Timber glazing upgrades in Bideford
Trickle Vents and Ventilation is one of those jobs in Bideford where the survey decides everything. Most of what we survey locally is cob and thatch, Regency seaside terraces and Dartmoor granite cottages, which is not built to any modern module. What accelerates it is the wettest large county in England with severe Atlantic exposure, and sustained rot in cob-embedded frames and moor-exposed openings follows sooner than owners expect. Where we put the effort is keeping background ventilation compliant once you seal a house up.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A detail specific to this area: cob walls move seasonally, so frames need tolerance built into the fixing detail.

Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”
Verified client, Devon“Half the cost of replacement and the rooms hold heat noticeably better.”
Verified client, Devon“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
