Conservation joinery in Durham
Getting Listed Building Joinery right in Durham depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local property is overwhelmingly colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. cold upland winters with heavy rainfall is the local complication, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood is what it eventually causes. Everything we do here comes back to replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A local consideration we always raise: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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.
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.
