Conservation joinery in Dawlish
There is no standard version of Timber Frame Repair in Dawlish, which is rather the point. Property here runs to cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. With the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure in the mix, sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings is a question of when rather than whether. What you are paying for is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
A detail specific to this area: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Devon“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Devon“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
