What we see in Dorset

Half the Fitted Wardrobes problems we fix in Dorset started as a sizing assumption. You are mostly dealing with Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Because of exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, we see rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock more often here than in most of the country. Where we put the effort is using the full height so nothing is wasted above the rail.

We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.

Worth knowing locally: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Nothing in your house is square in Dorset

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.

01

We scribe to the wall

Every panel is cut to the actual line of the plaster, so there is no tapering gap running down the side of the unit.

02

We measure at three heights

Alcoves are routinely 20 to 40mm wider at the bottom than the top. One measurement is how you end up packing the gap out.

03

We finish off site

Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.

“The alcoves were nearly 40mm out top to bottom and you genuinely cannot tell.”

“Finish is better than anything we have had sprayed on site, and it has stayed that way.”

Dorset questions

Do you cover Dorset?

Yes. We cover the whole of Dorset including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Dorchester and the surrounding villages. Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade. Because exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.

Do you take a deposit?

Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.

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.

Do you deliver nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.

What if the opening is out of square?

Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.

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.
