Improved security is a nearly always a factor in the decision making process for our customers. This was definitely the case for Mr Shear, who owns a 1930s property in London. Mr Shear had placed steel bars on his windows due to the level of security that they afforded.
The first contact from Mr Shear came from our company website. Schnauber were one of three companies that Mr Shear had contacted as he believed they could be suitable for the project.
Mr Shear had old casement windows in his property that were extremely insecure, rotting and draughty, especially in the winter months. Sales and Business Development Manager, Marius, visited Mr Shear to find out about his requirements. It soon became apparent that security was the top priority. Marius was able to offer Mr Shear the highest levels of security with a pas 24 locking system and security glazing. Marius could also assure Mr Shear that the energy efficiency within his home would improve as a result of the installation of the new timber flush casement windows, bay windows and entrance door.
The installation of the windows and door took 7 days in total using two installation teams. Everything went to plan and following completion Mr Shear emailed to say that his expectations with regards to the actual product and the installation process had been exceeded.
The outcome of the installation was that Mr Shear’s home benefitted from improved security, energy efficiency and aesthetics. Mr Shear sent over a thank you via email and has been busy recommending Schnauber to family, friends and colleagues.
1. A Prominent Location with High Safety and Security Demands
The property sits on a busy main road facing a public park, an area with a history of attempted break-ins. The client had installed metal security shutters, which meant the project required an exceptional level of planning and care. We partnered with a trusted scaffolding company to ensure a safe working environment and to maintain full protection of the home throughout the installation.
2. Substandard Workmanship from Previous Installers
Although the existing timber windows and doors were not very old, they had been fitted poorly. The frames were under stress, the structure around them was compromised, and the overall finish lacked the quality expected from a premium installation.
Removing these units without disturbing the building fabric or the internal shutters demanded skilled craftsmanship, precision tools, and a methodical approach. Our goal was simple: protect the property, preserve its integrity, and prepare each opening to receive the new high performance timber units.
1. Ensuring a Secure and Controlled Environment
From day one, we prioritised security and safety. Access was carefully scheduled, temporary protection was managed with precision, and the property remained fully secure every step of the way.
2. Expert Removal of Poorly Installed Timber Windows
This stage required patience and expertise. Our craftsmen used specialist techniques to remove the old frames slowly and cleanly, protecting surrounding brickwork, plaster, and timber.
This meticulous approach reflects our philosophy: wooden windows and doors deserve to be installed with respect, care, and true technical mastery.
3. Installation of Premium Timber Windows and Bespoke Wooden Doors
With every opening prepared to perfection, we began installing the new handcrafted wooden units. These premium products elevated the home immediately, delivering a level of refinement that only real timber can provide. The benefits were clear:
The difference was transformative. The depth, warmth, and authenticity of true timber brought a level of character and elegance that uPVC simply cannot replicate. Combined with our high end installation, these windows and doors will stand the test of time, enhancing the home’s beauty, comfort, and value for many years to come.
