Sash window repair in Ilfracombe
Sash Window Painting around Ilfracombe is a different job from one street to the next. The building stock is cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. 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. Where we put the effort is preparation done properly so the coating actually lasts its interval.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
Bear in mind for this area: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
