Working in Silverton
Silverton is a village in Mid Devon, north of Exeter, and it's within our regular working area. We work across the village and the surrounding countryside.
The heart of Silverton has traditional cottages, including cob and thatched properties, and much of the historic centre is a conservation area. Around it are post-war homes and newer houses, and the surrounding farmland has farmhouses and converted barns.
Homeowners in Silverton often ask us for carpentry that suits older properties, kitchen and bathroom refits, garden rooms for home working, and extensions that add family space.
Being close to Exeter, Silverton is straightforward for site visits and ongoing work.

Local knowledge
Common issues in Silverton homes
Silverton's traditional buildings and rural setting bring particular needs.
Cob and thatched cottages
Cob walls need breathable materials so moisture can escape. Using modern, non-breathable products in the wrong place can cause damp problems in the walls.
The conservation area
Much of the village centre is a conservation area, and some buildings are listed. Check with Mid Devon District Council about consents before planning external changes.
Low ceilings and uneven floors
Older cottages rarely have level floors or square walls. Carpentry, doors and fitted furniture have to be made to suit.
Rural outbuildings
Farmhouses and rural properties often have outbuildings, roofs and garden spaces that need repair or making usable.
Home working
With more people working from home, garden rooms and fitted home offices are common requests in the village.
Our process
How a job in Silverton runs.
- Step 1
Site visit
Jake comes out, sees the job in person and talks through what you want, what's possible and anything that could affect the work.
- Step 2
Individual quote
Every job is different, so it's priced individually. Access, location and the layout and contents of your home all play a part, so you get an accurate quote rather than a guess.
- Step 3
Deposit and booking
A deposit secures your booking. The amount depends on the size and scale of the job.
- Step 4
The work
Our small team carries out the work, coordinating any trusted trades needed. Longer jobs use stage payments as the work progresses.
- Step 5
Completion and guarantee
We finish, check the work with you and hand over. Invoices are sent online and paid by bank transfer, and all our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Getting started
Starting your Silverton project.
Getting started on a project in Silverton is simple. Call Jake on 07487 872620, email enquiries@jckcarpentryandbuilding.co.uk or fill in the enquiry form. Tell us roughly what you have in mind, whether it's a single job such as new internal doors or a larger project such as an extension or loft conversion.
Jake will then arrange to visit your Silverton home. The site visit is where he sees the job in person, checks access, measures up and talks through what's possible. It's also your chance to ask questions and get a feel for who you'd be working with. Because every home is different, this is how we make sure the price you get is accurate.
After the visit you'll receive an individual quote. If you're happy, a deposit secures your booking, and larger projects are paid in stages as the work progresses. All invoices are sent online and paid by bank transfer, so there's a clear record at every step.
As well as Silverton, we work regularly in Exeter, Cullompton, Crediton, Tiverton and across the rest of our Devon coverage, so if you have family or a second property nearby, we can help there too.
