I had a very hardcore timber specialist work on my house (family friend) and he was against most of the usual window companies on the grounds that they did not use good enough wood. I want to stay in my house forever, so it was important to me that the best quality was used. I spent weeks researching this and it was a nightmare. I came to the conclusion that Accoya wood was the best (engineered pine) BUT most companies that use it have months lead time. I really liked SPS Timber Windows but the lead time was 6 months! With builders on site I needed windows in 6 weeks time. In the end I was recommened Timbawood by a builder who works on big houses in Chelsea/Richmond. They have a factory outisde London, which I duly visited. They managed to fit me in by making the guys work at the weekend. They installed the day they said they would and so far so good. They are covered in plastic as we are currently painting but I will report if they are not good, which I hope not as they were expensive... but the customer service has been exceptional. The windows are also made in England, which mattered to me as it meant they were controlled. I did not want to spend an enormous amount on windows made abroad and that arrived entirely painted in the UK. How could I be sure what wood was used? I would certainly highly recommend them.
