Do you cover the villages around Bedford, like Bromham and Elstow? +
Yes — our Mill Street team covers Bedford and the surrounding villages daily, including Bromham, Biddenham, Elstow, Clapham and out to Ampthill and Woburn. Your free survey is at a time that suits you.
Are you FENSA registered? +
Yes. Schnauber is FENSA registered, ensuring all window and door installations comply with current building regulations and recognised industry standards — with certification provided for your records.
Do you make timber windows for period properties in Bedford? +
Yes. We specialise in bespoke sash, casement and Heritage Slimlite windows for Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s properties across Bedford, including conservation areas. Every window is made to measure to preserve the original character of your home.
Can you replace uPVC windows with timber windows? +
Yes. We regularly replace ill-fitting uPVC windows with handcrafted timber casement and sash windows — as we did for a 1930s property in central Cambridge — restoring the home's original appearance while improving insulation and security.
Are your timber windows double glazed? +
All our timber windows are available with double or triple glazing, including slim double-glazed units in our Heritage Slimlite range — ideal for listed buildings and conservation areas in Bedford.
Do you offer free quotations in Bedford? +
Yes — we offer a free home survey and no-obligation quotations throughout Bedford and the surrounding villages. Call 01234 604022 or use the form below.
Can I work with you in a conservation area or listed building? +
Absolutely — this is one of our specialities. Our Heritage Slimlite range uses slender double-glazed units designed specifically for listed buildings and conservation areas, and we can advise on the requirements for your Bedford property during your free survey.
What timber do you use? +
We select the best species of hardwood and treated softwood from sustainable forests. The timber is treated in-house with waterproof sealants, LVL laminates and quality coatings, then engineered using our state-of-the-art German manufacturing process for maximum durability.
How much maintenance do timber windows need? +
Far less than you might think. Thanks to high-quality timber and water-sealed finishes, minimal maintenance is recommended only every 5–10 years — and our aluminium-clad range needs virtually none at all.
How much do timber windows cost in Bedford? +
Because every window is made to measure, the price depends on the size, style, timber and glazing you choose. That's why we offer a free home survey and a detailed, no-obligation quotation — so you know exactly where you stand before deciding anything.
Do you handle both supply and installation? +
Yes — Schnauber manufactures, supplies and installs. Your windows and doors are fitted by our own team, and every installation is FENSA certified so it complies with current building regulations.
