Saltwell is a suburban pocket inside Gateshead, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Gateshead job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourGateshead page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Tyne and Wear sits at the heart of the North East, with excellent transport links and a diverse housing stock. Whether you live in a city centre apartment block or a suburban semi, we bring local knowledge and trusted workmanship to every project across the county.
Gateshead sits across the Tyne from Newcastle and offers a mix of urban terraces near the town centre, established suburbs like Low Fell and Whickham, and rural villages towards the Derwent Valley. The Angel of the North and Baltic arts quarter reflect the area's ongoing regeneration.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Saltwell.

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.
We keep stock of popular materials at our yard so projects in major towns can start quickly without long lead times.
We visit your property to discuss your vision, measure the driveway area, and assess ground conditions.
We help you choose colours, patterns, and edging that complement your home and the local streetscape.
The existing surface is removed, sub-base is laid and compacted, and edges and drainage are installed.
