Grade II Listed Windows in Exeter
Serving Exeter and the Exminster / Topsham area via the M5 (J29/J30). Free written quotes, no pressure.
What Exeter City Council rules mean for heritage windows here
Our coverage of EX1 is deliberate. Exeter anchors a run that also picks up Exminster, Topsham and Cranbrook, so heritage replacement windows here is priced as local work — because it is.
Exeter's housing map runs from victorian terraces around st davids through to georgian townhouses in the cathedral quarter, so no two heritage replacement windows jobs match. We quote on measured openings, never a phone-in average.
Two jobs, same street, different answers. In Exeter we've specified swapping tired late-90s upvc across a heavitree semi for a-rated anthracite casements on one side and refreshing white upvc to anthracite grey on a pinhoe estate house without the cost of full replacement on the other, because victorian terraces around st davids and 1930s semis in heavitree don't behave the same way in a city.
Word travels in a city. Most of our Exeter heritage replacement windows work now comes from previous customers in Pinhoe, Topsham and the EX1 streets around them, which keeps us honest about what we promise.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Exminster (3 mi south-east), Topsham (4 mi south-east), Cranbrook (6 mi east), Crediton (7 mi north-west), Chudleigh (8 mi south), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Exeter.
A typical run to Exeter threads Exminster → Topsham → Cranbrook → Crediton, so if you're on one of those routes we can often combine visits and price accordingly.

Exeter FAQs
Is grade ii listed windows a good fit for Exeter properties?
For most, yes. The city setting and victorian terraces around st davids and 1930s semis in heavitree here respond well to a heritage-sensitive replacement, particularly where draughty single-glazed timber sashes in the cathedral quarter conservation area has started to show on the south-east elevation.
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.
Is Exeter a long trip for a single window?
Not at all — Exeter is roughly 6 miles down the M5 (J29/J30), and we batch nearby jobs in Exminster and Topsham, so small jobs are still worth our while.
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.

Recap: heritage windows around Exeter
For period-property owners in Exeter, heritage replacement windows works best specified around the property and the city setting rather than a template. We survey in person, price in writing, and stand behind it for ten years.
The short version for Exeter: original 1990s upvc frames in heavitree and pinhoe yellowing in south-facing aspects is the usual trigger, a heritage-sensitive replacement is usually the answer, and Exeter City Council rarely objects when the detailing is right. We handle all three parts.
