Gilesgate is a urban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around narrow side passages, on-street loading and short delivery windows. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
We offer a complete range of exterior property services to homeowners in Gilesgate and surrounding areas.
These densely packed properties require creative solutions for access, parking, and outdoor space — our team thrives on these challenges.
Ground-floor maisonettes often have private front areas perfect for a compact resin driveway or paved entrance.
End-terrace properties enjoy side access and extra frontage, creating opportunities for wider driveways and wrap-around improvements.
Detached properties in urban settings often have more scope for ambitious driveway designs and full garden transformations.
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.
Durham is a UNESCO World Heritage city dominated by its Norman cathedral and castle. Housing ranges from student lets and Georgian terraces in the city centre to family homes in surrounding villages. Conservation area rules apply across much of the historic core.
