At Forthcoming Group, we help homeowners across Sunderland and the North East improve, repair and upgrade their properties through a range of practical property improvement services. Our work covers roofing, driveways, landscaping and brickwork, supported by knowledge of surveying and joinery. Ryan Forth established the company in 2022 alongside two school friends, bringing together their experience across several trades. While Forthcoming Group was formally created in that year, the people behind the business have decades of hands-on trade knowledge. We have now completed more than 500 projects throughout the North East, from roofing repairs and replacements to driveways, patios, garden improvements, fencing, repointing and other brickwork requirements. Our approach is based on clear advice, reliable communication and suitable preparation before work begins.
Every project is considered according to the property and the work involved. We carry out a survey, discuss the requirements and explain the available options before helping customers decide how to proceed. By bringing several trades together within one company, we can support projects involving different areas of a property without requiring homeowners to coordinate multiple companies. Proper planning, suitable preparation and final checks remain central to how we work. Throughout the project, our team aims to keep communication straightforward and ensure that the work is organised from the initial survey through to completion. We provide support after the work is finished by explaining the completed work, relevant maintenance recommendations and the guarantee details applicable to the project. Our service covers Sunderland and locations across the wider North East.

Services
We undertake roofing projects ranging from minor remedial work and maintenance to complete roof replacements. Our services also cover flat roofing, chimney repairs and roofline work, providing support for repairs, replacements and improvements. Each property is assessed in detail before we put forward a suitable solution. This careful process helps ensure that the work meets the specific condition and requirements of the roof. 
Our driveway installation service covers a range of surfaces to suit different properties and everyday requirements. We provide block paving, resin bound, concrete and tarmac driveways, along with replacements and upgrades. During the survey, we assess the existing space and how it will be used. This helps us identify a suitable finish for your home. 
Our landscaping service is designed to make gardens more practical, comfortable and enjoyable for everyday life. We undertake garden makeovers alongside patio installations and extensions, natural or artificial turf, borders, and fencing. Before starting work, we assess the existing space, discuss your requirements and help determine the most suitable combination of features. 
With our brickwork service, we help homeowners repair, strengthen and improve areas of their property affected by brickwork issues. We provide repairs, walls, chimney bracing, repointing, colour render and general brickwork improvements. Careful assessment takes place before work starts so that the condition of the existing brickwork is understood. We can then establish whether repair, replacement or improvement is suitable for the affected area.

Danny and the team did a cracking job on our garden. The design came out exactly how we'd pictured it, which doesn't always happen, and the finish is spot on. Everything left clean and tidy at the end of each day, no mess, no fuss.
Good communication throughout and they just got on with it. Really happy with how it's turned out. Would recommend without hesitation.

Pointing and relaying of Indian Sandstone patio.
Having tried to get a local company locally in Teesside for 2 years and being let down after
Saying yes .
So decided to contact Forthcoming group in Sunderland via check a trade, they responded
Quickly, gave me a quote, advised when it could be done and advised how they would do the job.
They kept me fully informed during the job
What, why using the materials .
After care Dan and Ryan came round to check the work with minor very minor snagging works to ensure all was ok .
All area was cleaned waste removed and swept Delighted with result .
Highly recommend Forthcoming group .

From the outset, they made the required work very clear and gave options, from repairing areas needing immediate attention to a full roof replacement. I ultimately chose a full replacement, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They provide insurance-backed guarantees with CPA, which gives real peace of mind. Their work looks outstanding, and any questions or concerns Ive had were resolved immediately. The team working at my home were pleasant, chatty, and hardworking, even in terrible weather.

I'd like to thank you for your visit, survey and very clear guidance on what needs doing, how I should proceed, estimate of cost ceiling and redirection to Bark website. Extremely impressed, so much so that I will be coming back to you for a bigger job next year. Re-established my confidence in building professionals after rediculous quotes from fly by nites. Thank you

It's very difficult to comment on quality of work completed as I have very little knowledge when it comes to such things!, that said the new roof looks very solid and there are no leaks whilst they have done an excellent job of an extensive repointing job of the chimney stack. Inevitably, there were a few smashed tiles on the lower floor due to items falling whilst work was being completed but they were promptly replaced. A few delays over start and finish times which was understandable considering weather and the company kept me informed.

Right from the initial enquiry on check-a-trade. Forthcoming roofing and home improvements were excellent! Very polite, always on time and explained each step clearly. The job was done to a very high standard and all workman really canny. We're very happy with the job and would 100% use again and recommend to anyone who needed their services.

We recently hired Forthcoming Home Inprovements for a garden renovation and paving project, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for their work.
The consultation process was smooth and informative. They listened carefully to our vision, offered helpful suggestions, and provided a detailed quote that was both fair and transparent. Throughout the project, communication was excellentwe were kept informed of progress and timelines, and any questions we had were answered promptly.
The quality of workmanship is second to none. The paving was done with precision, creating a clean, elegant look that has completely transformed our outdoor space. They extended our patio and sourced materials that matched the age of the house and we now have a space that well enjoy for years to come.
What really stood out was their attention to detail and pride in their work. The team was punctual, respectful of our property, and left the site spotless each day.
We highly recommend Forthcoming Home Improvements to anyone looking for reliable, skilled professionals to bring their garden and outdoor spaces to life. It's rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with creative vision so seamlessly.
Thank you for turning our garden into a space we love!

Ryan, Joe and team did an excellent job from start to finish. Initially troubleshooting what I thought a minor problem, they were able to define a bigger roof replacement project with a timescale that suited me , at a reasonable price. They put the right people with the right skills in the right numbers on the job. The team were hard working, courteous and respectful. Highly recommended!
