The houses in Bideford
Bideford runs up the hill from the Torridge, and that hill is why our work here looks different from Barnstaple. On the streets climbing away from the quay the front door often sits above the pavement, so the steps outside the house are the first problem to solve, not the stairs inside it. Weather off the estuary is hard on outside steps, handrails and paths.
The work we take on here
Every one of these is arranged and managed by us, and inspected before it is signed off.
Outside handrails and steps
Where the approach to the front door is the hardest part of the journey. Fixed into something solid, and specified to last more than a couple of winters.
Levelled thresholds
A raised step into the house is easy to catch a foot on, and it is usually a straightforward job to put right.
Lighting on the path
A light that comes on by itself between the gate and the door, so nobody is finding a keyhole in the dark.
Paths kept safe
Moss on a slab in November is as slippery as ice. Clearing paths is part of the everyday help we arrange, not an afterthought.
Villages we cover around Bideford
Northam, Appledore, Westward Ho!, Instow, Abbotsham, Littleham and the villages along the Torridge.
