Bay and Bow Windows in Market Harborough

Planning a bay replacement day

A bay replacement takes a full day and it changes the look of the house from the street, so we plan it carefully around The Old Grammar School and the rest of Market Harborough. That means propping arranged in advance, the room cleared and covered, and the building watertight again before we leave for the evening.

How we specify bay and bow windows here

Multiple frames joined with structural corner posts and, where the original timber was load bearing, a steel or reinforced jack post system that transfers the load while the window is out. Standard shootbolt locking on every opener, laminated glass on the accessible front pane, and reinforced keeps at the corner posts where the frame is most flexed.

• Structural assessment of the bay head included at survey
• Jack posts and propping used where the bay carries load
• Sill, roof junction and making good included in the quoted price
• A bay is quoted as a single job because it is one structural operation. The from price reflects a standard three facet bay in a semi, and the survey gives you a fixed figure for yours.
