Unlike new Oak sleepers, they are very stable and are very unlikely to deform or split further. 

Our good quality Oak sleepers offer exceptionally good value for money.

Conifer Rustic Ex
 BR  Reclaimed Railway Sleepers


Grade A:

£24.00 ea + VAT

Grade B:

£20.00 + VAT

 

Approx. (mm) 2600 x 250 x 125 (Creosoted)    

These reclaimed sleepers are fairly straight and make good rustic edging.

Garden features and retaining walls where a seasoned, rustic look is required.

New Tanalised Brown Pine Sleepers    
Approx. (mm) 2400 x 240 x 120 (Softwood)   £20.00 ea + VAT
Approx. (mm) 2400 x 200 x 100 (Softwood)   £16.00 ea + VAT
     
New Tanalised Brown Alder/Aspen/Birch Sleepers   £18.00 ea + VAT
Approx. (mm) 2400 x 200 x 100 (Hardwood)    

Ideal for an attractive ‘fitted’ look, being accurately sawn to size. 

They are an attractive golden brown, durable, straight and relatively light to handle.

Features utilising these sleepers have an ‘engineered’ look.

Their ‘flatness’ makes them ideal for steps or a base for a structure.

Suitable to be  laid edge on edge or flat on flat. 

It is wise to use a non-permeable ground sheet between the sleeper and soil. 

 
French Untreated Oak (natural colour) Sleepers Grade A: £24.00 ea + VAT
Approx. (mm) 2400 x 200 x 100 (Hardwood) 

Although accurately machined and an attractive golden brown when first produced,
they quite rapidly turn a light grey and are prone to warping and splitting.

Unlike reclaimed ‘Rustic’ Oak types new Oak sleepers are likely to move after installation. 
This is partly because they are usually made from ‘Green Oak’ which may not be properly seasoned.  They are more durable than new Tanalised Pine if properly treated prior to placement.
We categorically recommend new oak should always be treated if in contact with the ground.
  A non-permeable ground sheet is recommended between the sleeper and soil.

Please note! Gloves must be worn when handling our sleepers, particularly when they are Creosoted or Tanalised

 

Please note:    

There are regulations regarding restrictions on where Creosote treated timber can be used. 

Where contact with skin is likely i.e.:

seating, interior use and children play areas Creosoted timber is not acceptable.

The prohibitions on usage, according to EC & EEC regulations

are as follows:-

  • Inside buildings (whatever the purpose), in toys, in playgrounds and in garden furniture.

  • In garden situations where there is a risk of ‘frequent’ skin contact. 

  •  ‘Frequent’ is advised by the DTI to mean “habitual or constant”.

  • It is important to wear gloves when handling treated sleepers not only because of the treated surface,

  •  but also to avoid skin damage.

Fairoak Sleepers trusts that this information is of assistance,

in your enjoying safe usage of our products and would like to make the following comments:

  • It is our understanding that you can grow produce, (veg etc.) inside a space contained by treated sleepers but not on them and that they can be used for retaining slopes in say a garden or commercial environment.

  • Probably the main issue with reclaimed sleepers is not necessarily toxicity.

  • since the more hazardous low molecular with contaminants and water soluble

  • phenols will have long sine dispersed, but the dirtiness of the entrained Bitumen. 

  • Bitumen is potentially more of a problem with pressure treated Pine compared with Oak

  • since Pine has a much more ‘open’ wood grain absorbing more Bitumen and 

  •  therefore having a greater tendency to ‘bleed’ in warm weather.

  • Reclaimed Railway Sleepers are a natural product inevitably of considerable age

  • and therefore one finds there is a variation of quality between loads.

  •   We recommend viewing a potential consignment to be sure that you are happy with it.
