Builders, electricians, plumbers and roofers for Consett, Blackhill, Shotley Bridge, Leadgate and Lanchester. Every trade on our own books, one fixed price.
Consett sits high on the edge of the Pennines, and winter arrives early. Snow, frost and driving wind mean roofs, guttering, pointing and heating systems take a beating, and a weak boiler shows itself fast.
Since the steelworks closed in 1980, Consett has changed a lot. New housing has gone up on and around the old works land, alongside the older terraces of Blackhill and Leadgate and the larger period houses of Shotley Bridge. We work across all of it.

Shotley Bridge has larger Victorian and Edwardian houses, and parts of it are a conservation area, so changes to windows, roofs and frontages need more care and sometimes consent. On the newer estates the jobs are usually kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, garage conversions and EV chargers.
Planning and Building Control are with Durham County Council. The wider area is former coalfield and industrial land, so ground conditions are checked before any extension foundations are designed.
