Why us
Why Ashbrooke homeowners choose us
Time-served in five trades
Bricklaying, joinery, plastering, plumbing and electrical — served properly, not picked up on the way. In the industry since 1986.
Ex-Forces owned
8 years in the British Army between two stints in the trade. Timekeeping and tidiness are not extras here.
One firm for the whole job
Groundworks, brickwork, joinery, plastering, plumbing and electrical under one roof. You are not hiring five trades and refereeing when they blame each other.
The local picture
Builders in Ashbrooke, done properly
Ashbrooke is Sunderland's grandest domestic stock — large Victorian villas inside a conservation area, many divided at some point and now being brought back. The designation controls the front elevation and anything visible from the street, while the rear is usually far more open. Solid walls, generous ceiling heights and original joinery are the norm, which means lime mortar, breathable build-ups and joinery matched to profiles no longer stocked. In practice, bringing a divided villa back is as much a structural job as a cosmetic one. Openings formed badly during conversion, stairs relocated, services run where nobody would run them now — we survey what was actually done before pricing the reversal, because the drawings from that era rarely match the building. On the fabric side, solid walls and generous ceiling heights mean lime mortar and breathable build-ups throughout, and joinery matched to profiles that have not been stocked for decades.

In their own words
Trusted by homeowners across the North East
Real customers, real names, real jobs.
That is most of what makes a brought-back Ashbrooke villa look right. The profiles are not stocked any more, so mouldings and sashes are matched to what is already there rather than bought close and hoped for. It is the detail people notice without being able to say why.
It is a lot of what we do in Ashbrooke. The work is usually as structural as it is cosmetic — openings that were formed badly, stairs that were moved, services run where nobody would run them now. We survey what was actually done before pricing the reversal.
It controls the front and anything visible from the street. The rear is usually far more open, and on these villas the rear is where the space is anyway, so it constrains the work less than people fear.
No — Ashbrooke sits in our Sunderland patch. The visit and the written quote are both free.
