Award-winning, FENSA-registered craftsmen making bespoke sash, casement and heritage timber windows for Ely's finest period homes.
Schnauber supplies and installs timber sash windows, casements and doors in Ely. A useful first enquiry distinguishes an existing window that needs a closer match from a new opening that needs a fresh specification. Include the street address and photographs so the survey can establish which details need to be retained.
For a sash replacement, record the number and position of glazing bars rather than requesting a generic period style. Photograph the sill from outside and the lower corners from inside. Tell us whether the difficulty is opening the sash, a draught at the meeting rail or deterioration in the timber: those observations call for different survey checks.
Choose from our timber sash windows, casement windows and Heritage Slimlite range. The survey records the details for your property before the final specification is agreed.

East Cambridgeshire conservation guidance is the local reference for this check. For a listed building or an address with additional controls, confirm the proposed work with the relevant authority before placing an order.
