Why South Hetton is different from the rest of Murton

South Hetton is a suburban pocket inside Murton, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Murton job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourMurton page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
