Washington is a 1960s new town and a lot of its original boundary fencing is now reaching wholesale-replacement age. We do a lot of whole-section runs — phased so nobody loses their back garden overnight. Trade supply to landlords managing the original Washington Development Corporation housing is regular work. Gate posts for driveway entrances on the newer Springwell and Lambton estates round out the volume.

All sleepers →What Washington looks like for fencing
The original Washington estate fencing was light spec — 3×3 posts at 1.8m centres with thin rails. Most of what we replace now we upgrade to 4×3 concrete-set with proper 3.6m rails, which gives a much longer life. Heavy clay soil in pockets around Ayton and Usworth — rapid-set postcrete is a must, not a nice-to-have.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Sulgrave, Donwell, Concord, Albany, Glebe, Columbia, Ayton, Springwell, Usworth, Lambton, Oxclose. Plus surrounding postcodes (NE37–NE38) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
