Overview
Weymouth and Portland is a serious sailing area with an Olympic legacy venue attached, and the boat count over winter reflects it. Portland Marina in particular holds a lot of craft ashore.
Portland Port brings the other side of it: commercial and industrial containment on a working port with plenty of exposed steel and plant.
Local focus
Marine first — dinghies, keelboats and cruisers at Portland Marina and Osprey Quay, plus cruisers in Weymouth Marina and the inner harbour. Portland is genuinely exposed, so covers there get specified up. Portland Port adds industrial work: plant and equipment standing on the quay through winter where salt air does the damage long before anything mechanical fails.

Getting to you
Along from Poole, and a run we make regularly through the lay-up season.
We cover DT3 to DT5 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across Weymouth Harbour, Weymouth Marina, Portland Marina, Portland Port and the Osprey Quay sailing centre. 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 Weymouth 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.
Weymouth · DT3 to DT5
Illustrative figures. Your Weymouth 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 Weymouth work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Weymouth rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice.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 Weymouth enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Weymouth 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 Weymouth postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Weymouth is part of our regular coverage and boat shrink wrapping is the work we do most of there. Along from Poole, and a run we make regularly through the lay-up season.
There is no Weymouth 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.
Yes. Portland Marina and the Osprey Quay hard standing take weather that a sheltered inner-harbour berth never sees, so we specify a heavier gauge and pay closer attention to the frame and base skirt.
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 Weymouth, 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.
