Builders and joiners in Sauntonfor homes above the sands.

If your Saunton home faces the bay, think about weather first. Wind-driven rain and salt air test every joint, so roofing, glazing and external timber must be properly detailed before any interior improvements.

For extensions that open towards the view, plan structure and glazing together. Large openings in exposed elevations need proper structural support and careful weatherproofing, and the building and joinery work is designed as one.

Consider the slope and access. Many homes sit above the road on sloping plots, which affects foundations, scaffolding and how materials are delivered. These are covered at the site visit.

Check planning early. Saunton is in a sensitive coastal landscape, and some projects need planning permission. Liveliwood Co can assist with or fully manage planning and Building Control.

For garden rooms, choose a position that offers shelter as well as a view. The building is designed to be insulated and weather-tight, so it can be used through the year.

Saunton homes are few in number but often substantial, and owners usually want work that matches the quality of the setting. Joinery made to measure, carefully detailed extensions and durable materials all contribute to a building that looks right and lasts.

Every Saunton project is priced as a fixed quote after a free site visit. Larger jobs run on a formal contract with a deposit and stage payments, and the work is backed by a 5-year workmanship guarantee and £2M public liability insurance.
