Contract joinery in Chester-le-Street
We take a fair volume of Contract Joinery Packages work across Chester-le-Street, and almost none of it repeats. Most of what we survey locally is colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, which is not built to any modern module. Add cold upland winters with heavy rainfall to that and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood becomes the usual trigger for replacement. The detail we will not compromise on is packages priced against a bill and delivered to the date on the programme.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
A detail specific to this area: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
