Do you work in Cambridge's conservation areas, like the Kite or De Freville? +
Yes — much of our Cambridge work is inside conservation areas. We match glazing-bar profiles and sightlines to satisfy conservation officers, and your free survey includes advice on what is likely to be approved.
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 Cambridge? +
Yes. We specialise in bespoke sash, casement and Heritage Slimlite windows for Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s properties across Cambridge, 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 Cambridge.
Do you offer free quotations in Cambridge? +
Yes — we offer a free home survey and no-obligation quotations throughout Cambridge and the surrounding villages. Call 0800 061 4118 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge? +
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.
