About Exmouth
Exmouth is Devon's oldest seaside resort, sitting at the mouth of the Exe estuary about 10 miles southeast of Exeter. It has a long seafront stretching south from the town centre, a substantial Victorian and Edwardian terrace stock close to the beach, and a broad sweep of post-war and more recent housing on the inland side of town - estates built from the 1960s through to the present day that now make up a significant portion of the town's housing.
The coastal position creates conditions that affect windows in a very specific way. Salt air carried on the prevailing southwest winds works into the edge seals of double-glazed units and degrades them faster than in an inland location. Seafront properties in Exmouth regularly see double glazing seal failure within 12 to 15 years rather than the 20-plus years that would be typical further inland. This produces the characteristic misting or condensation between the panes that tells you the sealed unit has failed. Wind also puts extra mechanical stress on hinges, handles and multipoint locking systems, particularly on west and south-facing elevations closest to the sea.
The Victorian terraces near the seafront often still have their original sash or early replacement windows, and many date from the 1990s or earlier double glazing era - which means they're now at or past replacement age. The 1960s and 70s estates inland have a different set of issues: many still have original or very early double glazed metal frames that are long overdue for replacement. We carry out a lot of work across the whole of Exmouth, from the seafront streets down to the newer estates, and we understand that the specification needs to reflect the exposure the property faces.

The Benefits Of New Windows In Exmouth
Replacing failed or ageing windows in an Exmouth property has practical benefits that go beyond the energy savings you'd see anywhere - the coastal environment makes the case for good glazing even stronger.
- New sealed units restore the thermal performance lost when coastal salt air degrades existing double glazing - immediately improving warmth and cutting heating bills
- uPVC and aluminium frames don't corrode or deteriorate in salt air, unlike timber frames that need regular maintenance to survive a coastal environment
- Heavier-duty locking and hinge systems on coastal elevations handle the extra wind loading that seafront properties in Exmouth experience year-round
- Wind noise reduction - a genuine quality-of-life improvement for seafront properties that can be exposed to strong south-westerlies
- New windows add value to Exmouth property - particularly Victorian seafront terraces where buyers expect modern double glazing to already be in place
Our Guarantee
Every window and door we install is backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee. That covers the fitting itself - how the frame sits in the opening, how it's sealed, how the hardware operates. If anything we've done causes a problem within ten years, we come back and fix it.
The glazing units themselves also carry a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against seal failure and condensation between the panes. Both guarantees are issued in writing on completion of the job, alongside your FENSA certificate. When you come to sell, your solicitor will ask for these documents - we make sure you have everything you need.
The guarantee only stands if the product is correctly installed. That's why we don't rush surveys, we don't cut corners on preparation, and we don't send crews who don't know what they're doing. The guarantee is only as good as the quality of the work behind it.

What Exmouth Customers Say
Genuine feedback from homeowners across Exeter and the surrounding area
"Had all eight windows replaced in our 1970s house in Heavitree. The team arrived on time, laid dust sheets throughout and were done in two days. Biggest difference is the warmth - no more draught across the living room floor in January. Really happy with the whole job."
Karen T. — Heavitree, Exeter
"I got three quotes. These were the only company who actually came out and measured properly before pricing - the others just asked for the number of windows and gave me a number over the phone. The price was competitive and the job was done cleanly. Would use again without hesitation."
Mark R. — Topsham
"Secondary glazing fitted throughout our listed cottage near the Cathedral Close. They knew the planning restrictions before I'd even finished explaining and recommended exactly the right product. The noise reduction from the road is noticeable immediately. Brilliant from start to finish."
Sarah M. — St Leonard's, Exeter
"Composite front door replaced after the old one warped and stopped sealing properly. The new door is solid, the fitting is neat and they took the old door away. Got our FENSA certificate in the post a few days later. Exactly what you want - no fuss, job done."
David H. — Pinhoe, Exeter
"Bi-fold doors fitted to the rear of our extension in St Thomas. The difference to the kitchen is incredible - it feels like a completely different room when they're open onto the garden. The team were tidy, professional and explained everything clearly throughout. Top marks."
Claire W. — St Thomas, Exeter
What To Do In Exmouth
Exmouth has a lot more going on than most coastal towns of its size - a proper beach, some good National Trust sites nearby and enough to fill a half-day if you're coming for a survey.
Exmouth Beach
Two miles of sandy beach stretching south from the town, one of the longest in Devon. Good for walking year-round and popular with water sports in summer - kite surfing in particular, given the open exposure to the prevailing wind.

A La Ronde
A remarkable 16-sided house built in 1796, now in the care of the National Trust, sitting on a hill north of Exmouth with good views over the estuary. The interior is unusual - particularly the shell-encrusted gallery at the top - and worth a visit if you're in the area.

World of Country Life
A family attraction just outside Exmouth combining a safari train, deer park, vintage farming exhibits and indoor soft play. Runs through the warmer months and is well set up for a day out with children.

Window Installation Costs In Exmouth
uPVC casement windows for an Exmouth property typically start from around £400-£600 per window fitted, depending on size and configuration. Aluminium frames cost more but are worth considering for seafront elevations given their durability in a coastal environment. Composite front doors generally start from around £900-£1,400 including fitting.
If you have misted units in otherwise sound frames, we can often replace just the glass unit - which is significantly cheaper than a full frame replacement. We'll advise on the most cost-effective approach at the survey stage.

Why do windows fail faster in Exmouth than inland properties?
Salt air degrades the edge seals on double-glazed units faster than in an inland location. Seafront properties in Exmouth regularly see seal failure within 12-15 years. Wind also puts extra mechanical stress on hinges and locking systems on exposed elevations.
What frame materials are best for Exmouth's coastal properties?
uPVC or aluminium rather than timber. Both handle salt air well with minimal maintenance. Timber needs regular treatment to survive in a coastal environment and will deteriorate much faster if maintenance slips.
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Exmouth?
Most like-for-like window replacements don't require planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings and conservation area properties. If you're uncertain, we'll check during the free survey and advise accordingly.
Can you just replace the glass unit without changing the whole frame?
Yes, where the frames are still structurally sound. If the misting is caused by seal failure rather than frame deterioration, replacing just the glazed unit is cheaper and faster. We'll assess this at the survey and recommend whichever approach makes more sense.
