This is the better one of 3, one of which has about a foot wide and inch deep rotten section at the base, and all have been repaired previously. The missus favours a bit of easy clean UPVC so exploring all options!
Of the one's we've found, they offer a range of openings but not with a casement that is hinged at the top, nor with single bars down the centre, top and bottom.
Rotted bit can be rebuilt if it is not load bearing. Timbabuild appears to be a good solution. All mine could be repaired with 2 part filler. The window leaf I need to replace because it was warped since new 30 years ago.
We've been looking locally and online for companies that do the style that we want with the opening that we want. Thus far, of the UPVC companies contacted it's 'here's our catalogue', sizes adjusted to suit but they don't step outside their current range. We can go to a timber window manufacturer and have fully bespoke, exactly what we want, for a price.
How much are they asking? Maybe a small carpentry shop could be cheaper.
