How does it work across County Durham?
In County Durham, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham. Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees have long high streets, while Durham has a historic centre that needs care.
What should you think about first?
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
How much will it cost?
