Timber doors in Dorchester
Most Timber Patio Doors enquiries we take in Dorchester start with an opening that is not a standard size. The housing here is largely Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, and that shapes what will actually fit. With exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load in the mix, rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock is a question of when rather than whether. This is really a job about lift-slide gear that stays smooth on a heavy timber panel.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Local factor worth flagging early: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Verified client, DorsetDorchester questions
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
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.
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.
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.
