Cheap Railway Sleepers - where?

netskii

Does anyone know where to get reasonably priced creosote railway sleepers - need about 5 for garden.

OH went to Wilsons Salvage and they were £19. Just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere cheaper - especially in Co Down area.

Thanks

Try the salvage yard at Nutts corner, they dont mention them on the website, but I used to see sleepers on the drive whenever I passed it, normally on the way to the airport..

The sleepers in The Salvage Yard on Nutts corner were from 18-30ish depending on grade last time I looked. (10-11 months ago, I think.)

I got prices about a year ago from Ray Grahams in Newtowards and know that Blaine brothers in Saintfield do new ones too, but unsure of current prices.

You did well to avoid Wilsons- very expensive.
If I could figure out how to PM you I would make another suggestion about a possible source.

the salvage yard quote you a price...you come to see and then they add vat... just check you know the actual price first...

Why not share it with the rest of us Bob?

Cause he's cautious.

Used to be entitled to 20 a year for £25 if we wanted them, never normally paid AND given a pickup to take them home.
