The Humber
We are based in Goole, which sits at the head of the Humber, so the estuary is our doorstep rather than the edge of our patch. We work both banks and cross the bridge regularly.
Being on the estuary shapes the housing in ways that matter for doors. A lot of the older stock in the port and estuary towns is solid-walled Victorian terrace, often with the original four-panel doors still in place or long since replaced with something that does not suit. Where customers want to go back to the original look, the period four-panel and 1930s ranges do it without the cost of joinery-made doors.
Damp and movement are worth mentioning honestly here. Estuary properties, particularly older ones and anything close to the water, see more humidity swing than an inland house. That is the practical argument for an engineered-core door over solid timber: the core is far more stable, and it is the usual reason an old solid door binds shut in a wet autumn and rattles in a dry spring.
For the specific towns and what we know about the housing in each, the two pages below go into more detail than this one does — the north bank is covered under East Yorkshire and the south bank under Lincolnshire.
Covering DN14–DN20, HU1–HU15 and DN31–DN41.
