Teddington Lock and High Street window forms
Around Teddington Lock and the High Street, cottages with timber casements sit alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses with sash windows and canted bays, and later houses with simpler casements. Those openings use different operating methods and glazing divisions, each of which changes how an existing shutter should align and clear the window.
For a casement, we check handle and leaf movement behind the shutter frame. For a sash, the meeting rail and glazing pattern provide reference lines for panel alignment. A canted bay adds joined faces, so hinges, frame joints and closing gaps are followed around the angles before adjustment, repair or restoration is scoped. Distinguishing window-operation conflicts from faults within the shutters helps keep a Teddington casement-clearance correction separate from hinge, louvre or support work around a sash or bay.
