Bespoke Timber Windows and Front Door, Buckland, Faringdon
We installed 21 custom made timber windows and a bespoke timber front door for James at his property in Buckland, near Faringdon in Oxfordshire.
For this extensive project special attention was needed in both the design and installation of the windows and front door in order to perfectly suit the character of the traditional village property in the Vale of White Horse. James told us about his experience with us working on the project:
“We recently bought a beautiful home in the picturesque village of Buckland — a charming spot just four miles northeast of Faringdon in the Vale of White Horse district. From the moment we moved in, we knew the windows and doors would all need replacing. They were single‑glazed, beginning to rot, and no longer fit for purpose.
After researching local companies and reading countless reviews, we chose Woodcraft Windows — and we’re so glad we did. From the initial visit with Philip, the Project Manager, to the detailed survey carried out by Vadim, and finally the outstanding work from the installation team, the entire process was handled with genuine professionalism. We couldn’t fault a thing.
We opted for dual‑colour windows to complement the local stonework, along with a floating mullion to maximise glass area and pivot hinges instead of the standard friction stays offered by most companies. The result is stunning — both practical and perfectly in keeping with the character of the house.”
“We highly recommend Woodcraft Windows to anyone looking for high‑quality windows and doors supplied and installed by a friendly, reliable, and truly professional company.”
