Splice and Scarf Repair across Devon
Splice and Scarf Repair across Devon tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. 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. 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 value is in cutting out only the decayed section and letting in new timber, not in the timber bill.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A local consideration we always raise: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Repair before replace
If the original timber is sound we keep it. It is cheaper and it is better.

Brush seal systems that stop movement without making the sash stiff.
Honest condition survey
Including telling you when a window is genuinely beyond saving.

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.
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.
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.
