Prudhoe sleeper supply — raised beds, retaining walls, garden steps
Sleeper is what most Prudhoe 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 Prudhoe and the wider Northumberland footprint — 1–2 day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Mickley or Eltringham property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

What Prudhoe looks like for fencing
Some Prudhoe plots have River Tyne frontage — for those we set posts back from the bank, pressure-treat everything, and recommend cap rails. Old colliery housing in the centre is on heavy clay (rapid-set postcrete needed). Wylam village has heritage planning to be aware of for anything frontage-side.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Mickley, Eltringham, Ovingham, Stocksfield, Wylam, West Mickley, Riding Mill, Hedley on the Hill. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE42) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
