Misted Unit Replacement across County Durham
People come to us about Misted Unit Replacement in County Durham once the cheap option has already failed. Property here runs to colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The other factor is cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, which is why frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood is the most common reason people call us. The value is in swapping the failed unit rather than selling you a whole window, not in the timber bill.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One local point to factor in: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover County Durham?
Yes. We cover the whole of County Durham including Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding villages. Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny. Because cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, 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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
