Builders in Sunderland

Keystone Construction Group covers Sunderland and the surrounding villages. Extensions, brick and block work, foundations, drainage, plastering and insulation. Local crew, no call centre, and you speak to the same person the whole way through.

What building work in Sunderland usually involves

Sunderland is a mix of coastal property near Roker and Seaburn, older terraced stock through Millfield and Hendon, and estates out at Doxford and Silksworth. On the coast side you get salt exposure eating into pointing and render far quicker than inland, so material choice actually matters here.

Plenty of the ex colliery housing around Ryhope, Silksworth and Houghton has had cavity insulation retrofitted badly over the years. If you have got damp patches on internal walls it is worth having someone look at it properly before you keep painting over it. We will give you an honest read rather than selling you a job you do not need.

Sunderland questions we get asked a lot

Do you cover Washington and Houghton as well as Sunderland city?

Yes. Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton, Ryhope and the coast villages are all inside our normal patch, no extra travel charge.

What mortar should be used on coastal properties in Sunderland?

Anything near Roker or Seaburn takes a hammering from salt and driving rain. We tend to use a slightly stronger mix on exposed elevations and a lime based mix on older solid wall property so the brick faces do not blow. We will explain the choice on site.

Can you do foundations for a garden room or extension in Sunderland?

Yes, groundworks is one of our core trades. Excavation, footings, drainage and slab, all set out to whatever the building control officer signs off.
