Local knowledge
Sunderland's housing and what it means for repairs
Across Sunderland, 45.0% of homes are semi-detached and 29.1% terraced, with detached houses at 13.3% and flats at 12.5%. That is a lot of ageing double glazing, and misted units are one of the most common repairs. The unit is swapped in the existing frame, as explained on our misted double glazing page.
Near the seafront at Roker, salt air wears window and door hardware, and servicing or replacing a stiff hinge or handle usually beats a new window. The city sits in the rain shadow of the Pennines and is one of the least rainy cities of Northern England, so hardware and seals tend to wear from use and salt rather than constant rain.
Sunderland has several conservation areas, including Sunniside, Old Sunderland, Bishopwearmouth, Ashbrooke, Roker Park and The Cedars. Frames there are best repaired rather than replaced. Check with Sunderland City Council what consent is needed before changing anything.
Across the city, 26.6% of homes are socially rented, so housing providers and landlords regularly arrange repairs for their tenants.
Typical property in the area: semis and terraces with ageing double glazing, seafront homes and conservation-area frames.

Questions
Sunderland homes: common questions
My house is in the Ashbrooke conservation area. Can the windows be repaired?
Yes. Frames in conservation areas are best repaired rather than replaced, and we work on the glass, seals and hardware in the existing frame. Check with Sunderland City Council before any change.
Several of my windows have misted. Do they all need replacing?
No. Each misted sealed unit can be replaced in its existing frame, and several can usually be done in one visit.
What do you need for access to my property?
Most repairs are carried out from inside. Let us know about any parking limits, upstairs windows or a tenant who needs to be present, so the visit can be planned.
