Why West Cornforth is different from the rest of Ferryhill

West Cornforth is a rural pocket inside Ferryhill, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Ferryhill job. We plan around longer approach drives, gravel-to-resin conversions and rural drainage. That's why this page exists separately to ourFerryhill page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
