Travel fees depend on your exact location. He will confirm any additional costs during your free phone enquiry. Most areas in South Shields are covered within the standard service area.

How long is a first visit?

An initial assessment lasts about an hour. This gives him time to understand your needs, assess your movement, and create a tailored plan.
