Before we quote in Houghton-le-Spring
Surveys in Houghton-le-Spring also cover the surrounding DH4 district and towns such as Chester-le-Street and Washington. Houghton-le-Spring sits around 11 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Houghton-le-Spring, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
What happens during the survey?
We measure each elevation, photograph the details that affect the job, check the wall construction and look for damp, cracking and loose render. Ground levels and the damp-proof course are recorded so the system starts in the right place. Eaves depth, window cills, flues, meters, soil pipes, satellite dishes and lights are all noted because each one needs a detail.
