Galle carpenters work between heritage restoration inside the Fort, where original doors, windows and shutters need repair rather than replacement, and modern villa fit-outs across the district.

What to expect

  • Professionals familiar with both the Fort conservation rules and the wider Galle district
  • Measurements taken on site rather than from a drawing
  • The material named in writing: aluminium, melamine, plywood or solid timber
  • Hardware specified, since hinges and channels decide how long it lasts

Helpful tips

In a Fort property, get old joinery assessed for repair before agreeing to replace it. Original doors, shutters and window frames are often repairable, replacement may be restricted, and the original timber is usually better than what is available today.

Repaired wherever the timber is sound. Alterations to historic fabric are restricted inside the Fort, and the original timber is generally denser and more durable than modern equivalents. Get an honest assessment before deciding.
