Conservation joinery in Blandford Forum
Sash Window Replication in Blandford Forum rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Because the area is mainly Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, no two openings measure quite the same. 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. What we concentrate on is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Something particular to this area: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Dorset“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Dorset“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
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.
