Get a quote →Sunderland has its own house type: the single-storey Sunderland cottage, found in streets across Millfield, Pallion, Hendon, Fulwell and Ryhope. Cottages are perfect for loft conversions and rear extensions, but they need a builder who understands their roofs, offshots and suspended floors.
Ashbrooke and Thornhill have large Victorian houses, and parts of them are conservation areas. Along the coast at Roker and Seaburn, wind and salt air are hard on roofs and render. Our Bathrooms Express showroom is in Sunderland too.
Much of the city is former coalfield, so ground conditions are checked before extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Sunderland City Council.
