Has anyone come across a company that will make a up a wooden window
in a non-standard size for anything other than silly money. The local
joinery firm have quoted about £500 unglazed (it's a 2ft x 3ft
casement window with a single opening). Magnets want about £650 double-
glazed.

Is it possible to widen the existing opening to a standard size?

Try asking P.N.A. Joinery. Their contact details are he

They fitted some windows (approx 3ft x 5ft) for me 8 years ago. In those
days they cost me £200 each for 10. These were fitted, double glazed.
Superb service. I was very impressed and the windows are lasting well.

==================================
I can't help with a company to do the job but I would suggest that you
visit one or two larger timber yards in your area. Some of these yards
stock all the various sections needed to repair or make complete windows -
sill, mullion, transom, sash etc. If you can find the ready-machined
sections then making a window is a basic woodworking job. Even if you
can't do this yourself a competent handyman should be able to make one of
the required size from stock machined parts in a few hours.

I just had purpose built sash windows made up for me here in Hackney -
about £450 each, if I remember, primed and glazed for 2 sashes and the
sash box.

I'm down on the Oxfordshire/Bucks borders and I think it's the area
that's pushing prices up - too many thatched cottages and London
salaries.

unless you travel this way often, I'd dig out your local newspaper and
yellow pages and do some ringing around for more quotes.

Google Lattice windows and ask them.
They are near you.
