Local to Seaham

Coastal homes need coastal know-how.

Seaham has changed from a pit and harbour town into one of the most popular places to live on the Durham coast. Sea views come with sea weather, and wind, rain and salt air are hard on roofs, render, windows and metal fixings.

We cover Seaham and the area around it, including Dawdon, Deneside, Parkside, New Seaham, Seaton, Murton, Cold Hesledon and the coast road towards Sunderland.

Housing in Seaham

Homes in Seaham. What we usually do.

The older streets near the harbour and in Dawdon and New Seaham are brick terraces built for miners and dock workers. They often need re-roofing, repointing, damp and ventilation work, rewires and new heating.

Seaham also has a lot of newer housing on the edges of town and on former colliery land. There, the work is usually extensions, kitchens, bathrooms, garage conversions and EV chargers.

On the coast we specify stainless or coated fixings, suitable render and roof systems for exposure. The area is former coalfield, so ground is checked before extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Durham County Council.

Questions we get asked

Builders in Seaham. Straight answers.

Do you cover Dawdon, Murton and New Seaham?

Yes, along with Deneside, Parkside, Seaton, Cold Hesledon and Hawthorn.

Does living by the sea change the materials you use?

Yes. We use fixings, render, flashings and roof systems suited to wind and salt exposure, so the work lasts.

Can you deal with storm damage?

Yes. Storm damage is treated as urgent, and we can make the roof safe and watertight before the permanent repair.

Do you check for old mine workings?

Yes. Seaham is former coalfield, so we check the Coal Authority records before designing extension foundations.

Who covers Seaham, your Durham or Sunderland team?

Both. Seaham sits between our two bases, so whichever team is closest takes the job.

Do you charge for a quote or site visit?

No. Site visits and quotes are free, with no call-out charge and no obligation. We look at the job and come back with a fixed price in writing.

Are you accredited and insured?

Yes. We are Gas Safe registered, NICEIC approved and NAPIT registered, TrustMark members, and we carry £10m public and employer’s liability insurance.
