Tyneside flats, sea air and Victorian terraces.

Housing in South Shields

Homes in South Shields. What we usually find.

Tyneside flats are common in South Shields: two homes in one terrace, each with its own front door. Upstairs and downstairs flats usually have separate supplies, but pipes and cables share floor voids, so plumbing, heating and rewiring need careful planning with the neighbour.

Westoe Village is a conservation area with large Victorian houses, where roofs, sash windows, chimneys and joinery need sympathetic repair. Towards the sea front, wind and salt air are hard on roofs, render and fixings, so we specify for exposure.

Planning and Building Control are with South Tyneside Council. Parts of the borough are former coalfield, so ground conditions are checked before extension foundations are designed.

Yes, along with Harton, Marsden, Boldon, Simonside, Biddick Hall, Jarrow and Hebburn.

My house is in Westoe Village. Can you repair it sympathetically?

Yes. Westoe is a conservation area, so we match materials and details and check with South Tyneside Council whether consent is needed.

Yes, gas safety records and EICRs, plus the repairs that follow.
