Conservation joinery in Exeter
Most Listed Building Joinery enquiries we take in Exeter start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local stock is dominated by cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. The exposure here is the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, which is exactly the condition that causes sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings. The part that matters is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One local point to factor in: 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.”
Verified client, DevonExeter questions
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
