Builders, electricians, plumbers and roofers for Peterlee, Horden, Easington, Shotton Colliery, Blackhall and east Durham. Every trade on our own books, one fixed price.
Peterlee was designated a new town in 1948 and built through the following decades, so most of its housing comes from a few big building programmes. That makes the problems predictable, and we know them well.
We cover Peterlee and east Durham, including Horden, Easington Village and Easington Colliery, Shotton Colliery, Blackhall, Wheatley Hill, Thornley, Haswell, Castle Eden and Wingate.

Some estates, including Sunny Blunts, used flat roofs and modernist designs, and flat roofs of that age need proper replacement rather than another patch. We also see tired heating, original wiring and windows that have reached the end of their life.
The colliery villages around the town, like Horden, Easington and Blackhall, have long terraced streets close to the coast, where wind and salt air are hard on roofs, render and pointing.
East Durham is former coalfield, so ground conditions are checked before extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Durham County Council.
