Fitted furniture in Sherborne

Fitted Wardrobes in Sherborne rewards patience at the setting-out stage. 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. Locally you are contending with exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, so rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock is the fault we are called out to. What we concentrate on is using the full height so nothing is wasted above the rail.

We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.

Bear in mind for this area: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Sherborne are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Nothing in your house is square in Sherborne

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.

Sherborne questions

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.

Is the timber certified?

All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.

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.

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 fit, or supply only?

Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
