Why Great Lumley is different from the rest of Chester-le-Street

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