Get a quote →Bensham and Saltwell are full of Tyneside flats, where upstairs and downstairs homes share a building, floor voids and sometimes the back yard. Plumbing, heating, rewires and kitchen and bathroom refits all need planning around the neighbour.
Low Fell and Whickham have larger period and inter-war houses, where loft conversions, rear extensions and kitchen knock-throughs are popular. Parts of Low Fell and Whickham are conservation areas, which affects what can change at the front.
Gateshead is former coalfield in many areas, so we check ground conditions before extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Gateshead Council.
