Blackhill Village is a suburban pocket inside Consett, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Consett job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourConsett page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
The most common property type in suburban areas, ideal for driveway extensions, patio installations, and roof maintenance.
Larger properties with generous gardens and double driveways that allow for more ambitious design and material choices.
Single-storey properties where roof access is easier and garden spaces often wrap around the building.
Properties from this era often need driveway resurfacing, patio additions, and roofline upgrades to modernise their appearance.

Whether you're in a period property near the cathedral or a modern home in one of the county's new-build estates, we deliver quality exterior work suited to your surroundings.
Consett sits high on the Durham hills at over 250 metres above sea level, making it one of the coldest and most exposed towns in the region. Properties need to withstand harsh weather, and materials must be chosen for wind and frost resistance.

We discuss your outdoor living requirements, measure your garden, and explore material options.
You receive a comprehensive quote covering design, materials, drainage, and any extras like lighting or raised beds.
We clear the area, lay proper foundations, and install drainage channels before any paving begins.
Slabs are laid on a full mortar bed with precise cutting, consistent joints, and correct drainage falls.
