Houghton-le-Spring postcrete supply — sets in 5 minutes, fence up in 30
Postcrete bag is what most Houghton-le-Spring fencers reach for first. Postcrete is a rapid-set concrete sold in 20kg bags. Pour around the post in a hole part-filled with water, give it a stir with a stick, walk away — sets stiff in 5–10 minutes, full strength inside an hour. Saves a day vs traditional wet mix. We deliver across Houghton-le-Spring and the wider Durham footprint — Next-day.
Whether you're laying a single back-garden run on a Hetton-le-Hole or Easington Lane property or quoting a multi-house developer plot, the timber's the same: pressure-treated softwood, sized properly, dropped where you need it.

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.
Neighbourhoods we drop to: Hetton-le-Hole, Easington Lane, Penshaw, Newbottle, Eppleton, Shiney Row, Fence Houses, Hetton Downs. Plus surrounding postcodes (DH4, DH5) — drop your postcode at checkout if you're unsure.
