Contract joinery in Seaham
Most Site Measured Surveys enquiries we take in Seaham start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local stock is dominated by colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. cold upland winters with heavy rainfall sets the pace of decay, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood is how it shows up first. What we concentrate on is recording the building as built rather than as drawn.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One thing that catches people out here: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
