Tyne and Wear

Builders in Newcastle upon Tyne

We cover the whole of Newcastle, from the Georgian terraces in Jesmond and Heaton through to the newer estates out at Kingston Park and Great Park. Brickwork, extensions, groundworks, plastering, steels, the lot. One point of contact from the first phone call to the final tidy up.

What building work in Newcastle upon Tyne usually involves

Newcastle throws up a bit of everything. You have got tight back lanes in Heaton and Sandyford where access is a nightmare and everything has to be barrowed in, and then you have got wide open new builds out west where you can get a wagon right up to the plot. We price the access in honestly rather than turning up on day one and telling you it is going to cost more.

A lot of the housing stock in Newcastle is solid wall Victorian and Edwardian brick, which means repointing, damp and cold walls come up constantly. Tyneside flats in particular need care taken with shared walls and shared rear yards. If you are in a conservation area like Jesmond or Brandling Village we will tell you straight what needs council sign off before anything gets ordered.

Newcastle questions we get asked a lot

Do you do work in Newcastle conservation areas?

Yes. Jesmond, Brandling Village and parts of the city centre have extra rules on materials and finishes, particularly mortar colour and window openings. We will flag anything that needs planning or listed building consent before you spend a penny on materials.

How much does repointing cost in Newcastle?

It depends on the height, the access and whether it is lime or cement mortar. A single rear elevation on a two storey terrace is usually the smallest job worth scaffolding for. We will come out, measure it and give you a fixed price rather than a rate per metre that creeps up.

Can you work on Tyneside flats?

Yes, and we know the quirks. Shared yards, shared chimney stacks and split ownership on the roof all need sorting before work starts. We will tell you which bits are your responsibility and which need the neighbour on board.
