Sash Window Replication across Devon
Most Sash Window Replication enquiries we take in Devon start with an opening that is not a standard size. Given the cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure sets the pace of decay, and sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings is how it shows up first. What you are paying for is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Devon?
Yes. We cover the whole of Devon including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton and the surrounding villages. Cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail. Because the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
