Fitted furniture in Portland
The hard part of Kitchen Joinery in Portland is not the making, it is the measuring. The building stock is Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. The exposure here is exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, which is exactly the condition that causes rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock. Everything we do here comes back to in-frame doors where the shadow gap has to stay even everywhere.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Something particular to this area: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.
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.
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.
We finish off site
Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.
What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The alcoves were nearly 40mm out top to bottom and you genuinely cannot tell.”
Verified client, Dorset“Finish is better than anything we have had sprayed on site, and it has stayed that way.”
Verified client, Dorset“They redesigned the internal layout after asking how we actually store things.”
Verified client, DorsetPortland questions
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
