Listed Building Joinery across County Durham
The hard part of Listed Building Joinery in County Durham is not the making, it is the measuring. The housing here is largely colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, and that shapes what will actually fit. 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.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Local factor worth flagging early: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover County Durham?
Yes. We cover the whole of County Durham including Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding villages. Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny. Because cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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.
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.
