Fixing draughty single-glazed sashes in strand townhouses in Topsham
Topsham sits in EX3, roughly 5 miles from our Cranbrook workshop along the M5 (J30). We fit casement windows across the town and the Exminster–Exeter–Exmouth corridor, working mostly with owners of period and conservation-area homes who need work that respects original sightlines.
Cranbrook to Topsham is about 5 miles via the M5 (J30), passing Exminster and Exeter on the way. The same run serves Exmouth, which is exactly why small casement windows openings still price sensibly here.

Three postcodes, one team. EX3 and the lanes toward Exton, Countess Wear and Exton are all inside our normal Topsham round, so a casement upgrade never carries a distance surcharge.

If the frames are sound and only the finish has gone, respraying a previously replaced 2000s upvc frame back to a heritage off-white is the cheaper answer. If the seals have failed and tired secondary glazing systems trying to compensate has set in, discreet timber-effect sash replacements behind a listed strand façade is the honest recommendation. We assess both on site in Topsham before quoting either.
Draughty single-glazed sashes in strand townhouses is usually a symptom, not the fault. In Topsham it normally traces to failed edge seals plus background ventilation that was blocked years ago; we measure both before recommending a casement upgrade.
