Covering Northfield and the streets out towards Longbridge and Weoley Castle.
Northfield grew up alongside the old Austin and later MG Rover works at neighbouring Longbridge, and a lot of the area's semis and terraces were built in the 1920s and 30s for that workforce, solid, standard-sized housing with proper integral or attached garages rather than anything converted or bolted on. That makes most Northfield jobs straightforward, standard door sizes, easy access, and hardware that's now old enough to be reaching the end of its working life across whole streets at once.
Since the Longbridge plant's closure and the area's subsequent redevelopment, we've seen a steady rise in full replacements rather than repeat repairs, part of a wider pattern of people investing in these established family homes as the wider Longbridge regeneration has brought new amenities and rising interest in the area.
The former Longbridge car plant site is now home to Longbridge Technology Park and the Great Park retail and leisure development, a proper transformation from its manufacturing days. It's brought new residents into the immediate area on newer-build housing alongside Northfield's older established streets, which is where we occasionally get a first-installation job rather than a repair, genuinely new housing stock mixed in with streets that have had the same garages for eighty years.
Almost always, yes. These houses were built to fairly consistent dimensions, which is exactly why standard sizing works so reliably here.
Yes, both regularly, they're a short run from central Northfield.
Most calls booked before early afternoon get a same-day slot. No callout fee if we carry out the repair.
