Houghton-le-Spring and the towns around it grew on coal, and the housing still reflects that: colliery terraces, inter-war semis, big post-war estates and newer developments on the edges. Penshaw Monument watches over most of it.
We cover Houghton, Hetton-le-Hole, Easington Lane, Penshaw, Shiney Row, Philadelphia, Newbottle, Herrington, Fence Houses, Burnside and East Rainton.

Get a quote →The terraces of Hetton, Easington Lane, Fence Houses and the older parts of Houghton typically need rewires, new heating, damp and ventilation work, re-roofs and kitchen and bathroom refits. Many have back offshots that are ready to be rebuilt as proper extensions.
The semis and estate houses in Shiney Row, Penshaw, Herrington and Burnside are where we do most extensions, garage conversions and kitchen knock-throughs. The historic centres of Houghton and Newbottle are conservation areas, where external changes need more care.
The whole area is former coalfield, so ground conditions are checked before any extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Sunderland City Council.
