If you live in Great Lumley and want to improve your property's exterior, Global Outdoor Design is the team to call. We offer driveways, patios, and roofing services tailored to the housing styles and conditions found across this family-friendly part of County Durham.
Great Lumley sits in the DH2 postcode area under Durham County Council, with easy access from the A1(M) / A167 corridor — so we can be on site quickly from our base in County Durham, often combining visits with nearby work in Bournmoor, Pelton.

Great Lumley is a suburban pocket inside Chester-le-Street, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Chester-le-Street job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourChester-le-Street 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 Great Lumley and surrounding areas.
The most common property type in suburban areas, ideal for driveway extensions, patio installations, and roof maintenance.
Larger properties with generous gardens and double driveways that allow for more ambitious design and material choices.
Single-storey properties where roof access is easier and garden spaces often wrap around the building.
Properties from this era often need driveway resurfacing, patio additions, and roofline upgrades to modernise their appearance.
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.
Chester-le-Street is a historic market town between Durham and Gateshead, home to Durham County Cricket Club's ground. The town has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and expanding modern estates on its outskirts.
