Services
Kitchen installations
We design and install custom kitchens tailored to lifestyle needs. Our service includes layout planning, unit installation, worktop fitting, and complete tiling. All plumbing and electrical connections are managed in-house for seamless integration. Clients benefit from our 15-year warranty on structural components and lifetime maintenance advice.
Bathroom refits
Our bathroom installations combine functionality with modern aesthetics. We handle complete refurbishments including waterproofing, tiling, and plumbing. Bespoke storage solutions maximise space efficiency while energy-efficient fixtures reduce running costs. All electrical work complies with Part P regulations for safety and compliance.
Building renovations
From single-room remodelling to full property transformations, our renovations maintain structural integrity while enhancing usability. We manage planning permissions, listed building requirements, and heritage considerations across domestic and commercial properties in historic Durham locations.
Bespoke joinery
Handcrafted storage solutions and architectural woodwork created to exact measurements. Using sustainably sourced timber, we produce fitted wardrobes, bookcases, and under-stair storage that integrates seamlessly with existing structures while improving functionality.
Roof repairs
Emergency and scheduled roof repairs for all property types. We replace slates, repair flat roof membranes, and install ice melt systems. Fascia, soffit, and gutter replacements use uPVC and aluminium systems with 10-year material guarantees against deterioration.
