Local to Stockton-on-Tees
Stockton-on-Tees is a ten-minute drive from our base in Middlesbrough, and we've been working on its housing stock since before half the new estates were built. Whether you're in a Georgian town-centre flat behind the High Street, a 1970s semi in Roseworth, or a new-build off Yarm Road, we know what's behind the plaster, why the door's dropped and where the stop-tap is hiding.
Property types we work on
Tall, narrow buildings with timber sashes, lime plaster, original mortice locks and shared chimney stacks. Restoration done right - breathable, sympathetic, insurance-friendly.
Cavity-wall semis with bay windows, original timber floors, and the classic kitchen extension. Common: damp at floor-bridging, snapped UPVC cylinders, tired flat roofs.
Solid construction, plasterboard ceilings, and lots of decoration and joinery work. We carry the right parts and the right finish, first time.
Composite doors, block-and-beam floors, combi boilers. Fast-fix specialists for the issues these houses develop in years 5–15.
Change-of-tenancy lock changes, end-of-tenancy refresh, planned maintenance - landlord and agent invoicing as standard.
Out-of-hours emergency repair, shopfront joinery, lock and shutter work, and quick decoration without disrupting trade.

Common in Stockton-on-Tees

Talk to GaryBehind the High Street and out into older Norton and Yarm streets, many walls are lime plaster on lath. When previous trades have skimmed gypsum over the top, it traps moisture and blows off in patches. We strip back to a sound substrate and reinstate with lime or breathable equivalents.
Properties close to the river and the old cuts can see ground-water ingress in heavy rain. We diagnose the route in - air-bricks, gully back-flow, slumped sub-floor - and put in the right combination of damp-proofing, ventilation and drainage.
Hartburn, Fairfield and Norton are full of bay-fronted semis where the bay has settled away from the main wall. Symptoms: cracked plaster at the junction, sticking sash, gappy skirting. We re-bed, re-plaster and re-decorate without papering over the cause.
Modern Eaglescliffe and Yarm estates are now hitting the age where original euro-cylinders snap. We carry 3-star anti-snap cylinders sized to the door - fast, insurance-compliant fix, no need for a new door.
Across the TS18–TS19 rental market we run regular change-of-tenancy jobs - locks changed, walls patched, doors re-hung, decoration freshened - invoiced direct to landlord or agent so the property is back on the market in days.
Our process
You speak to Gary or a member of the family - never an answer service. Quick diagnosis, honest ETA, transparent pricing before we set off.
We arrive when we say we will, look at the actual job - not what was guessed over the phone - and explain what's needed in plain English.
A clear price with materials, labour and timeline. No 'while we're here' upsells and no extras that magically appear on the invoice.
Trades done by tradesmen, not generalists. Dust sheets, tidy site, daily clean-down, neighbours respected.
We walk you through the finished work and hand over paperwork. Every job is backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee — if anything works loose, drips or needs adjusting within 12 months, we return and fix it free of charge.
