We are passionate about railway sleepers..

EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT RAILWAY SLEEPERS but were afraid to ask! Whether you are planning a raised bed, retaining wall, raised pond or some steps in the garden, you will find that railway sleepers are brilliant to use. Whether you want new or used railway sleepers, softwood or hardwood, untreated or treated, we have 1000's in stock & WE LOVE THEM! Some might say that this makes us a little obsessive, having recently built the largest railway sleeper projects collection in the world, but we are proud to say that we equally care about our customers & enthusiastically supply our railway sleepers throughout the UK. We even have a support programme for those ADDICTED to railway sleepers!

What our customers say...

  • Hello. First of all I have to say what a fantastic website you have and how much I enjoyed browsing it, and so easy to use also. I didn't realise that there were that many different railway sleepers available - my local timber yards had one variety of the reclaimed stuff and only two choices of the new railway sleepers (brown or green..hhmm??) so I was very glad to stumble upon your website....

  • The railway sleepers arrived safely. They are fantastic, but oh my goodness, some are ridiculously heavy! We had a couple of "light" ones to start off with which gave us a warm false sense of security! But then several we exceptionally dense, just lifting them was a struggle. We wanted to pass on sincere thanks to the delivery driver at our end. Although he wasn't able to lift and shift, he was ma...

  • Dear Railway Sleepers. As promised, photos of our finished deep raised beds project. We were delighted with your website, delivery and quality of your railway sleepers. My husband struggled a little with the weight so as would any true engineer he knocked together a pair of wheels (see photo). Other than that it all went smoothly. Even the dog had fun!...

  • I have been trawling through the internet looking for places that sell railway sleepers for a little garden project / idea I have. I just wanted to say that your web-site on railway sleepers is the most amusing and informative one I have ever seen! The pictures (overloaded cars etc) and comments are great! I need to do some serious tree removal and measuring and planning before I know exactly what...

KEITH'S STRIKING RAISED BEDS FROM NEW STAINED RAILWAY SLEEPERS

KEITH'S STRIKING RAISED BEDS FROM NEW STAINED RAILWAY SLEEPERS

Keith has created a dramatic front garden using railway sleeper raised beds that he has stained with a dark colour to create a striking contrast with the light coloured ornamental gravel. The snowy picture is a reminder of how tough landscaping can be during the winter! A big thank you to Keith for his lovely words of appreciation to the team at railwaysleepers.com.

PROOF THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF A RAILWAY SLEEPER TUNNEL!

PROOF THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF A RAILWAY SLEEPER TUNNEL!

If for a curious dare you strangely decided to lie down on a railway track for 50 years, whilst being battered by wind, snow and rain, you'd probably be pretty worn away and weathered at the end of it. However if you decided to repeat this unusual experiment inside a tunnel, you'd come out of it in a much, much better state. Our newly arrived reclaimed Dutch Oak railway sleepers are proof of this. They have just been taken up from a tunnel after 50 years of service and are in top condition! So, next time you undertake a personal reckless challenge, choose the Tunnel option. You'll definitely look better for it!
