What we see in Tyne and Wear
If Architectural Joinery in Tyne and Wear were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. You are mostly dealing with Tyneside flats, Georgian Grainger Town frontages and coastal terraces around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Because of cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, we see wind-driven rain penetration and rapid coating loss on seaward elevations more often here than in most of the country. The part that matters is one-off items worked from a drawing set rather than a catalogue.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly.

Verified client, Tyne and WearTyne and Wear questions
Do you cover Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We cover the whole of Tyne and Wear including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields and the surrounding villages. Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly. Because cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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 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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
