Crossgate is a historic pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around permitted-development limits on frontage changes. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Grade I and II listed properties where all exterior work must comply with conservation requirements and use approved materials.
Elegant period properties in conservation areas where sympathetic materials like natural stone and slate are essential.
Large Victorian properties with ornate rooflines and generous grounds that suit premium patio and driveway designs.
Well-built Edwardian homes with bay windows and tiled paths that benefit from sensitive exterior renovation.
