The Bread and Butter As we say Up North ‘You don’t get owt for nowt’. In other words, you don’t get anything back if you don’t put anything in. At least that’s what we like to think. Unfortunately, it isn’t always the case when it comes to things like building insurance. You pay month in month out, but then, if you need to make a claim the insurance companies make it into such a faff that you end up walking away with a scrap of what you deserve, or sometimes not even bothering. So, really you may as well have paid nowt in the first place. We see loads of these cases, where insurance companies bewilder their customers with jargon and loopholes to put them off claiming, and quite frankly it’s not on. This is where we come in. If you need to make a claim, we cut out the nonsense. Then, we deal with getting the actual work done, so you’re not hassled with finding The 3 lines in our logo stand for Revive, Reinstate and Renovate and we believe we are the complete solution for building works REVIVE - The first aid for any property when making an insurance claim. We have specialist leak detection engineers who can find leaks without causing damage to your property. Our drying contractors can carry out moisture surveys to confirm where in your building is wet and needs drying. We can carry out decontamination cleans after floods and fires. We are BDMA (building damage management association) qualified REINSTATE - After Reviving your property we can deal with any type of reinstatement work.

After battling with a building insurance claim for over one year by myself I came across Reinstate. Andrew Hall came to visit the property very quickly. After the visit, a scope of work was sent back to me within 2 working days. Once the payout was confirmed, Andrew revisited the property with the building director. The result met my expectation and was completed on time. I can't thank him enough for the help provided.

We undertake all building work but specialise in joinery

Contacted me almost as soon as job posted and visited following day. Price pretty much as I had estimated it would cost. Lots of positive reviews so gave job on the spot. Work carried out following week. Lads who came did a great job , no messing about and were polite and courteous throughout. Good clean up by them at the end. Happy to recommend and would definitely use again.

Hi, I would just like to introduce our organisation PWR Property Services. We specialize in the plumbing, electrical and security sectors. Each of us has been specializing in our respected trades for a combined 15 years. Our ever-growing client list includes reputed organisations mainly in the City of Sunderland but we are looking to now expand across the whole of the North East. The services we provide vary in each different sector of the business. The plumbing services we provide can stem from general maintenance such changing a valve to fitting a new heating system, the same as the electrical side of things from changing a socket to a rewire or an EICR and the same goes for the security side of things, you may just want a camera upgrade or an entire security system installing, no job is too big or too small for our lads. If there is anything you need doing in any of the sectors we cover or have any general questions, please do not hesitate to reach out, we will be more than happy to answer any questions or provide a free quotation on the works you require.

Friendly and professional service. Not having recommendations of tradesmen is hard. 'Rated People' allowed me to find David from DBF Handyman and Building Services. David has been nothing but superb. Friendly and helpful. Taking his time to allow us to explain what we wanted and then for him to explain how he would do it. All the work carried out by him is of the highest standard. David even assisted and advised on other works because he is a decent honest man. Will certainly use again. Thank you.

Excellent job, got a replacement for the tile that has not been manufactured for some years and had it fitted in half a day. Considering the amount of miles put in to come to the job and miles travelled to source the replacement tile the job was very reasonably priced too.
