Why us
Why Sunderland 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 Sunderland, done properly
Ashbrooke is the pocket of Sunderland with the largest houses and the tightest controls — big Victorian villas inside a conservation area, where extensions and conversions have to be handled with a light touch on anything visible from the street. Along the coast at Roker, Seaburn and Fulwell the constraint changes to exposure, with salt and wind driving the same specification decisions we make in Tynemouth. Out at Cleadon, Whitburn and the Boldons the plots get larger and the work shifts towards garden rooms, landscaping and resin drives. Houghton-le-Spring and the former pit villages sit on old colliery ground, so mining risk is a routine part of the groundworks conversation.

No. Free site visit and written quote across Sunderland and the surrounding villages, with no call-out charge.
Sunderland is well inside our patch and a straightforward run from Newcastle, so site visits are usually within a few days.
Yes, and it needs care — Ashbrooke is a conservation area with substantial Victorian villas, so what you do to the front and anything visible from the street is controlled, while the rear is usually far more open. We will establish exactly what applies to your property before anything is drawn.
Regularly. The main practical difference is ground: former colliery areas often need a coal mining risk assessment before foundations are designed, which we will flag at the site visit.
