What that means if you are ordering from Dorchester
Channel exposure with real salt loading along the coast. What tends to go first around here: Salt corrosion of hardware and finish degradation on south-facing coastal elevations
Order to the structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill — measured in three places, using the smallest figure. Do not deduct a fitting tolerance yourself; that happens at our end. The full measuring method.
On a supply-only order you notify building control yourself and pay their fee. There is no FENSA or CERTASS certificate because no registered installer was involved — what that means when you sell the house. Marine-grade specification is the norm on the coastal strip.
What we deliver to Dorchester
Delivery to Dorchester — questions
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in Dorset?
Salt corrosion of hardware and finish degradation on south-facing coastal elevations. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
Can I get a price without giving you my details?
Prices are published on the product pages with an inc and ex VAT switch. For your exact sizes we need to price it, but you can see the range before you speak to anyone.
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to Dorchester take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 2–3 working days once made for the run to Dorchester. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
