Burnside is a suburban pocket inside Houghton-le-Spring, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Houghton-le-Spring job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourHoughton-le-Spring page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Solid-built semi-detached homes with good-sized plots, perfect for adding a new driveway or patio.
Newer builds with open-plan gardens that suit contemporary patio designs and low-maintenance landscaping.
Houses that have been extended often need the driveway or roof adjusted to match the new footprint.
Properties on corner plots have more frontage and garden space, offering greater scope for creative exterior design.
Homeowners in this town trust us for quality workmanship and straightforward pricing.
We leave your property spotless at the end of every day and remove all waste on completion.
