Why West Rainton is different from the rest of Sunderland

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