Schnauber - Bespoke Timber Windows and Doors

02/11/2026

🏡 “The windows are rotting. Surely we can just replace them?”

In a listed home, it isn’t quite that simple.

We recently visited this Norfolk property. While many historic windows can be carefully repaired and saved, our assessment is that these have deteriorated beyond repair.

A previous planning application was refused. We’ll now be preparing a fresh application with the homeowner.

What’s the difference between the permissions? 🔍

📋 Planning permission considers whether proposed changes are acceptable, including their effect on the building’s appearance and surroundings.

🏛️ Listed Building Consent considers the impact on the building’s special architectural or historic interest, including internal and external features.

You may need both. One does not replace the other.

🪵When replacement is justified, condition evidence, detailed drawings and a heritage statement help explain why. Timber, glazing, frame profiles and ironmongery all matter.

Our next step is to address the refusal reasons and develop a sympathetic proposal. Required approvals must be secured before work begins.

The key turns. The door closes. You’re home. 🗝️🏡

Shoes off in the hallway, the kettle goes on, and the dog has already claimed your spot on the sofa. Outside, the evening grows darker. Inside is everything that matters.

This October, National Home Security Month is a reminder to give the windows and doors you rely on every day a little attention. 🔐

At Schnauber, we believe every conversation about beautiful timber windows and doors should include security, from the choice of locks and hardware to a precise, professional fit.

Whether you’re planning a welcoming new entrance or replacing much-loved sash windows, let’s talk about character, craftsmanship and security together.

Beautiful timber windows and doors. Thoughtfully considered, down to the last detail. ✨

Two windows, plenty of character. 🪟✨

Our team installed two beautiful timber sash windows in Cambridge, with crisp white frames and elegant brass details that sit perfectly alongside the home’s traditional brickwork.

Beautiful from the street. Just as lovely from inside. 🤍

🚪 Ever wondered what makes a stable door so clever?

You might know them as stable doors, Dutch doors or even barn-style doors. Whatever you call them, there’s a reason this traditional design has been loved for generations. 🌿🏡

The door is split horizontally, meaning the top and bottom can be opened independently. Open the top for fresh air and natural light while keeping the bottom closed, perfect for homes with children, dogs or simply when you want to enjoy the garden without leaving the whole doorway open. 🐾☀️

And they’re certainly not just for old cottages. Crafted in timber and finished in the right colour, a stable door can look beautiful on period properties, country homes and modern houses alike.

Traditional idea. Modern performance. And plenty of character. 💚

Would you have a stable door in your home?

🪟 Six new sash windows, beautifully fitted in Cambridge.

Sash windows have been part of British architecture for over 350 years, becoming an iconic feature of Georgian and Victorian homes. Today, they can combine that timeless character with the benefits of modern timber window construction. ✨

For this Cambridge home, we installed six bespoke sash windows, designed to look completely at home with the property’s original character.

Traditional style. Modern craftsmanship. Made to last. 🤍

🏡✨ From window to French doors… what a transformation!

Our team has been in Bristol this week, turning an existing window into beautiful bespoke timber French doors.

More natural light, a greater sense of space and a seamless connection to the garden. 🌿 And most importantly, the new doors complement the property so naturally, they look as though they’ve always been there. 🤍

Schnauber Timber Windows & Doors, are proud to support this incredible fundraising challenge.

A determined grandfather is cycling 170 miles from Bristol to The Red Lion in Stretham over three days in memory of his grandson, Hunter. Despite recovering from a heart attack last year and training while managing borderline Type 2 diabetes, he’s taking on this challenge to raise money for Hunter’s Helping Hand, helping families who have experienced the loss of a child.

If you’re able to donate, or simply share the fundraiser, your support could make a real difference. Let’s come together and help this amazing cause. 💙
