Windows for Coastal Homes Across Truro (TR1)
Bespoke coastal window work in Truro — surveyed on site, quoted in writing, backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Truro coastal exposure is unforgiving on frames. Prevailing south-westerlies pull salt off the water and onto seafront elevations, and cheap ironmongery gives up inside two winters. We spec for that from day one — from Truro through to Perranporth (7 mi north-west), Penryn (7 mi south), Falmouth (8 mi south), Redruth (8 mi west).
Local context: Truro's compact city centre is dense with Georgian and Victorian housing under conservation oversight, while the outer suburbs at Threemilestone are mostly modern uPVC stock. Two very different jobs depending on the postcode. Common triggers we hear from Truro owners are soft-rotted Georgian sashes in Lemon Street and dated 1990s uPVC in Threemilestone yellowing in the south aspect.
