Shankhouse is a suburban pocket inside Cramlington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Cramlington job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourCramlington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Shankhouse.
How we adapt for this area:
We set up a clear work zone in your garden and protect the lawn and planted areas throughout.
Drainage falls are planned from the outset to direct water away from the house and boundaries.
We mark out the full patio layout with string lines and pegs so you can visualise it before we start.
Northumberland is England's most northerly county, known for its dramatic coastline, market towns, and rural landscapes. Properties range from traditional stone-built cottages and farmhouses to modern estates in expanding commuter towns, all benefiting from exterior work that complements the area's natural beauty.
Cramlington is one of Northumberland's largest towns, developed as a new town from the 1960s. It has a modern housing stock with good transport links to Newcastle. Newer developments continue to expand the town's eastern and southern edges.
