The character of Wells — england's smallest cathedral city has one of the most preserved cathedral closes anywhere — shapes every casement windows spec we produce. Sightlines, colour, glazing bar detail and reveal depth all get thought through before a written quote leaves our desk.
We spec casement windows for Wells the way we do for every city in Somerset: by looking at the openings, the aspect and the surrounding builds — in this case cathedral-area heritage stone houses, georgian vicars' close housing, modern outer estates — before quoting a single frame.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Glastonbury (5 mi south-west), Shepton Mallet (5 mi east), Street (7 mi south-west), Cheddar (7 mi north-west), Midsomer Norton (9 mi north-east), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Wells.
A typical run to Wells threads Glastonbury → Shepton Mallet → Street → Cheddar, so if you're on one of those routes we can often combine visits and price accordingly.
Cob, cob-and-thatch and rendered stone façades common near Wells need frames sitting proud of the reveal, not flush. We adjust the outer cill and drip detail so water shed matches how the wall actually sheds it — a small thing that stops long-term staining.
