Trickle Vents and Ventilation across Somerset
There is no standard version of Trickle Vents and Ventilation in Somerset, which is rather the point. Most of what we survey locally is Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock, which is not built to any modern module. What accelerates it is very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, and prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding follows sooner than owners expect. Our focus on this is keeping background ventilation compliant once you seal a house up.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Something particular to this area: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Somerset?
Yes. We cover the whole of Somerset including Bath, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and the surrounding villages. Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny. Because very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
