Blandford Forum FAQs
Do you do much timber windows around DT11?
Constantly. Blandford Forum, Sturminster Newton and Wimborne form one of our busiest rounds, and timber windows is the bulk of it — typically triggered by georgian sashes losing weight ropes and rotting.
Do you supply true timber sashes for listed buildings?
Yes — we partner with traditional joiners for full timber installs where required.
Can you reuse existing weight ropes and pulleys?
Where structurally sound, yes. Often replacement ropes and brushpile is the safer bet.

Yes — owners of period and conservation-area homes who need work that respects original sightlines. The georgian market-town terraces and interwar semis we see most around Blandford Forum all get a tailored spec rather than an off-the-shelf one.
