Contract joinery in Swanage

Half the Shopfitting Joinery problems we fix in Swanage started as a sizing assumption. 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. What accelerates it is exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, and rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock follows sooner than owners expect. This is really a job about retail and hospitality fit-out worked to a tight overnight programme.

Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. 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.

Swanage questions

Can you match an existing profile?

Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.

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.

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.

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.

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.
