Replacement Windows in Exeter
Our home patch. Georgian and Victorian city housing, suburban semis and new build estates.
Exeter is where we are based, at Cranbrook on the eastern side of the city. That means short travel, quick surveys and easy aftercare, which matters more than most people realise when a hinge needs adjusting a year later.
The city's housing is unusually varied: Georgian and Victorian stock around St Leonards and Pennsylvania, interwar semis in Heavitree and St Thomas, post war housing at Whipton and Beacon Heath, and large new build areas east of the M5.
Matching the window to the street
On the older city streets, sightlines and bar patterns are what make a replacement look right or wrong from the pavement. We measure the existing profiles and match them rather than fitting whatever the system offers as standard.
On newer estates the priorities change to thermal performance, security hardware and colour matching to the existing frames and doors.

Planning and conservation in Exeter
The local authority here is Exeter City Council. Parts of central Exeter sit within the Cathedral Conservation Area — replacements there usually need to retain the original sightlines, and slim-sightline timber-effect units or on-site spraying are often the preferred routes.

Questions people ask
Which parts of Exeter do you cover?
All of it, plus Cranbrook, Exmouth, Topsham, Dawlish, Crediton, Ottery St Mary and the surrounding villages.
Can you do student or rental properties?
Yes, and we can work between tenancies. uPVC is normally the right specification for a rental.
Do you handle flats and shared frontages?
Yes. Where a management company or freeholder needs specification sign off, we provide the documentation.
How quickly can work start?
Survey within days, then manufacture time depending on material, typically three to five weeks for uPVC and eight to twelve for bespoke timber.
How does window replacements compare with the alternatives in Exeter?
Against a patch repair, a full replacement lasts. Against the other route — refreshing white upvc to anthracite grey on a pinhoe estate house without the cost of full replacement — it depends entirely on whether your seals have failed. We'll tell you which applies before quoting.
Do you cover the Cranbrook and Tithebarn Lane new-builds?
Yes — we do a lot of work on the eastern edge of Exeter, including spraying ten-year-old new-builds whose original white uPVC has gone chalky.
Can you work around Cathedral Quarter conservation rules?
We can. For listed and conservation-area properties we typically recommend on-site spraying or slim-sightline timber-effect units, and we can talk you through what's likely to be acceptable before you apply.
How is a Exeter quote structured?
Itemised: glass, hardware, staging, and any Exeter City Council compliance work shown separately, so you can compare it line by line against other quotes.
Do I need permission from Exeter City Council first?
Parts of central Exeter sit within the Cathedral Conservation Area — replacements there usually need to retain the original sightlines, and slim-sightline timber-effect units or on-site spraying are often the preferred routes. We check that during the Exeter survey and prepare drawings if consent turns out to be needed.
How quickly can you get to Exeter if something needs adjusting?
6 miles via the M5 (J29/J30), so a return visit is half a morning. We usually pair it with whatever else we have on between Exminster and Cranbrook.
