Who is Tom Kindley?
Tom is the owner and installer behind Tom Kindley Home Improvements. He has spent more than 16 years fitting doors, windows and wall panelling, and that experience shows in the small things: a door that closes with an even click, a window sealed cleanly into its opening, panelling that runs straight from one end of the wall to the other.
Over the years he has found that people want three things from a home improvement company. They want honest advice about what will work in their home. They want a fair, clear price. And they want the work done tidily, on time and with respect for their property. The business is built around those three things.
One person from start to finish
Because Tom runs the business himself, the person who gives you advice and a quote is the same person who fits your new door, windows or panelling. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a fitter, and if you have a question, you know exactly who to ask.
It also means Tom’s name is on every job. That’s a good reason to get the details right, from the first measurement to the final clean-up.
Why focus on doors, windows and panelling?
Rather than offering every trade, we concentrate on three things and do them well. Specialising means Tom knows the products inside out, understands the problems that come up in local homes and can give you a straight answer about which option is right for you.
The three also go together. A new front door often leads to thinking about the windows beside it, and a smart new door can be the start of a hallway makeover with panelling. Because the same person handles all three, colours and finishes are easy to keep consistent.
Keeping the range focused also means we only recommend what we know works. If something isn’t the right fit for your home, Tom will tell you, even if that means a smaller job.
Working on Newcastle homes
Newcastle has a wide mix of housing, and each type brings its own things to think about when choosing doors and windows.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Many older streets have tall sash windows and panelled front doors. Keeping those proportions, whether in timber or a sash-style uPVC, helps the house keep its character.
Tyneside flats
These pairs of upstairs and downstairs flats share a frontage, with two front doors side by side. Choosing a door and windows that sit well next to your neighbour’s keeps the whole building looking tidy.
Post-war and newer homes
More recent houses tend to suit casement windows and simpler door designs. They’re also a good canvas for modern colours such as anthracite grey.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. As well as homes, we fit doors, windows and panelling for businesses in Newcastle. If the work is at shop, office or other business premises, let us know your opening hours and any access arrangements, so the job can be planned with as little disruption to your customers and staff as possible.
