What we see in Devon
Half the Listed Building Joinery problems we fix in Devon started as a sizing assumption. Local property is overwhelmingly cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure sets the pace of decay, and sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings is how it shows up first. This is really a job about replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Worth knowing locally: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”

Verified client, Devon“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”
Verified client, DevonDevon questions
Do you cover Devon?
Yes. We cover the whole of Devon including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton and the surrounding villages. Cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail. Because the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
