Why Witton Gilbert is different from the rest of Sacriston

Witton Gilbert is a rural pocket inside Sacriston, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Sacriston job. We plan around outbuilding rooflines and exposed weather-facing elevations. That's why this page exists separately to ourSacriston page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
