Overview
Bournemouth work splits between the boats at Christchurch and Mudeford and the refurbishment scaffolds along the clifftop, where anything facing the sea takes a hammering through winter.
The seafront hotel and apartment stock is constantly under refurbishment, and it is exactly the kind of exposed elevation where sheeting fails and welded film does not.
Local focus
A genuine split. On the water it is smaller craft at Christchurch and Mudeford Quay going into winter storage. On land it is clifftop and seafront scaffolds — hotels, apartment blocks and the render and window work that comes with them. Those elevations face straight into the prevailing wind off the Channel, which is where a flapping sheet becomes a complaint and then a call-out.

Getting to you
Next to Poole and covered on the same runs. Survey inside 48 hours.
We cover BH1 to BH11 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across Christchurch Harbour, Mudeford Quay, the Bournemouth seafront and Boscombe. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Bournemouth job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.

Illustrative figures. Your Bournemouth survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Bournemouth work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Bournemouth rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Bournemouth enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Bournemouth job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.
Whole item in frame, plus one close-up of the access side.
WhatsApp or email, with the Bournemouth postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Bournemouth is part of our regular coverage and boat shrink wrapping is the work we do most of there. Next to Poole and covered on the same runs. Survey inside 48 hours.
There is no Bournemouth rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
Clifftop and seafront elevations at Bournemouth face straight into the prevailing wind off the Channel. Sheeting flaps, works its ties loose and generates complaints from residents. A welded skin under tension has nothing for the wind to get under.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Marine shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Bournemouth, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
