We spec casement windows for Gillingham the way we do for any market town in Dorset: openings, aspect, and what the neighbours are built from — here that's double-fronted merchant houses on the older gillingham streets around shaftesbury, former farm cottages on the gillingham fringes, converted maltings and workshop buildings off the market square towards wincanton — before a single frame is priced.
older double-fronted merchant houses on the older gillingham streets sit beside newer 1970s estate housing in the sp8 district here, so we move between heritage-sympathetic and modern work in the same week. That's the backdrop to every casement windows quote we produce for Gillingham, and it's why homeowners on newer estates whose first-generation frames are starting to date tends to be the household we're sitting down with.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Shaftesbury (4 mi south-east), Wincanton (6 mi west), Sturminster Newton (8 mi south), Castle Cary (11 mi west), Sherborne (12 mi south-west), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Gillingham.
