Conservation joinery in Portland
People come to us about Paint Analysis and Matching in Portland once the cheap option has already failed. With Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. 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 you are paying for is matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One local point to factor in: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“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.”
Verified client, DorsetPortland questions
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
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.
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.
