How we approach timber in BA5
Local knowledge matters here. Wells's city streets and the wider BA5 district each throw up their own timber windows challenges — draughty old timber sashes in cathedral-area houses and modern upvc fitted in earlier decades looking out of place being the two we plan around first.
Every timber windows enquiry from Wells starts with the same question from us: what are the frames actually doing? For period-property owners, that answer usually points back to draughty old timber sashes in cathedral-area houses or modern upvc fitted in earlier decades looking out of place — and we spec accordingly.
Drive time from Cranbrook to Wells runs at about 46 miles via the A39, taking in Glastonbury (5 mi south-west) and Shepton Mallet (5 mi east) on the way. We use the same run for Street (7 mi south-west) jobs, which is why we can price small timber windows openings sensibly.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Glastonbury (5 mi south-west), Shepton Mallet (5 mi east), Street (7 mi south-west), Cheddar (7 mi north-west), Midsomer Norton (9 mi north-east), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Wells.
A typical run to Wells threads Glastonbury → Shepton Mallet → Street → Cheddar, so if you're on one of those routes we can often combine visits and price accordingly.
