Areas we cover
Areas we cover around Hexham
We are based in Hexham and work in the town and the villages within about 10 miles – from Corbridge and Stocksfield in the east to Haydon Bridge and Bardon Mill in the west.
Local to Hexham
Keeping our area compact means less time on the road and more time fixing boilers. It also means we get to know the homes in each village – the stone cottages of the North Tyne, the larger family homes around Riding Mill and Stocksfield and the farmhouses of Hexhamshire and the Allen valleys.
Each area page below has local information, useful questions, a map and the services we offer there. If your village is not listed but is close to one that is, just ask.
