Conservation joinery in Shildon
Timber Frame Repair in Shildon is rarely a catalogue job. Local property is overwhelmingly colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The exposure here is cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, which is exactly the condition that causes frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood. Where we put the effort is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Bear in mind for this area: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
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.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
