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. New bathrooms and kitchens are typical jobs we undertake. There isn't anything we cannot help with. We are the complete solution for your insurance repairs. We believe we are the best solution for anyone making a claim and we can appoint our loss assessor when you need that extra bit of help managing the claim. RENOVATE - We work closely with structural engineers and architects and can offer a refurbishment of your property in-house, whatever it is you are looking to achieve.

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.

Phil was a very friendly, courteous and reliable roofer who did a great job.. I contacted him on Friday morning and he managed to get over and sort my missing tile the same afternoon. His work is good and he made me aware of , and showed me a couple of other areas that needed attention. Will definitely use him again. Thanks Phil for a great job

Didn't give the Job to Gareth, however this was not a reflection on anything about Gareth. He was prompt polite and knowledgeable, it just came down to me needing the bottom price even though Gareth's quote was very competitive. I had to go with the cheapest for me.

reactive glazing repairs from a company serving the north east for the last 35 years, no job too small for our experienced glaziers.

Extremely hard working and what they say they do! Nothing has been a problem for them and they took a great deal of pride in ensuring that we were totally happy with the work done.

Konrad replaced a rotten old single-pane skylight in a difficult location in our stairwell, needless to say it was a tricky job and not many would have taken it on. Konrad and his co-worker replaced the skylight with a velux-style window in one full day, with everything down to the plastering done by 18h00. It was an excellent job, they were professional, efficient and caused minimal disruption to the household, and their quote was cost-effective. We will definitely be offering them further work in future.

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.
