Hardwood windows in Dorset
Bespoke timber windows and doors, surveyed, made and installed across Dorset — Dorchester, Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Sherborne and everywhere between.
We treat hardwood windows in Dorset as joinery rather than a product line. That means real sections, real ironmongery and a finish specified for the exposure the building actually gets.
We build timber joinery for Dorset homes to the size of the hole in the wall, not to the nearest standard unit. That is the whole reason to specify timber in the first place.
What we bring to a Dorset project
- Micro-porous finishes that let the timber breathe rather than trapping moisture behind a hard film.
- FSC-certified hardwood with documented chain of custody, available on request for planning submissions.
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
- Warm-edge spacer bars as standard, which cut the cold bridge at the glass edge and reduce condensation.
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
Guide prices in Dorset
Prices below are supplied-and-fitted including VAT, for a typical domestic unit in Idigbo with double glazing and a factory-painted finish. Oak, Accoya, triple glazing and larger openings move the figure up; ordering several units at once brings it down.

Everything is made to order, so the quotation stage matters. We would rather spend an extra hour on the survey than get a section wrong.

Questions from Dorset homeowners
How long do hardwood windows actually last?
Properly specified and maintained hardwood joinery has a realistic service life of 60 years or more. The timber is rarely what fails — it is the finish and the seals, and both are renewable. That is the fundamental advantage over uPVC, where a failed unit or a distorted frame means the whole window goes.
Are timber windows warm enough for Building Regulations?
Yes, comfortably. Timber is a natural insulator with far lower conductivity than aluminium or steel. A standard hardwood double-glazed window achieves around 1.2–1.4 W/m²K whole-window, against a 1.4 requirement for replacements. Triple glazing in a deeper section will reach roughly 0.8.
Can I have double glazing in a conservation area?
Usually, yes — using slim-profile sealed units as narrow as 11mm, which fit within traditional glazing bar sections without fattening them. Conservation officers vary, so we specify from the outset to whatever the local authority has stated and provide section drawings for the application.
Do you repair windows or only replace them?
We repair wherever repair is the right answer. Rot is normally localised in a cill or the bottom of a stile, and splicing in new hardwood is typically a third of the cost of replacement. We will tell you honestly at survey which way the economics fall.
Can you match existing windows?
Yes. That is most of what we do. We record the existing sections at survey, reproduce the mouldings and sightlines, and match the finish. On listed buildings we will produce like-for-like profile drawings for the consent application.
