Maintaining timber sleepers is key to prolonging their life and keeping them looking great. Here are a few tips:If untreated, apply a wood preservative annually to protect against rot and insect damage. Keep soil and wet materials away from the sleeper surfaces as much as possible to prevent moisture accumulation. If used in ground contact or areas with high moisture, consider using a gravel base for drainage and to reduce direct soil contact. Regularly inspect for signs of wear or damage and address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration. By following these maintenance tips, you can extend the lifespan of your timber sleepers, whether they’re made of Larch, Douglas Fir, or Cedar.

  Super company to work with. I found Mathew and his team really helpful, and the examples they have of different cladding helps no end when deciding what to go for. Great value and the fact the wood is grown, felled and sawed in Wales proves it truly is a local product. Highly recommend this company.
