Conservation joinery in Ilfracombe
Nothing about Paint Analysis and Matching in Ilfracombe is settled until someone has been on site. Given the cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. 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. What you are paying for is matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One local point to factor in: 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“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, DevonIlfracombe questions
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.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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 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.
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.
