Builders in Fenham

Fenham, on the west side of the city near the Nuns Moor and the Town Moor, is largely made up of inter-war semi-detached and terraced houses, with older properties and Tyneside flats towards Arthur's Hill and the city. It is a settled residential area, and many families here want to improve and extend rather than move.

Inter-war semis

Houses from the 1920s and 1930s are generally well built, with bay windows, hipped roofs, good-sized gardens and sometimes a side driveway. That makes them suitable for several ways of adding space:

• Single-storey rear extensions for an open-plan kitchen and family room
• Two-storey side extensions where the plot allows
• Hip-to-gable and rear dormer loft conversions
• Knock-throughs between the back rooms and kitchen

Typical issues in older homes

Houses of this age can have original lime-based plaster that has failed in places, old wiring and plumbing, and chimney breasts that have been removed downstairs without proper support above. We check for these issues during the early conversations about your project so they are planned for, not discovered later.

Renovating and repairing

We also carry out kitchen and bathroom renovations, re-plastering and repairs for homeowners and landlords across west Newcastle.

Building services in Fenham

Every service below is available to homes and businesses in Fenham and the streets around it.

Starting a building project in Fenham

The easiest way to begin is to tell us what you have in mind: the type of work, the address or postcode (we work across NE4), whether the property is a home, a rental or business premises, and roughly when you would like the work done. Photographs are a great help, and you can attach them to the enquiry form on this page.

We will then talk through the scope of the work and the information needed to assess it. If drawings, planning permission or building regulations approval are likely to be needed, we explain how that works with Newcastle City Council, and agree the approach, arrangements and next stages with you before any work proceeds. Nothing is assumed or promised until it has been agreed.
