Just Across the Tyne

Gateshead's go-to for quality stone surfaces

Gateshead is a twenty-minute drive from our workshop — straight across the Tyne Bridge and out along the Coast Road — which makes it one of the easiest areas in the region for us to service. That closeness is worth something: it means shorter lead times, a smoother templating process and a fitting team who know the local roads, parking quirks and the typical quirks of Gateshead's housing stock.

We've installed stone worktops in everything from compact semis in Dunston and Felling, through family homes across Whickham and Low Fell, to the higher-end new-builds going up around Kibblesworth, Ravensworth and the Team Valley fringes. Our work also shows up regularly in the bars and independent venues around Gateshead Quays and the Sage precinct.

Local Knowledge

Fitting stone surfaces across every corner of Gateshead

Gateshead has transformed over the last two decades. The Baltic, the Sage and the wider Quays redevelopment have brought a wave of contemporary apartments with open-plan kitchens that suit slim ceramic surfaces or large-format quartz. Move a mile or two out and you're into the established areas of Low Fell, Saltwell and Bensham — handsome stone-built terraces and semis where a honed granite or marble surface tends to sit beautifully alongside the original period features.

Further out, estates around Whickham, Dunston, Wrekenton, Birtley and Kibblesworth give us a steady stream of full kitchen fit-outs, and we're often on Team Valley supporting local kitchen showrooms with trade orders. The variety keeps us on our toes — and means whatever property you're working with, we've likely fitted a worktop into something similar nearby within the last twelve months.

Gateshead postcodes we cover: NE8, NE9, NE10, NE11, NE16, NE21 — plus Washington (NE37–NE38), Chester-le-Street (DH2–DH3) and the wider south-Tyne corridor.

Neighbourhoods regularly served: Low Fell, Dunston, Felling, Saltwell, Bensham, Windy Nook, Wrekenton, Whickham, Sunniside, Blaydon, Ryton, Birtley, Kibblesworth, Ravensworth, Washington, Chester-le-Street, Team Valley and Gateshead Quays.

The Right Choice

Six reasons Gateshead chooses Traditional Masonry

There are a handful of stone suppliers in the North East. Here's what makes us the one homeowners, developers and designers keep returning to.

Local team, local response times

A quick run over the Tyne means we can visit, template and quote faster than national suppliers shipping in from elsewhere.

Single point of contact

No being passed between a showroom, a templater and a fitter — you speak to the same small team from first enquiry to final polish.

Showroom full of full-size slabs

Not tiny samples. You see the whole slab, its veining and its real character before you commit a penny.

Kitchen-trade credibility

Trusted by Gateshead kitchen companies and direct material suppliers alike — a reputation built slab by slab.

Clean, careful installation

Dust sheets, protection on floors and surrounding units, sensible working hours. We leave the kitchen the way we'd want to find our own.

Aftercare that lasts

You go home with a material-specific care guide, and we're always a phone call away if you need advice later.

Easy to Reach

Twenty minutes over the Tyne

From Gateshead it's a straight run over the Tyne Bridge and along the A1058 Coast Road to our North Shields showroom — roughly 20 minutes outside rush hour. Parking is free and we've always got the kettle on.

Good Questions

Gateshead worktop FAQs

The questions we get asked most often by Gateshead homeowners and local trades planning a kitchen project.

How quickly can you template and fit a worktop in Gateshead?

Gateshead is around twenty minutes from our workshop — either over the Tyne Bridge and along the Coast Road, or across the river to the Tyne Tunnel depending on where you are. Templating is usually arranged within a week of your deposit, and from template to fitted worktop is normally 7–10 working days. See the full process.

Do you work with kitchen showrooms on Team Valley?

Yes. We're a preferred stone supplier for several kitchen companies based on Team Valley and the Gateshead retail corridor. If you've been quoted for worktops through a local kitchen retailer, there's a good chance they've used us before.

Can you replace worktops in a Gateshead new-build without damaging the units?

Yes — most modern units are perfectly suited to taking a new stone surface. Our fitting team lifts and disposes of the old worktop cleanly, then installs the new stone with minimal disruption. Sinks, taps and hobs can all be reused where suitable.

Which worktop material is most popular with Gateshead homeowners?

Quartz tends to be the most popular choice, especially for modern estate homes around Dunston, Birtley and Kibblesworth. It offers a consistent appearance, is easy to clean and doesn't need sealing. Granite remains a strong second choice for those who want a more natural, characterful surface.

Do you offer upstands and splashbacks to match the worktop?

Yes — we cut upstands, splashbacks, window sills and full-height feature walls from the same slab as your worktop where possible, so the colour and veining carry through consistently. Just let us know at templating and we'll factor it into your quote.

Do you cover Washington and Chester-le-Street as well as Gateshead proper?

Yes — our Gateshead coverage extends south into Washington (NE37–NE38) and Chester-le-Street (DH2–DH3). Distance isn't an issue; we template and fit across the whole south-Tyne corridor regularly.
