Arched Double Doors
Fitted these fantastic Accoya double doors and frame in Gosforth recently. The doors are 57mm thick and have a heritage multipoint locking mechanism, working from the euro profile cylinder. Double glazed fanlight with numbers hand painted on.
New porch in Gosforth
A beautiful porch finished this week in Gosforth. Made from Accoya to match the existing porch that was beyond repair. New slate roof with lead flashings and a lead covering to the small canopy over the door. All ready for a lick of paint.
New Front Door

Mobile Phone Problems
Sorry if you have been trying to call my mobile over the last few days. There is an issue with a local mast in the Gosforth area resulting in very poor signal. You can always call my landline and leave a message and I’ll call you back. Hopefully the boffins a Vodafone can get it […]
Victorian Staircase Repair
A tricky job this week repairing a Victorian staircase that had been butchered. New ends on the treads, new brackets and new spindles. Also new nosings along the landing. managed to tighten the existing handrail and bold the newel up from the floor to stiffen it up. Looks a lot better.
Happy Christmas Everyone
Well that’s the last job finished today, tools packed up and put away until next year. Happy Christmas to all my customers and suppliers and I look forward to working with you all next year. Best wishes, Stephen
New Van
Here’s the new van with the logo on, a great job by Hooper Signs. The old van was beyond economic repair so I had to get a newer one. The old one lasted 16 years so lets hope this one does as well. Give me a wave if you spot me out and about.
Beautiful Victoria porches
Beautiful Victoria porches built in Gosforth. They are an exact match for the old ones that were rotten and collapsing. New brick piers were built re-using the existing sandstone capping’s. The main porch is made from Accoya and will get a slate roof with a lead valley and stepped flashings.
