How we approach upvc in EX38

Every Great Torrington uPVC windows enquiry gets the same first question from us: what are the frames actually doing? For estate homeowners here the answer usually lands on draughty timber casements in older stone cottages towards winkleigh or chalky, sun-bleached upvc on south-facing homes around bideford — and the spec follows from that, not the other way round.
you'll find plenty of interwar semis on the the a386 edge roads around great torrington, alongside 1970s estate housing in the ex38 district on the older streets. That's the backdrop to every uPVC windows quote we produce for Great Torrington, and it's why homeowners on newer estates whose first-generation frames are starting to date tends to be the household we're sitting down with.
