Why Tanfield is different from the rest of Stanley

Tanfield is a rural pocket inside Stanley, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Stanley job. We plan around natural-stone walls, larger garden footprints and farm-edge boundaries. That's why this page exists separately to ourStanley page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Tanfield.
