Timber Windows & Doors in Braintree
Schnauber supplies and installs timber windows and doors in Braintree. Free home survey and no-obligation quotation.
Bradford Street combines bows, sashes and casements
Stanford House at 44 Bradford Street gives Braintree a particularly useful joinery reference. Historic England describes a late-eighteenth-century white gault-brick house, possibly containing older fabric. Its windows include double-hung sashes, three-light mullioned and transomed casements, and two ground-floor bow windows. The entrance has an eight-panel door with glazed upper panels. These are documented differences within one listed frontage, rather than a single style for all of Bradford Street.

When comparing replacement options, separate the curved or projecting window assembly from an ordinary flat opening. Include the cornice, sill and doorcase in photographs. Matching a finish across the project need not mean making all the window divisions identical.

Keep Bradford Street and town-centre evidence distinct
The council adopted the Braintree and Bradford Street appraisals and management plans in August 2023. Use the relevant map and current council advice for your property, including any listed-building controls. A previous replacement visible nearby is a reference photograph, not permission for your own work.
For an opening with an arched head or a decorative door surround, photograph the junctions closely. Ask the survey to distinguish the new joinery from masonry, render and trim that are to remain. If you want to change the glazing pattern, include a marked-up photograph so the change is explicit.
Describe delivery access and any shared route before the visit is arranged. For multiple openings, label the photographs with the room and floor. Request an itemised specification for frame design, glazing, finish and installation so an alternative can be compared without losing those details.

Request a free surveyBraintree window and door questions
Which Braintree conservation appraisal should I use? +
The council lists Braintree Town Centre and Bradford Street separately. Check the location of your property on the relevant map and ask the council if the boundary or applicable controls are unclear.
How much does a timber window cost? +
Every piece is made to measure, so price depends on size, style, timber and glazing. That’s why we offer a free home survey and a detailed, no-obligation quotation.
Can a door and windows be specified together? +
Yes. Tell us which openings are included and which existing surrounds remain. Discuss the timber finish, glass and hardware as one project while keeping each opening separately identified in the quote.
Can different window types belong together on a Bradford Street frontage? +
Yes. Stanford House’s official entry records sashes, casements and bow windows within the same building. That is a reason to investigate surviving differences on your property before proposing a uniform replacement. See the source record.
