Contract joinery in Lyme Regis
Most Architectural Joinery enquiries we take in Lyme Regis start with an opening that is not a standard size. Given the Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. The weather does the rest: exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load here, and rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock as the predictable result. What you are paying for is one-off items worked from a drawing set rather than a catalogue.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One thing that catches people out here: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Verified client, DorsetLyme Regis questions
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
