City of Stoke-on-Trent

Around Stoke-upon-Trent.

Stoke-upon-Trent is one of the six towns of the Potteries, home to the civic centre, the main railway station and the Royal Stoke University Hospital, and to famous pottery works such as Spode. Its housing ranges from tight Victorian terraces around Boothen and Shelton to older villas in Penkhull and Hartshill. Many customers are landlords, hospital staff and students, so fast responses and clear pricing matter, and it pays to name the neighbourhoods rather than the whole city.

Fenton (1 mile), Stoke-on-Trent (1 mile), Longton (2 miles) and Burslem (3 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Newcastle-under-Lyme (2 miles), Kidsgrove (6 miles), Madeley (6 miles) and Stone (7 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

Within Stoke-upon-Trent itself, we build for businesses in Hartshill, Penkhull, Boothen, Oakhill, Trent Vale and Shelton.

Stoke-upon-Trent addresses fall in the ST postcode area, about 168 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
