.
Timber windows
Timber windows, made to the opening.
Sash, casement and bay windows drawn and made for period and individual houses, with the profiles, glazing bars and proportions the house deserves.

Explore timber windows
Sash, casement or bay. The house decides.
Most houses already say what their windows should be. The work is in getting the proportions, profiles and detail right.
Casement windows
Side and top hung casements for cottages, timber-framed houses and later homes, with glazing bars set out to suit the elevation.
Sash windows
Vertically sliding sashes with horns, glazing bars and mouldings matched to the house, inside and out.
Bay and bow windows
Faceted bays, curved bows and oriels, made as one piece of joinery with the sill, head and any door within them.
Also made
Internal shutters. Panelled timber shutters for deep reveals, made and painted to sit with the windows.
Made in the workshop
Every window is made to its opening.
Each frame, sash and sill is made in our workshop near Honiton to the opening as measured, not to a standard size. The window is assembled and checked before it is finished, so what arrives on site is ready to fit.
Bespoke timber window cost
Made individually. Priced accordingly.
Starting point
Quoted individually.
What affects cost
Size, number of opening lights, glazing, glazing bars, ironmongery, finish and the work needed to fit the opening.
Next step
Discuss your windows 
Stays and fasteners
Casement stays, fasteners and sash fittings in iron, brass or a painted finish, chosen to suit the period of the house.
Glazing bars
Bar widths and patterns are drawn from the house, whether that means slender Georgian bars or a simpler cottage division.
Sills that shed water
Sills are deep and weathered so rain runs clear of the wall below. It is the detail that matters most in winter.
Replacement windows
Replaced, not patched.
When frames have rotted beyond repair, the old windows come out and new ones are made to the opening as it actually is. On this dormer, frames that had rotted through were replaced with new multi-light casements made to the existing opening.
Material matters
Built to live outside.
A window spends its whole life in the weather. The timber, joints and finish are chosen so it stays square, opens easily and holds its paint.
Made to be maintained
Frames and sashes are jointed so the window can be repaired and repainted over the years rather than thrown away.
Glazing to suit
Double glazing, slim units or single glazing, depending on the house, the window and any planning or listed building requirements.
Start with what you have
A photograph of the windows you have now is enough.
However tired they look. Rotten frames, sashes painted shut, windows replaced badly years ago. Show us the house and the windows, and we will work through what they should be.

Made by Foxthorne
Two makers. One standard.
Foxthorne is deliberately small. Every window commission is worked on by the two of us, from the first drawings through to making and fitting.
Andy brings around four decades of joinery experience. That depth of knowledge informs the way we work: how a joint is resolved, how timber is selected, how something should be proportioned and when a detail simply is not good enough.
Keeping the making between us means those decisions stay close to the work.
made by handFitting & your home
Made in the workshop. Fitted with the same care.
A considered service should feel discreet from first visit to final fit.
Discreet by default
No signwritten vans. Your project does not need to advertise itself to the street.
Your home stays private
No photographs or details of the work are published without your approval.
Prepared before we arrive
Windows are made and checked in the workshop first, so the time your house is open to the weather is kept short.
Care while we're there
Careful fitting. Dust managed wherever practical. Your home left clean and tidy.
What clients say
Work people are happy to live with.
“Exceptional quality. Andy communicated with us very well throughout, sharing designs so we could agree upfront what we wanted, and kept us well informed of timescales.”
“Andy advised us on the best materials and the different options in style. The job is now completed and we are very happy with the result.”
“Our Victorian house has walls over an inch off true. Quite a challenge. The result is really excellent. He’s hugely skilled, talented, hard working and reliable.”
“All is still very well with the table, with the colour of the oak table top having matured beautifully.”
From first conversation to fitting
A straightforward way to begin.
Show us the windows.
Photographs of the windows inside and out, and of the house as a whole, tell us what the new windows need to match. Rough sizes help, but we measure every opening before anything is drawn.
Agree the detail.
Sash or casement, glazing, bar pattern, profiles, ironmongery and finish. Each window is drawn so the proportions work across the whole elevation.
Made and fitted by us.
The windows are made in our workshop near Honiton and fitted by the two of us.
Window questions
Before you get in touch.
Do you make sash and casement windows?
Yes. Sash, casement, bay and bow windows are all made in our workshop, each to its own opening.
Can new windows match the originals?
Yes. Profiles, glazing bars, horns and mouldings can be taken from the existing windows, so new and old read as one set.
Are timber windows double glazed?
They can be. We will recommend double glazing, slim units or single glazing depending on the house, the window and any planning or listed building requirements.
Do you make windows for listed buildings?
We make windows for period and listed houses. Where listed building consent is needed, we can provide the drawings and details the application calls for.
Where do you undertake projects?
Foxthorne is based near Honiton in Devon and undertakes suitable bespoke joinery commissions across the South West and Thames Valley.
How much do bespoke timber windows cost?
Each window is quoted individually. The cost depends on size, the number of opening lights, glazing, ironmongery, finish and the work needed to fit the opening.
