Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

Dmitry

Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

Etheridge Windows was established in 2019 with one goal in mind – to make homes look and feel better with quality windows and doors, fitted by people you can trust. From day one, we’ve believed that choosing new windows or doors shouldn’t be stressful. Instead, it should be an easy process with clear advice, fair prices, and a friendly team to guide you through every step. We started out in a small upstairs office above Cheers in Stanley, before moving to Beamish Street as our business began to grow. It wasn’t long before we outgrew that premises too, and today you’ll find us proudly based on Front Street in Stanley – right at the heart of our community. What began as a small, family-run business has flourished thanks to word of mouth from happy customers. People appreciate our attention to detail, the care we take in every installation, and the fact that we always put people first. Over the years, we’ve also expanded into commercial contract work, delivering high-quality solutions for businesses alongside our residential customers. Even as our team has grown, our values have stayed the same: honesty, reliability, and pride in our work. Our story is still unfolding, but our promise remains – to help you create a home or business you love, with windows and doors built to last.

Carl and his team did a fantastic job when working on my garage extension and conversion project. It was the first time that I’ve ever done this type of thing but Carl’s communication was spot on from start to finish. He was courteous and communicative throughout and talked me through each day where the project was at and what was next. If I had to appoint a builder again for whatever reason I wouldn’t hesitate in appointing Martin Building Ltd to complete the job. Thanks again Carl!
