Builders in South Shields
We cover South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Whitburn and the coast road. Brickwork, garden walls, extensions, groundworks, plastering and outdoor drainage.
What building work in South Shields usually involves
Coastal exposure is the big one in Shields. Wind driven rain off the North Sea finds every weak joint in pointing and every gap round a window. If you are getting damp on a west or north facing wall it is nearly always the pointing or the render rather than rising damp, whatever anyone has told you.
Lots of solid wall terraces near the sea front and older semis inland. Gutters and downpipes get overlooked constantly, and a blocked gutter will soak a wall for years before anyone notices. It is a cheap fix compared to what it causes.

South questions we get asked a lot
Why does my South Shields house keep getting damp on one wall?
Nine times out of ten on the coast it is penetrating damp coming through failed pointing, cracked render or a leaking gutter, not rising damp. Get someone to look at the outside of that wall before you pay for an injected damp course.
Do you fit gutters and downpipes?
Yes, that comes under our outdoor plumbing work. New runs, replacements, repairs and drainage into a proper soakaway rather than just dumping it onto the ground.
Do you build garden and boundary walls in South Shields?
All the time. Brick or block, with piers, copings and railings if you want them. Bear in mind anything over a metre next to a road usually needs planning permission and we will tell you if yours does.
