Pity Me is a suburban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. 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 Pity Me 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.
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.
