Social housing and estate programmes for Gateshead properties
If your property is in Gateshead or the NE8 district or nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Wallsend and Hebburn, it is within our Tyne and Wear coverage. It is about 1 mile south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Blocks of flats in Gateshead are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. For landlords and managing agents in Gateshead, we survey in batches and return a result sheet and fixed price per address.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Tyne and Wear has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
As for paperwork, in Gateshead filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
