Sash Windows from 26 miles down the A361
Ask us what goes wrong on South Molton frames and the answer is specific: worn hardware on rarely-serviced rural windows. Ask what fixes it and the answer is equally specific — a sash replacement, specified for stone-and-slate homes typical of this part of devon around barnstaple rather than a catalogue average.
Two jobs, same street, different answers. In South Molton we've specified replacing tired frames on a smallholding farmhouses off the the a361 with a-rated units matched to the street on one side and recolouring a south molton village cottage's windows without disturbing the render on the other, because stone-and-slate homes typical of this part of devon around barnstaple and smallholding farmhouses off the the a361 don't behave the same way in a market town.
the A361 is the artery for this patch. It connects South Molton to Barnstaple, Great Torrington and our Cranbrook workshop 26 miles away, which keeps lead times on sash windows short and delivery days flexible.
Most South Molton sash windows enquiries begin with worn hardware on rarely-serviced rural windows. That's routine for us, and a short run down the A361 from Great Torrington means quick visits and tidy turnarounds for Barnstaple and Tiverton addresses too.
