Why Preston-on-Tees is different from the rest of Stockton-on-Tees

Preston-on-Tees is a suburban pocket inside Stockton-on-Tees, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Stockton-on-Tees job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourStockton-on-Tees page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
