What Torridge District Council rules mean for timber here
A timber windows project in Great Torrington normally starts with a site visit inside a week. Our EX38 rounds already take in Bideford (5 mi north-west), Northam (7 mi north-west), Barnstaple (10 mi north), so measuring, photographing and quoting costs you no waiting.
Our Great Torrington timber windows work centres on 1970s estate housing in the ex38 district around bideford, plus the outlying pockets at Winkleigh and Bideford. Being only 5 miles from Bideford means we survey quickly, and the A386 keeps access simple for estate homeowners.
Great Torrington's housing map runs from 1970s estate housing in the ex38 district around bideford through to victorian villas near the great torrington centre, so no two timber windows jobs match. We quote on measured openings, never a phone-in average.
Access shapes cost. Terraced frontages in Great Torrington, tight lanes around Bideford, and open plots out towards Barnstaple all change how we stage a timber installation — and we say so in the quote rather than discovering it on the day.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Bideford (5 mi north-west), Northam (7 mi north-west), Barnstaple (10 mi north), Braunton (11 mi north), Holsworthy (13 mi south-west), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Great Torrington.
A typical run to Great Torrington threads Bideford → Northam → Barnstaple → Braunton, so if you're on one of those routes we can often combine visits and price accordingly.
Adjustments settle in the first few months as frames bed. We diary a check for Great Torrington jobs, combining it with whatever else we have on between Bideford and Barnstaple so it costs you nothing.
Cob, cob-and-thatch and rendered stone near Great Torrington and out toward Holsworthy need frames proud of the reveal, not flush. We reset the outer cill and drip detail so the wall sheds water the way it was built to — the detail that stops long-term staining.
