Georgian Bar Windows in Newmarket
Run-through astragal bars with putty-line profiles — the detail conservation officers actually look for, rather than stick-on grids.
Most georgian bar windows enquiries we take from Newmarket start with a photograph and a rough measurement. That is enough for an indicative figure — the survey firms it up.
What is included
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
Newmarket has a housing stock that punishes off-the-shelf joinery — openings settle, reveals go out of square, and cills rarely sit level. Bespoke georgian bars solve that properly.

Questions
Will the timber warp or stick?
Not if it is specified correctly. Sticking comes from moisture ingress into unsealed end grain, or from solid stock used where laminated sections were needed. Kiln-dried timber, sealed end grain, factory finishing and engineered sections on longer spans between them eliminate it.
Can you fit trickle vents?
Where Building Regulations require background ventilation, we design it into the head of the frame at manufacture. That looks far better and performs far better than a vent drilled through a finished frame on site.
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.
