Colliery Row 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 longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. 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.
County Durham's landscape ranges from the Pennine uplands to the Durham coast, with housing that reflects centuries of development. 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.
