Wooden window frames are available in a wide range of styles and can provide good thermal performance when fitted with suitable glazing. Wooden casement windows can suit both modern and period properties and are available in different timber species, finishes and designs.
Timber window frames offer a number of benefits compared with materials such as uPVC or aluminium. They can be painted, stained or finished to suit the property and may be particularly suitable where a traditional appearance is required. Common timber options include oak and other hardwoods or softwoods, depending on the window design and manufacturer.
Timber can also be sourced from responsibly managed forests or reclaimed sources. Wooden frames can last for many years when maintained appropriately, although they usually require periodic painting, staining or sealing to protect them from the weather. uPVC is generally a lower-cost alternative, while timber prices will depend on the wood, glazing and specification chosen.
As a rough guide, replacing a large opening casement window with a hardwood frame may cost around £800, including removal of the old window, labour, fixings and sealant. Painting, staining or other finishing may cost extra depending on what is included in the quote.

Replacing wooden casement windows can involve removing the existing frame, preparing the opening and fitting and sealing the new window correctly. If you do not want to carry out the work yourself, you can hire a local window fitter or timber window installer.
You can start by asking friends or family whether they have used someone for similar work or use the free quote service on this site to compare local installers. Check customer reviews where available and ask to see examples of previous timber window installations.
Once you have a shortlist, request detailed written quotations and ask what is included, such as removal of the existing window, installation, finishing, disposal and any guarantees offered.
You can also check whether the installer belongs to a relevant trade organisation, such as the Glass and Glazing Federation, where applicable. Trade membership can provide additional information about the company and any consumer protection or dispute-resolution arrangements available.
Compare the quotations on a like-for-like basis and choose the installer and service that suit your project.
