Trickle Vents and Ventilation across Dorset
The Trickle Vents and Ventilation we make for Dorset is set out from a survey, not a size chart. With Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load is the local complication, and rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock is what it eventually causes. Everything we do here comes back to keeping background ventilation compliant once you seal a house up.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Local factor worth flagging early: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Dorset?
Yes. We cover the whole of Dorset including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Dorchester and the surrounding villages. Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade. Because exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
