Sunniside is a suburban pocket inside Gateshead, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Gateshead job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourGateshead page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
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.
Our team knows this city inside out — from the busiest streets to the quietest suburbs.
We leave your property spotless at the end of every day and remove all waste on completion.
We're happy to show you examples of projects we've completed in Sunniside before you commit.
We don't disappear after the job — we're always available for advice, maintenance, and follow-up.
Every project is backed by comprehensive public liability insurance for your peace of mind.
We understand the needs of family homes — safe working practices, clean sites, and considerate scheduling.
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.
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 Sunniside.
How we adapt for this area:
We mark out the full patio layout with string lines and pegs so you can visualise it before we start.
Existing planting that you want to keep is professionally protected or temporarily relocated.
Drainage falls are planned from the outset to direct water away from the house and boundaries.
We keep stock of popular materials at our yard so projects in major towns can start quickly without long lead times.
We visit your garden to discuss your vision, measure the area, and suggest suitable materials and layouts.
We present options for stone, porcelain, and accessories, with a detailed quote and timeline.
Existing surfaces are cleared, the area is excavated, and a solid base with drainage is installed.
Your patio is laid to the agreed design with precision cutting, proper falls, and quality jointing.
We inspect every detail, complete any finishing touches, and walk you through maintaining your new patio.
