Bespoke Timber Casement Windows
At James Wilding Joinery, we manufacture bespoke timber casement windows in two traditional styles: flush casement and stormproof casement. Each design offers its own unique characteristics, allowing us to create windows that are perfectly suited to the style, age and requirements of your property.
Flush casement windows provide a clean, traditional appearance, with the opening sash sitting neatly level within the frame, making them an ideal choice for period properties, heritage homes and contemporary designs seeking a refined finish. Stormproof casement windows feature a sash that sits slightly proud of the frame, providing additional protection against the elements while maintaining a classic timber window appearance.
With a wide range of customisation options available, including glazing bar designs, opening configurations, curved frames, arched details and bespoke finishes, our skilled craftsmen can create timber casement windows to suit almost any project. Manufactured in our Yorkshire workshop using quality timbers and Accoya®, every window is designed to provide exceptional craftsmanship, durability and timeless style.
Bespoke Timber Mock Sash Windows
Our bespoke timber mock sash windows provide the traditional appearance of a sliding sash window while offering the practical benefits of a modern casement window. Made to measure in our Yorkshire workshop, each window is individually crafted with carefully considered details, including decorative horns, glazing bar designs and traditional styling features to create an authentic sash window appearance.
Ideal for period properties, cottages, barn conversions and homes where traditional character is important, our mock sash windows replicate the look and proportions of a timber sliding sash window from the outside while providing the ease of operation and practicality of a casement window.
With a choice of quality timbers, Accoya®, glazing options, window furniture and bespoke finishes, every mock sash window can be tailored to complement your property. They also provide a practical and more economical solution where the appearance of a traditional sash window is desired, while offering the durability, performance and convenience of a modern casement design.
Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques, our bespoke timber mock sash windows deliver timeless character, exceptional quality and long-lasting performance.

Bespoke Glazing Options
The right glazing can make a significant difference to the appearance, performance and energy efficiency of your bespoke timber windows and doors. At James Wilding Joinery, we offer a wide range of glazing options to suit both traditional and contemporary properties, ensuring every project meets your individual requirements.
Whether you are restoring a period property, replacing windows in a conservation area or creating a modern home, we can advise on the most appropriate glazing solution. Decorative glazing bars can be incorporated to faithfully replicate original window designs, while slimline heritage double glazing units are available where appropriate, helping to retain the traditional appearance of historic windows while improving thermal performance.
We offer a comprehensive range of glazing options, including toughened safety glass, argon-filled double glazing and energy-efficient glazing units designed to achieve excellent U-values. Our experienced craftsmen will work with you to select the most suitable glazing, balancing aesthetics, security, insulation and long-term performance for your bespoke joinery.
Bespoke Ironmongery & Finishing Touches
The right ironmongery is the finishing touch that brings your bespoke timber windows and doors together. At James Wilding Joinery, we offer an extensive selection of premium door and window furniture, carefully chosen to complement both traditional and contemporary designs.
Whether you are restoring a period property, renovating a listed building or creating a modern home, we can help you select the perfect ironmongery to suit the character of your project. We regularly work with leading manufacturers, including From the Anvil and Coastal Group, offering an extensive choice of high-quality handles, hinges, locks and window furniture in a range of finishes, including black, satin chrome, polished chrome and brass.
For customers looking for something truly individual, we are happy to source specialist ironmongery or fit hardware supplied by you. We can also commission bespoke pieces for unique projects, ensuring every detail complements your handcrafted joinery perfectly. From traditional cottage latches and heritage fittings to contemporary architectural hardware, we help create a beautifully finished result that is built to last.
Professional Factory Finishing
At James Wilding Joinery, we have a dedicated in-house spray finishing facility, allowing us to provide a professional factory-applied finish for our bespoke timber windows, doors, kitchens and fitted joinery.
As approved Teknos sprayers, we use industry-leading microporous paint systems specifically designed for high-performance timber joinery. These advanced coatings provide excellent weather resistance, durability and long-lasting protection, helping to maintain the beauty and performance of your timber products for years to come.
Our colour matching service allows us to achieve virtually any paint specification, including popular brands such as Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Dulux and RAL colours. This gives homeowners, architects and designers almost unlimited choice when selecting the perfect finish for their project.
For those who prefer to enhance the natural character of timber, we also offer a range of premium stains and protective finishes. Whether using Accoya®, Sapele or European Oak, our experienced finishing team can recommend the ideal treatment to complement your bespoke joinery while preserving the natural beauty of the wood.
Planning Permission & Building Regulations for Timber Windows and Doors
When replacing timber windows and doors, planning permission or additional approvals may be required in certain circumstances. This is particularly common for properties located within National Parks, conservation areas or for listed buildings, where changes to the external appearance of a property may require approval.
Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, James Wilding Joinery regularly works on period properties, traditional cottages, barn conversions and heritage homes throughout Skipton, Ilkley, Clitheroe, Harrogate, Craven and the surrounding areas. We understand the importance of preserving the character and architectural features of older properties while improving performance, security and energy efficiency.
We have extensive experience working on projects where careful consideration is required to ensure new timber windows and doors are sympathetic to the original design of the building. Our team is happy to assist throughout the process, whether you need guidance with planning applications, technical drawings, specifications or meetings with local authorities.
It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure that any required approvals are obtained before work begins. Where Building Regulations approval is required, this can typically be achieved through submitting a Building Notice or making a Building Regulations application. An independent building inspector will then assess the installation and, once approved, issue a certificate confirming compliance with current regulations.
With many years’ experience working alongside building inspectors, architects and local authorities, we understand the requirements involved and can provide advice and support to help ensure your timber windows and doors are installed correctly and meet the necessary standards.
