What we do
All aspects of building work across the North East
Extensions, loft and barn conversions, new builds, resin driveways, landscaping, garden rooms, aluminium glazing and masonry — all run by the same crew, so nothing falls down the gap between trades.
Extensions
The extra room you actually need, built onto the house you already like.

Why us
Why North East homeowners choose GGH
John Havelock started on site in 1986 and served 8 years in the British Army before coming back to the trade. He is time-served in bricklaying, joinery, plastering, plumbing and electrical work, and the crew is built the same way. There is no head office, no showroom and no salesman on commission.
-
Time-served in five trades
Bricklaying, joinery, plastering, plumbing and electrical — served properly, not picked up on the way. In the industry since 1986.
-
Ex-Forces owned
8 years in the British Army between two stints in the trade. Timekeeping and tidiness are not extras here.
-
One firm for the whole job
Groundworks, brickwork, joinery, plastering, plumbing and electrical under one roof. You are not hiring five trades and refereeing when they blame each other.
10% off for serving personnel and veterans
John served 8 years in the British Army. 10% off labour — just ask when you get in touch.
