Exeter Sash Window Replacements
Serving Exeter and the Exminster / Topsham area via the M5 (J29/J30). Free written quotes, no pressure.
Why Exeter homes choose sash windows
Sitting between Exminster and Cranbrook, Exeter keeps us busy with owners of period and conservation-area homes who need work that respects original sightlines. We bring the right sash windows spec for a city rather than a one-size template.
Most Exeter sash windows enquiries we get involve original 1990s upvc frames in heavitree and pinhoe yellowing in south-facing aspects. That's bread-and-butter for us, and being a short hop down the M5 (J29/J30) from Topsham means quick visits and tidy turnarounds.

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.
