Salcombe FAQs
How does window replacements compare with the alternatives in Salcombe?
Against a patch repair, a full replacement lasts. Against the other route — recolouring tired frames on a clifftop bungalow towards totnes without a full rip-out — it depends entirely on whether your seals have failed. We'll tell you which applies before quoting.
How long do sprayed frames last by the sea?
Properly prepared and coated frames in Salcombe hold their finish for years; the salt mainly attacks neglected hardware, which we service or replace at the same time.
Do harbour conservation rules affect my windows?
On the older Salcombe quay streets they can. South Hams District Council holds the detail, and we'll advise on a likely-acceptable spec before you commit.
