Builders, electricians, plumbers and roofers for Stanley, Annfield Plain, South Moor, Craghead and the villages around Beamish. Every trade on our own books, one fixed price.
Stanley sits high on the moors above the Team Valley, and the weather shows it. Wind-driven rain, cold winters and exposed gable ends are the norm, so roofs, render, pointing and heating get worked harder here than in most of the county.
We cover the whole of north-west Durham from our Durham base: Stanley town centre, Annfield Plain, Catchgate, South Moor, Craghead, Oxhill, Tanfield, Tantobie, Burnhope, Dipton and the villages out towards Beamish.

Get a quote →Much of Stanley was built for the pits: long stone and brick colliery terraces in places like Craghead, South Moor and Annfield Plain, many now extended to the back with kitchen and bathroom offshots. These houses often have solid walls, little insulation and older wiring, and we see a lot of damp caused by blocked cavities, failed render and poor ventilation.
Alongside the terraces are large estates of former council housing from the post-war decades. Typical jobs there are full refurbishments, rewires, new boilers, kitchen and bathroom replacements and single-storey rear extensions.
The whole area is former coalfield, so before an extension we check the Coal Authority records for shallow mine workings, and design the foundations accordingly. Planning and Building Control are with Durham County Council.

Yes. We cover Stanley and the surrounding villages, including Annfield Plain, Catchgate, South Moor, Craghead, Tanfield, Tantobie, Burnhope, Dipton and out towards Beamish.
Not usually, but it needs checking. The area is former coalfield, so we look at the Coal Authority records for shallow workings and design the foundations to suit before you commit.
In Stanley it is often a mix of solid walls, wind-driven rain, failed render or pointing and poor ventilation. We find the cause first, then fix it, rather than selling you a chemical damp course you may not need.
Durham County Council handles planning and Building Control. Many rear extensions fall under permitted development, and we check your address before design.
