About Durham
Durham is a UNESCO World Heritage cathedral city with over 49,000 residents, famed for Durham Cathedral and Castle on Palace Green. Durham University and the Norman architecture define the city's global appeal. Over 20 schools support education, heritage, tourism, and healthcare. Durham's cool North East climate and UNESCO status create strict conservation requirements. The city serves as the cultural heart of County Durham across the council's 863 square miles.
Local Authority and Infrastructure
Durham County Council manages 863 square miles with UNESCO conservation as a core priority. Arriva North East serves the city. Heritage conservation, university expansion, and Riverside development demonstrate sustained investment. The council balances cathedral and castle precinct protection with university growth and County Durham's broader needs.
How We Work in Durham
We design and fabricate in our Lancashire workshop and install across the UK, including County Durham. Each project starts with a free site survey and clear 3D drawings, so you can see the shelter before it is made. Our own team installs it, and we can help with planning and highways paperwork where the job needs it.
