Why Cockerton is different from the rest of Darlington

Cockerton is a suburban pocket inside Darlington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Darlington job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourDarlington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
