Where We Work
Our tradespeople live across Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire, east Staffordshire and southern Cheshire. That is why we work where we work — not a radius drawn on a map, but the area our team actually comes from.
The area our team comes from
Most of our work sits within about forty minutes of Stoke-on-Trent, which is where most of the team is. Where a town sits further out on this table, it is because somebody works from that side of the county rather than driving across it.
Centred on Stoke-on-Trent. Villages around each town listed are covered too.
Measured from Stoke-on-Trent
Where we work, and what the houses are like
Stoke-on-Trent
All six towns — Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton and Stoke — plus Meir, Bucknall, Trentham, Barlaston and Blurton. Mostly pre-1919 pottery workers’ terraces with solid walls, narrow back-addition kitchens and small upstairs bathrooms, alongside newer estates on the southern edge.
Home Renovation Stoke-on-Trent →Newcastle-under-Lyme
An older market town with a much wider housing mix — Georgian near the centre, interwar semis at Westlands and Poolfields, and former mining villages at Silverdale, Knutton and Chesterton. Keele puts a large rental stock on the doorstep too.
Kitchen Fitters → Bathroom Fitters →Burton on Trent
Brewery town, and the housing shows it — red brick terraces through Shobnall and Horninglow, interwar and post-war semis at Winshill and Stapenhill, and newer estates out at Branston and Stretton. Exceptionally hard water, which changes what we specify. Villages at Rolleston, Tutbury and Barton under Needwood covered too.
Kitchen Fitters → Bathroom Fitters →Kidsgrove
A canal and railway town on the Cheshire border, with Victorian terraces around the centre and a lot of post-war housing at Talke, Butt Lane and Newchapel. Solid stock that mostly wants updating rather than rescuing.
Biddulph
On the Moorlands edge, and noticeably more exposed than the city — which matters for anything outdoors. Stone and brick cottages towards Biddulph Moor, post-war estates lower down.
Leek
A Victorian silk town with a large conservation area and a lot of listed frontage. Beautiful stock, and the sort where matching an existing moulding matters more than picking a new one.
Stone
Georgian market town on the canal, with a well-kept centre and generous interwar and modern housing spreading out from it. Conservation area rules apply in parts of the town.
Cheadle
Small Moorlands market town with a mix of older stone property and newer estates, plus the surrounding villages out towards Alton and Oakamoor.
Stafford
The county town — a Georgian and Victorian centre wrapped in a great deal of modern development. Two quite different jobs depending on which side of town you are on.
Uttoxeter
Market town with a compact older centre and steady newer growth around it. Sits neatly between our Potteries work and the east of the county.
Congleton
Over the border but closer than Stafford. A Victorian silk town with good period stock near the centre and substantial modern estates towards Astbury and Buglawton.
Alsager
Largely twentieth century housing with plenty of 1960s and 1970s detached and semi-detached property — square rooms, sound fabric, kitchens and bathrooms of an age that wants replacing.
Crewe
A railway town, and it shows — dense Victorian terraces built for railway workers, much like the Potteries stock we work in every day. The same constraints and the same solutions.
Macclesfield
Another silk town, with tight Victorian terraces near the centre and a good deal of desirable period and modern property spreading up towards the hills. Part of our team is based on this side, and the villages between here and the Staffordshire border are covered too.
Why the list stops where it does
Lichfield and Tamworth are both in Staffordshire and neither is on our list. The reason is not the county line, it is the drive — nobody on our team is within a sensible distance of either, so every day on site would start and finish with an hour in the van.
That cost lands somewhere. Either the price goes up to cover it, or the service slips — a late start because of traffic, no coming back the same day for a small adjustment, a job stretched over more days than it needs. We would rather not quote than do either.
If you are in one of those towns, there will be a good multi-trade firm nearer to you and you will get a better job from them. That is not a brush-off, it is the honest answer.
The same test is what puts a town on the list. It is never about mileage from an office — it is about whether the people doing the work are close enough to do it properly.
East Staffordshire and Burton
Burton sits further from Stoke than anywhere else we cover, and on a map alone it would look like a stretch.
It works because part of our team is based on that side of the county rather than driving across it, and because Burton is the kind of housing we know well — brewery-era terraces with the same constraints as the Potteries stock, and post-war semis that want the same things doing.
If you are in Burton, Stapenhill, Winshill, Branston, Stretton, Tutbury or the villages around them, we cover you properly rather than reluctantly.
Yes, we come to Cheshire
We are called Staffordshire Renovation Group, so people in Congleton, Alsager, Crewe and Macclesfield reasonably assume we do not travel to them.
Part of our team lives on that side of the border, which is the real reason those towns are covered — and Congleton and Alsager are twenty minutes from Stoke, Crewe twenty-five. The name says where the business is registered, not how far the people go.
About our coverage
Do you charge more the further out I am?
No. Prices are the same across everywhere on this page, and there is no travel charge or call-out fee for a survey. That is exactly why the coverage area has a limit — a flat price only works where the people doing the work are close enough for it to make sense.
I am in a village, not one of the towns listed
The towns are shorthand for the areas around them. Barlaston, Endon, Werrington, Baldwins Gate, Madeley, Audley, Betley, Cheddleton, Weston, Blythe Bridge, Forsbrook, Meir Heath, Rode Heath, Scholar Green, Bosley, Gawsworth, Rolleston-on-Dove, Tutbury, Anslow, Barton under Needwood, Newton Solney and dozens of others are all inside the same area. If you can see your nearest town on the map, you are covered.
What if I am just outside the area?
Ask anyway. A larger job is worth a longer drive in a way a single door is not, so the answer depends on what you are planning and on where the trades for that job happen to be based. We will give you a straight yes or no rather than a maybe, and if it is a no we will say why.
Which areas do you work in most?
Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, by a distance — between them they account for most of what we do. That matters practically as well as geographically: we know the housing stock in those two extremely well, which is why a kitchen survey in a Burslem terrace or a bathroom in a Westlands semi rarely produces a surprise. Burton is our newest area and growing.
