Chester-le-Street gravel board supply — stops your fence rotting at ground level
Gravel board is what most Chester-le-Street fencers reach for first. Gravel boards are the horizontal timber that sits at the base of a fence, between the posts, raising the fence boards off wet earth and stopping ground-rot. A gravel board is the cheapest single thing you can do to add years to a fence. We deliver across Chester-le-Street and the wider Durham footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Pelton or Great Lumley property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Chester-le-Street looks like for fencing
The River Wear borders some of the Chester-le-Street and Lumley plots — riverbank fencing wants more careful spec (pressure-treated, gravel boards mandatory, posts set further back from the bank to avoid washout). Mostly fertile loam soil, posts go in easy.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Pelton, Great Lumley, Bournmoor, North Lodge, Plawsworth, Waldridge, Edmondsley, Sacriston, Newfield. Plus surrounding postcodes (DH2, DH3) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
