Conservation joinery in Tavistock
There is no standard version of Section Drawings for Consent in Tavistock, 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. Locally you are contending with the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, so sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings is the fault we are called out to. The part that matters is drawings detailed enough for a case officer to approve first time.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One thing that catches people out here: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Verified client, Devon“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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 guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
