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 longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. 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've completed hundreds of projects across the city and surrounding areas.
We answer calls, reply to messages, and keep you informed at every stage of your project.
Homeowners across the North East rate us 5 stars for quality, reliability, and communication.
We work around your routine, school runs, and commitments to minimise disruption.
As a family-run company, our reputation depends on every single job being done right.
We design driveways and gardens that enhance your property's value and fit the local streetscape.
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.
As one of the region's largest population centres, we maintain a regular presence here and can usually schedule work at short notice.
We measure your driveway area, check for utility locations, and discuss your design preferences.
You receive a fixed-price quote with a clear timeline. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Old surfaces are excavated and disposed of. A proper MOT Type 1 sub-base is laid and compacted.
The chosen surface — resin-bound, block paving, or tarmac — is installed with precision.
We inspect the finish, ensure drainage is working correctly, and remove all waste from your property.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Pity Me.
How we adapt for this area:
Neighbouring property boundaries are clearly marked and respected throughout the installation process.
We schedule material deliveries to avoid school-run hours and peak residential traffic.
We protect lawns, borders, and existing landscaping during driveway work on suburban properties.
