Working in your area
Dunston is characterised by riverside residential streets near the MetroCentre and Team Valley. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gateshead and Whickham too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of porcelain patio spec that actually holds up here.

Do you offer a guarantee?+
We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Ellison Road-style layouts we normally coordinate access up front so vehicles can be moved for the working day. It rarely needs more than a short conversation with neighbours.
