Houghton, Hetton and the surrounding ex-mining villages have rows and rows of similar 1970s estate housing where the boundary fencing is all at the same age — and that age is now end-of-life. Whole-row replacements are our staple here. Trade supply to social-housing maintenance contractors is steady. Gate posts and panel replacements fill the rest.

How to install / use

What Houghton-le-Spring looks like for fencing
The ex-mining estates were built fast with light-spec fencing — 3×3 posts, light rails — and we always upgrade on replacement. Mine-shaft surveys cover some streets so deep posts get awkward in pockets near old workings; if your job's flagged on a mining-zone map we'll spec metposts or concrete spurs instead.
