Fence Houses is a well-established suburban community in Tyne and Wear, situated approximately 10 miles south of Sunderland city centre and bordered by the A690 corridor. The village comprises predominantly 1960s–1980s semi-detached and terraced housing, alongside newer residential developments that cater to families and commuters working across the North East. Its location provides convenient access to both Durham and Tyneside, making it an increasingly popular residential choice with a stable, mixed-demographic population.
Properties in Fence Houses frequently experience hairline cracking and plaster blow due to the age of the housing stock and variable ground conditions typical of the Tyne and Wear area. Damp-related plasterwork failure is also prevalent, particularly in north-facing walls and properties with aging external render.
For Fence Houses homeowners, repairing plaster cracks and minor drywall damage is usually the most cost-effective first step, particularly on period semi-detached homes where original plasterwork retains character value. However, full wall replacement becomes necessary when moisture ingress, structural movement, or extensive impact damage is present—a common scenario in older DH4 properties affected by ground settlement.
“Good experience overall. Took a few hours to hear back but the plasterer was professional, assessed the damp-damaged wall honestly and gave a realistic quote for the repair. Job done well.”
“Used this to compare quotes for re-skimming our lounge and hallway. Had 3 plasterers contact us the same day. Went with the middle quote and the finish is absolutely perfect. Highly recommend.”
“Needed external rendering quotes for our semi. Got three quotes within 24 hours — very different prices for similar spec. Really glad I used this rather than just calling one company.”
