Surveying property in Sandyford

Sandyford is a compact Victorian district between Jesmond and the city centre, with terraces and Tyneside flats, larger houses converted into flats and a substantial student population. The housing is uniformly Victorian, so roofs, timber and damp are the focus of every survey.

We are based in Gosforth and cover Sandyford and the surrounding area — Jesmond, Heaton, Shieldfield, Newcastle — as part of our regular round, so there is no long-distance travel premium and no unfamiliar surveyor.
