Shopfront repairs in Chester-le-Street
Before booking a repair to a rented unit in Chester-le-Street or elsewhere in County Durham, check your lease, since it may make the landlord responsible for the frontage.

Landlords with units in Chester-le-Street and across County Durham can use one contractor for frames, glass, doors, locks and signs rather than booking separate trades. Repairs in Chester-le-Street can be arranged out of hours, overnight or at a weekend, so shops anywhere in County Durham can keep trading while the work is done.
Work in Chester-le-Street is run from Birmingham, roughly 161 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover DH2 and the surrounding streets, along with Washington, Stanley and Durham.

What does it cost in Chester-le-Street?
A shopfront repair usually costs £125 to £995 ex VAT for most single repairs. Send photos first, because many jobs can be priced from them. Where a fault cannot be priced that way, we book a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, and you hear that cost before we come out. Parts, access and out-of-hours work can move the figure, so we confirm the repair price before starting.
If part of your Chester-le-Street shopfront has stopped working, send us photos first and we will tell you whether it can be priced without a visit. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Chester-le-Street site clean.
Common questions
Do you work in DH2?
Yes. Chester-le-Street and the DH2 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer. Whether a claim is paid is the insurer's decision, and we cannot promise an outcome. Speak to them before work starts if they need to approve the repair or send an assessor.
Can my shopfront be repaired or does it need replacing?
Many faults can be repaired without replacing the frontage, provided the frame is sound. If corrosion, rot or repeated damage means a repair would not last, we will say so. A refurbishment or a new shopfront is then priced as a separate job.
What do I do if my shop in Chester-le-Street is broken into?
Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
