Sapele Windows in Braintree
Sapele is the workhorse hardwood of the UK joinery trade — stable, dense, takes paint and stain beautifully, and priced sensibly.
Our sapele windows are made from kiln-dried hardwood, machined in the workshop and factory-finished before they ever reach a Braintree site. Wet-brushing on site is where timber windows get a bad name.
What is included
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
- Micro-porous finishes that let the timber breathe rather than trapping moisture behind a hard film.
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
Homeowners across Braintree come to us for sapele windows after a uPVC replacement has aged badly. Timber is the material you specify when you intend to still be happy with it in twenty years.
Everything is made to order, so the quotation stage matters. We would rather spend an extra hour on the survey than get a section wrong.

Can you match existing windows?
Yes. That is most of what we do. We record the existing sections at survey, reproduce the mouldings and sightlines, and match the finish. On listed buildings we will produce like-for-like profile drawings for the consent application.
Are hardwood windows secure?
Yes. Multi-point locking, laminated glass options and key-locking handles are all available, and a solid hardwood frame is considerably harder to attack than a hollow plastic one. We can specify to PAS 24 where a planning condition or insurer requires it.
Do you take away the old windows?
Yes. Removal and responsible disposal are included, along with making good internally. We work one opening at a time so the property is never left open, and we clear the site each day.
How much disruption should I expect?
Less than most people fear. A straightforward replacement is one opening at a time, typically two to four windows a day. Scaffolding is only needed on higher elevations. We protect floors and furniture and leave the site clean each evening.
