Conservation joinery in Chester-le-Street
Ask three firms about Sash Window Replication in Chester-le-Street and you will get three different answers. The housing here is largely colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, and that shapes what will actually fit. Add cold upland winters with heavy rainfall to that and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood becomes the usual trigger for replacement. Where we put the effort is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Something particular to this area: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
