Property Types
The Houses And BuildingsWe See In Sunderland
Roker and Seaburn coastal property
Sea-facing elevations that take the weather head-on, and interiors where a lighter, cleaner blend often suits the coastal light better than a heavy dark brick.
Terraced and colliery-era housing
Solid-wall terraces across the city and out towards Houghton and Hetton, with reinstatable fireplaces and rooms where depth is at a premium.
Washington and post-war estate housing
Flat-finished modern interiors where a feature wall, media wall or brick kitchen elevation is the single most effective change to the room.

Local Conditions
The Problems SunderlandWalls Actually Throw Up
Salt air and driving rain
Sea-facing elevations at Roker and Seaburn take genuine exposure. External specification and substrate preparation are what stand between a wall that lasts and one that fails in a bad winter.
Render at the end of its life
Repeatedly repainted, cracked or stained render is common on coastal property. Brick removes the recoating cycle — but what is behind the render governs the approach and is checked first.
Solid-wall interiors and moisture
Older city and colliery-era housing is solid-wall. Internal substrates are assessed for moisture and soundness before cladding.
Estate housing with no character to work with
Post-war and modern estate rooms are flat by design. The risk here is not damp but scale — choosing a blend and bond that suits a small room rather than overwhelming it.

The wall is measured and the substrate assessed for soundness and moisture. Setting out, bond and corner detail are agreed before anything is ordered.
- 04
Installation
