Timber casement windows are a practical choice for several reasons. When it is responsibly sourced by an FSC-certified company like Lomax + Wood, it is more sustainable than other materials. It also makes sense from an economic perspective. The high-quality bespoke wooden windows London properties deserve might cost 50 percent more than uPVC. However, if they are properly maintained they will last for 60 to 80 years, three times as long as uPVC.
Also, keep in mind that replacement timber windows London-style will increase a property’s value by around 10 percent. Fitting cheap uPVC will have the opposite effect and reduces the value by an average of £12,000.
There are two common varieties of wood windows London properties tend to use. Sash windows were the style of choice until Victorian times. You can learn more about those here. The other popular configuration is timber casement windows London-wide.
Casement windows have been around almost as long as sash windows, but in Edwardian and Victorian times were generally more common in the countryside. However, the trend towards timber casement windows had arrived in London by the time of the great suburban expansion during the inter-war years.
Wooden casement windows and art deco touches were the order of the day in the 1920s and 30s. Almost a century on, wooden window manufacturers in London have noticed that people are taking period preservation as seriously once more. For example, Croydon, as they are for older Victorian properties a few miles closer to the City in somewhere like Streatham.

We provide modern wooden windows, casement, and aluminium-clad to our customers. Each of our windows will have been designed specifically for each customer, ensuring that they will be provided with a design based on a tested product that is made-to-order.
At Lomax + Wood, we are pleased to be able to offer you a wide choice of wooden replacement windows in London from our Essex base. Choose from hardwood or softwood options, depending on your preferences and what will be most in keeping with the property and the neighbourhood.
Whichever you choose, you can be confident that the wood is sustainably sourced. Everyone at Lomax + Wood is proud of our FSC® Chain of Custody certification, which means all our products and processes are FSC-compliant throughout the supply chain, from source to installation.
Both hardwood and softwood options are also robust and hard-wearing. Each has its pros and cons, so it comes down to aesthetics when deciding which is right for you. Softwood frames have a smooth surface and are suitable for painting, while hardwood has a more natural-looking finish where you can see the grain of the wood. This can be stained and installed without painting. Care and maintenance best practices are similar for both types.
We have mostly spoken about period properties in and around London for obvious reasons. Take a helicopter’s eye view. The townhouses in the West End have survived from the Edwardian age, from Victorian homes in the residential areas close to the city to the suburban semis from the inter-war years around the north and south circular. When you look at it like that, it is a little like viewing the rings on a tree trunk.

If properly looked after and maintained, timber casement windows can last for 60 years or even longer. This is about three times the longevity of uPVC.
If done correctly with good quality products, timber window frame paint should last between five and ten years. The same applies to wood stains on hardwood windows.
Hardwood or softwood can be used to make timber casement windows, and each has pros and cons. Softwoods are machined to a smooth finish and can be painted any colour. Hardwood is generally best left natural with just a coat of stain. Hardwood is marginally less flammable. Ultimately, it is a case of which type will look best on your property.
That’s a subjective question, but we would certainly say timber windows have several advantages over uPVC. They look more natural and tend to positively impact value, especially on older properties. Timber is also more sustainable and works out much more cost-effective than uPVC in the long term.
