ATKINSONS is based at Belmont Business Park on the edge of Durham City, so Durham jobs are on our doorstep. We know the streets, the housing, the council and the quirks of building in a World Heritage city.
We cover the city and the villages around it, including Belmont, Gilesgate, Newton Hall, Framwellgate Moor, Pity Me, Neville's Cross, Shincliffe, Sherburn, Bowburn, Brandon, Langley Moor, Ushaw Moor and Meadowfield.

Durham also has a lot of student and rental housing in areas like the Viaduct, Gilesgate and Neville's Cross, where landlords need fast turnarounds, HMO-standard fire safety and up-to-date certificates. In Newton Hall, Belmont and the newer estates, the jobs are mostly extensions, conversions, kitchens and bathrooms.
The villages around the city were built for the pits, and County Durham is former coalfield, so ground conditions are checked before extension foundations are designed. Planning and Building Control are with Durham County Council.
