Conservation joinery in Totnes
Ask three firms about Slim Cavity Glazing in Totnes and you will get three different answers. Around here it is cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. The other factor is the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, which is why sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings is the most common reason people call us. What you are paying for is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Bear in mind for this area: 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 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.
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.
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.
