We cover the town and the surrounding area, including Shildon, West Auckland, St Helen Auckland, Coundon, Toronto, Escomb, Etherley, Woodhouses and Henknowle.

The terraced streets of Bishop Auckland, Shildon and the colliery villages around them often need rewires, heating upgrades, damp treatment, re-roofs and kitchen and bathroom refits. On the newer estates the work is mostly extensions, conversions and modernisation.
Much of the area is former coalfield, so ground conditions are checked before extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Durham County Council.
