Eighton Banks is a suburban pocket inside Gateshead, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Gateshead job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourGateshead page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Tyne and Wear is a densely populated metropolitan county with a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates, and modern developments. Properties here range from traditional Tyneside flats to large detached homes in leafy suburbs, all requiring exterior work that respects the area's industrial heritage and urban character.
Gateshead sits across the Tyne from Newcastle and offers a mix of urban terraces near the town centre, established suburbs like Low Fell and Whickham, and rural villages towards the Derwent Valley. The Angel of the North and Baltic arts quarter reflect the area's ongoing regeneration.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Eighton Banks.
