Why Albany Village is different from the rest of Washington

Albany Village is a suburban pocket inside Washington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Washington job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourWashington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Serving Albany Village and Tyne and Wear

From the Tyne bridges to the Wear's winding path, this metropolitan county pulses with energy and history. Our team has worked on properties ranging from listed quayside warehouses to sprawling new-build estates, adapting techniques and materials to each unique setting.

Washington is a planned new town built in the 1960s and 1970s, with distinct numbered villages each containing their own housing estates, shops, and green spaces. Properties are predominantly modern semi-detached and detached houses with good-sized gardens.
