Fence Houses 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.
Our work across County Durham takes us from the cobbled streets of the historic city centre to the former colliery villages and market towns that make up much of the county. We understand the local planning considerations and building styles that vary widely across this diverse area.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Fence Houses.
How we adapt for this area:
Scaffolding is positioned to protect driveways, lawns, and garden features during the project.
We install scaffold netting and sheeting to keep dust and debris from affecting neighbouring properties.
Existing roof insulation is assessed and upgraded where possible during re-roofing work.
We've completed multiple projects in this area recently and can provide local references on request.
We thoroughly assess your roof condition, identifying any issues and recommending the best course of action.
You receive a detailed quote with a project timeline, so you know exactly what to expect.
We erect scaffolding, lay protective coverings, and prepare the work area before any roofing begins.
Our experienced team carries out the agreed work, maintaining weatherproofing throughout the process.
We inspect the finished roof, remove all scaffolding and waste, and provide your written guarantee.
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.
