A well-designed patio is one of the best investments you can make in your Simonside property. We lay every patio on a full mortar bed with proper drainage, using materials chosen to complement the character of homes across this family-friendly part of Tyne and Wear.
We work across the NE33 postcode in Simonside (part of South Tyneside Council), travelling in via the A19 / A194 and often servicing Westoe, Tyne Dock on the same trip, which keeps lead times short for local homeowners.

Simonside is a suburban pocket inside South Shields, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic South Shields job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourSouth Shields 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 Simonside.
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.
Tyne and Wear is a densely populated metropolitan county with a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates, and modern developments. Properties here range from traditional Tyneside flats to large detached homes in leafy suburbs, all requiring exterior work that respects the area's industrial heritage and urban character.
South Shields is a popular coastal town with sandy beaches at Sandhaven and Littlehaven. Housing includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront, inter-war semis, and modern estates. The town faces the North Sea, making weather-resistant materials essential.
