Newcastle sleeper supply — raised beds, retaining walls, garden steps
Sleeper is what most Newcastle fencers reach for first. Sleepers are heavy timber baulks — usually around 8" × 4" (200×100mm) — sized like the original railway sleepers but pressure-treated softwood, not creosoted oak. Good for almost anything that needs a chunky timber edge. We deliver across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyne and Wear footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Jesmond or Heaton property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Newcastle looks like for fencing
Access is the main thing in central Newcastle — cobbled back lanes behind the terraces won't take a full-size tipper, so we'll bring a smaller vehicle if your job's down a tight one. Heritage and conservation rules apply in Jesmond, around Leazes Park and bits of the Quayside fringe; we'll flag if your build's likely to need anything more than the usual permitted-development heights.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Jesmond, Heaton, Walker, Byker, Fenham, West Denton, Kenton, Lemington, Throckley, Newburn, Westerhope, Cowgate. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE1–NE13, NE15) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
