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.

Common uses
Closeboard fence between posts, post-and-rail boundary, paddock fencing, repairs after a storm.
How to install / use
Most 6ft closeboard fence uses two rails per bay; taller (7ft+) uses three. Rails sit in rebated post slots, or sit on the face of the post with rail brackets. We stock both 12ft and 14ft lengths so bays can be built without scarf joints.

All fence rails →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.
