What makes sash windows different in Great Torrington
Ask us what goes wrong on Great Torrington frames and the answer is specific: draughty timber casements in older stone cottages towards winkleigh. Ask what fixes it and the answer is equally specific — a sash replacement, specified for 1970s estate housing in the ex38 district around bideford rather than a catalogue average.
Two jobs, same street, different answers. In Great Torrington we've specified renewing draughty cottage casements near bideford with slim heritage-style units on one side and refreshing weathered frames on the the a386 side in a day or two on the other, because 1970s estate housing in the ex38 district around bideford and interwar semis on the the a386 edge roads don't behave the same way in a market town.
