About the service

Bay windows are an architectural feature that defines many British homes — projecting from the front elevation, adding interior light and floor space, and creating the classic Victorian/Edwardian streetscape. Replacement bay windows are technically demanding because they involve structural lintel reinforcement, often a new flat-roof bay top, and precise mitred corner work. S&K Glazing replaces bay windows of all configurations — square bays, splayed bays, bow windows, and full-height bays — typically in 1-2 days.

Working in Colchester

Colchester — Britain's oldest recorded town — combines Roman heritage, Tudor and Georgian conservation, and a modern garrison-driven housing market. Our work spans listed-building sash windows in the Dutch Quarter through to volume re-glazing on the new-build estates across CO1-CO7.

For heritage and listed-property work in Colchester, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Essex council's conservation area rules and listed-building consent requirements, using putty-glazed timber sashes, slim-sightline secondary glazing systems that sit invisibly behind original primary glazing, and steel-window restoration for Crittall-style frames. Most commonly we're working across CO1 and CO7 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for East conservation areas.

Our process

How we deliver in Colchester

01

Structural survey

We assess the existing bay framework, identify load-bearing elements, check for movement or settlement, and confirm whether structural reinforcement is required.

02

Design & quotation

We produce design drawings showing the new bay configuration, corner detailing, glass specification, and roof rebuilding if needed. Fixed-price quote within 48 hours.

03

Manufacture

Bay windows are manufactured as a coordinated set — corner posts, mullions, and glazing all factory-prepared. Lead time 4-6 weeks.

FAQs

Common questions

No — we manufacture to match the original profile, glazing bar layout, and corner detailing. Heritage timber or sculptured uPVC profiles preserve the architectural character.
Usually yes — bay installations involve work at multiple levels with heavy units. We include scaffolding hire in the quote so there are no surprise costs.
1-2 days for a standard square or splayed bay. Larger bow windows or full-height bays take 2-3 days. We weather-seal at the end of every working day.
