Dorset Council area heritage replacement windows, fitted by our own team. Wool surveys usually inside a week.
How we approach heritage windows in BH20
Winter exposure in BH20 is the honest test. Wool frames facing the east aspect toward Wareham weather hardest, so that's where our heritage replacement windows survey starts and where the spec is most conservative.
Cranbrook to Wool is about 52 miles via the A352, passing Wareham and Dorchester on the way. The same run serves Poole, which is exactly why small heritage replacement windows openings still price sensibly here.
Ask us what goes wrong on Wool frames and the answer is specific: mismatched frames left by decades of piecemeal repairs in wool. Ask what fixes it and the answer is equally specific — a heritage-sensitive replacement, specified for stone-and-slate homes typical of this part of dorset around wareham rather than a catalogue average.
Wool homeowners tend to ring us after a winter of condensation around ageing timber casements in dorset cottages. By then the frames have told their own story, and a heritage-sensitive replacement is usually the cheapest route back to a warm, quiet room.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Wareham (5 mi east), Dorchester (10 mi west), Poole (10 mi east), Weymouth (11 mi south-west), Corfe Mullen (11 mi north-east), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Wool.
A typical run to Wool threads Wareham → Dorchester → Poole → Weymouth, so if you're on one of those routes we can often combine visits and price accordingly.
Prevailing south-westerlies reaching Wool from the east carry salt onto exposed elevations, pitting cheap ironmongery inside two winters. On stone-and-slate homes typical of this part of dorset around wareham we swap in 316-grade stainless hinges, gaskets rated for UV and brine, and coatings tested to BS EN 1670 class 5 — the same spec we use 5 miles away in Wareham.
We finish frames on site in any RAL, F&B or Dulux colour, matching neighbouring Wool properties where a whole-terrace look matters. Booth-grade prep on a BH20 driveway, cured within a working day.

Wool FAQs
How does grade ii listed windows compare with the alternatives in Wool?
Against a patch repair, a heritage-sensitive replacement lasts. Against the other route — refreshing weathered frames on the the a352 side in the bh20 district — it depends entirely on whether your seals have failed. We'll tell you which applies before quoting.
Can you match a barn-conversion or heritage colour?
We can spray or supply in any RAL shade, so matching an existing palette on a Wool conversion is straightforward.
Is access an issue on narrow lanes?
Rarely — we plan access off the the A352 in advance so vans and equipment reach Wool properties without fuss.
What causes most window problems in Wool?
Mismatched frames left by decades of piecemeal repairs in wool, followed by condensation around ageing timber casements in dorset cottages. Both are common on stone-and-slate homes typical of this part of dorset around wareham and both are fixable — the question is only which route is better value.
Do you handle village fringe properties like those in Wool?
Yes — bungalow and downsizer households wanting low-maintenance, draught-free frames. The stone-and-slate homes typical of this part of dorset around wareham and modern village-edge family homes in wool we see most around Wool all get a tailored spec rather than an off-the-shelf one.
How quickly can you get to Wool if something needs adjusting?
52 miles via the A352, so a return visit is half a morning. We usually pair it with whatever else we have on between Wareham and Poole.
"So pleased we called them out to BH20 — quicker than expected and a real lift to the front of the house."
Need full replacements in Wool?
