Builders and property trades in Chapeltown

Chapeltown and its houses

Big Victorian villas, many divided into flats, alongside red-brick terraces and later council housing near Potternewton Park. That takes in Chapeltown Road, Leopold Street and the terraces around Potternewton Park, and the rest of the LS7 postcode.

What we are asked to do in Chapeltown

Victorian terraces bring the same handful of jobs again and again: chimney stacks on the party walls, damp low on solid walls, wiring that has been added to over decades, and kitchens and bathrooms squeezed into small rooms. Much of the housing is rented, so landlords make up a big share of the work.

• Slate repairs and chimney stacks
• Rewires and landlord EICRs
• Damp-damaged plaster and ceilings
• Repairs between tenancies
• Kitchens and bathrooms in tight rooms
