Hardwood windows in Highland
Bespoke timber windows and doors, surveyed, made and installed across Highland — Inverness, Fort William, Nairn, Aviemore, Thurso and everywhere between.
Most hardwood windows enquiries we take from Highland start with a photograph and a rough measurement. That is enough for an indicative figure — the survey firms it up.
Our timber joinery are made from kiln-dried hardwood, machined in the workshop and factory-finished before they ever reach a Highland site. Wet-brushing on site is where timber windows get a bad name.
What we bring to a Highland project
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
- Engineered laminated sections on anything over 1.2m, which resist bowing far better than solid stock.
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.
- Weathered cills with a proper drip groove, so water leaves the timber instead of tracking back under it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
Guide prices in Highland
Prices below are supplied-and-fitted including VAT, for a typical domestic unit in Idigbo with double glazing and a factory-painted finish. Oak, Accoya, triple glazing and larger openings move the figure up; ordering several units at once brings it down.

Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent turns on detail — sightlines, glazing bar sections, opening method and glass type. We survey the existing joinery, record the profiles and produce drawings you can submit. We will not quote a detail we know will not pass.
How much maintenance do they need?
Far less than people expect. Wash the frames twice a year, inspect the finish annually, and expect to recoat exposed elevations every eight to ten years. Sheltered elevations often go considerably longer. Modern micro-porous coatings are a different product entirely from the gloss paints that gave timber its reputation.
Which hardwood should I choose?
It depends on the finish. For painted work, Idigbo and Accoya are excellent — stable, even-grained and superb paint substrates. For a stained or oiled finish where the grain is meant to show, European oak and Sapele are the usual choices. We will recommend a species at survey based on your finish and exposure.
What is Accoya and is it worth the premium?
Accoya is timber that has been acetylated — chemically modified so it no longer absorbs water. It barely moves, does not rot, and carries a 50-year above-ground warranty. It is the single best paint substrate available. For exposed elevations and coastal sites the premium usually pays for itself.
How do the surveys and quotations work?
The guide price tool gives you an indicative range in a couple of minutes. If that range works, we book a free survey — measurements, profiles, exposure, access — and issue a fixed written quotation with a drawing. Nothing is manufactured until you have approved that drawing.
