Bay & Bow Windows in Wantage, Oxfordshire
Every bay & bow windows project we deliver in Wantage starts with a senior surveyor on site — measuring, listening, and specifying to the character of Grove, Letcombe Regis and the wider Oxfordshire area. 3-, 4- and 5-facet bay and bow window replacements with structural corner posts and lead-lined roofs.
Bay & Bow Windows designed around Cotswold stone cottages, Oxford townhouses and painted heritage profiles.
Wantage's Georgian Market Place, the surrounding downland villages and the growing Grove developments across OX12 combine market-town character with expanding new-build. We install throughout with planning-ready drawings.

What sets our bay & bow windows apart in Wantage.
Structural Corner Posts
Steel-reinforced bay posts carry the load above — essential for 45° splayed bays and box bays that support first-floor masonry.
3-, 4- & 5-Facet
Splayed bays for Victorian terraces, box bays for Edwardian semis and shallow bows for cottages — all built to your survey template.
Lead-Lined Roofs
Traditional lead-flashed or GRP roofs matched to the existing bay, with proper flashing back to the brickwork and stepped over the parapet where required.
Replacement in a Day
In most cases we remove the tired 60s or 70s bay and refit the replacement inside a single working day — no exposed brickwork overnight.
Heritage or Modern
Traditional splayed bays with astragal bars and dummy sashes, or clean contemporary square bays in aluminium — matched to the age of the property.
Kerb Appeal
The single most valuable retrofit for a Victorian or Edwardian terrace — a restored bay adds visible property value and lifts the entire façade.

"Composite front door in a bespoke dark green with brushed brass. It's the front-of-house detail the property was missing."
"Fair, honest, considered advice. They talked us into the right specification, not the most elaborate."
