What makes sash windows different in Wells
Every sash windows scope for Wells balances three things: the city setting, Somerset Council's planning notes (cathedral and vicars' close area is one of the most heritage-controlled in somerset.), and what period-property owners actually want to live with day-to-day. We write that into the quote, not just the invoice.
Sitting between Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet, Wells 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.
