Builders in Wallsend
Wallsend takes its name from the end of Hadrian's Wall, and its Roman fort at Segedunum sits beside the streets that grew up around the shipyards. Much of the housing nearest the river is Victorian and Edwardian terraces and Tyneside flats, with inter-war and post-war estates further north and newer homes around the edges of the town.
Many older Wallsend homes are now owned by landlords or first-time buyers who want to bring them up to date. Typical projects include re-plastering, new kitchens and bathrooms, repairs to brickwork and timber, and dealing with damp in back offshoots and around chimneys.
Renovating older terraces
Terraces and Tyneside flats from the shipbuilding era are solidly built, but decades of patch repairs can leave uneven walls, tired plaster and outdated layouts. A planned renovation that deals with the building fabric before the new kitchen goes in gives a far better and longer-lasting result. See our repairs and plastering services.
Adding space to family homes
On Wallsend's inter-war and post-war estates, semis and terraces often have room for a single-storey rear extension or a garage conversion, and some suit a loft conversion.
Landlords and businesses
We help landlords with repairs and refurbishment between tenancies, and businesses on and around the High Street with refurbishment and repairs.

Starting a building project in Wallsend
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 NE28), 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 North Tyneside 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.
Useful questions before building work in Wallsend
Can you renovate a Tyneside flat in Wallsend?
Yes. We carry out repairs and full renovation work on Tyneside flats. External changes usually need planning permission.
What should I fix first in an older terrace?
Start with anything letting water in: gutters, pointing, render and damp. Then structural and plaster repairs, then services, then kitchens, bathrooms and decoration.
Do you work for landlords?
Yes. We help landlords and letting agents with repairs, refurbishment between tenancies and ongoing maintenance.
Can my garage be converted?
Often, yes. Integral and attached garages are usually the most straightforward. Building regulations approval is needed for the conversion.
