Bournemouth's own mix of homes
From Westbourne's villas to Southbourne's seafront flats, we know the difference.
Westbourne & Talbot Woods villa
Prone toOriginal timber sashes that have swollen, rotted or been painted shut in these conservation-heavy streets.
How we treat itWe'll talk you through what the conservation area allows before you commit.
Charminster & Winton terrace
Prone toAgeing PVC or timber frames from the last major refit, now draughty and hard to open.
How we treat itA straightforward like-for-like swap, matched to the terrace.
Southbourne seafront flat
Prone toOpen-Channel wind and salt spray wearing down hardware faster than an inland property.
How we treat itWe'll spec the hardware for the exposure, not just the look.
Not sure which one's yours? Tell us roughly what you've got and we'll point you the right way.
Yes, we genuinely cover Bournemouth
We're based in Poole, just 7.4km from Bournemouth, close enough that there's no cross-town premium added to your job.
We've been fitting windows and doors across Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset for over 10 years, so Bournemouth isn't a page we've bolted on. It's a town we've worked in for a decade.
The standard we fit to
A look at the standard of finish we bring to every Bournemouth job.
These images show our general standard of finish, not a job we've completed in Bournemouth itself. We'll swap in real Bournemouth photos once we've got them.
The right material for your kind of Bournemouth home
A Westbourne or Talbot Woods villa usually suits a timber-look flush window best, keeping the period look with modern performance. An exposed clifftop flat does better in aluminium, which handles the salt air better than most. For general Charminster or Winton stock, uPVC does the job without the extra cost.
- Period villa → timber-look flush
- Clifftop apartment → aluminium
- General estate stock → uPVC
What Bournemouth's conditions do to windows here
Three things worth knowing before you get a quote.
Period-property joinery
Original sashes in Westbourne or Talbot Woods that have swollen, rotted or been painted shut over the decades.
Seafront corrosion
Wind-driven salt spray off the open Channel wearing down unprotected hardware near the coast.
Narrow-street access
Parking and access on a tight Charminster or Winton terrace that needs planning for on the day.
Will the council let you fit these?
Conservation area consent was abolished back in 2013, so replacing windows now goes through ordinary planning permission, and like-for-like replacement is often permitted development. An Article 4 direction can remove that right in a specific area, and Bournemouth has real ones, including the Westbourne Conservation Area and the Meyrick Park and Talbot Woods Conservation Area. What actually gets assessed is the window's appearance, not the material, but it's always the council's call, not ours, so we'll flag it at survey rather than guess.
- Like-for-like is often permitted development
- An Article 4 direction can remove that right locally
- Westbourne and Meyrick Park & Talbot Woods are both designated areas
How it works, start to finish
The same process for every Bournemouth job.
The survey
Josh comes out to every Bournemouth job in person, taking his own measurements and a set of colour swatches with him.
The quote
We send your measurements over to the supplier, then come back with a clear, fixed price.
The fit
It's 50% deposit to get started, a 3 to 5 week lead time, then the remaining 50% once it's fitted.
The bits people worry about
Is this actually a local outfit, or Poole with the name swapped?
We're honest about it. We're Poole-based, 7.4km away, and we've worked in Bournemouth for over 10 years.
Will the planners say no?
We can't promise an approval, but we'll flag any conservation-area question at survey, not after.
Can I trust a company I've never heard of, in a market with some bad ones?
We're Assure certified, Google Guaranteed, and every quote is fixed before you commit.

Do you actually cover Bournemouth, or is this a Poole company padding out area pages?
We're honest that we're based in Poole, 7.4km away, but we've fitted windows and doors across Bournemouth for over 10 years. It's not a bolted-on page.
Will the council let me replace windows if my home is in a conservation area?
Often yes, under permitted development, but Bournemouth has areas like Westbourne and Meyrick Park & Talbot Woods where an Article 4 direction can change that. We'll check at survey.
How much does double glazing cost in Bournemouth, or for a typical 3-bed semi?
It depends on the size of the job and material, so we don't publish a set price. You'll get a clear, fixed quote once we've surveyed it.
How do I pick a company I can trust, in a market with a lot of options?
Look for a fixed price, a proper insurance-backed guarantee, and reviews you can check. We're Assure certified with a 5.0★ Google rating from 25 reviews.
Is it worth replacing 20+ year old double glazing?
Usually. Older units lose their seal and their thermal performance drops well below what a modern window achieves, so most homeowners notice the difference straight away.
What happens after I request a quote? How fast can you get to Bournemouth?
Josh calls to understand what you need, then comes out to survey and measure it himself before sending a fixed quote.
