Leadgate is a suburban pocket inside Consett, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Consett job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourConsett page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
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.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Leadgate.
