We are passionate about railway sleepers!

EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT RAILWAY SLEEPERS but were afraid to ask! 
The railway sleeper team at the railway sleeper yard. Railwaysleepers.comWhether 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 railway sleepers, untreated or treated railway sleepers, 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.

What our customers say...

  • I have to say I am absolutely inspired by your web site! I am really excited about tackling a few projects with your magnificent railway sleepers....

    Jamie

  • What a fabulous website. I was vaguely thinking about using some railway sleepers somewhere in my small and strangely shaped garden, and have been motivated to the point of going outside in the dark in my pyjamas to do some measuring. I'm still not sure, but ideas are abounding!...

    Emily Evans

  • Thanks for the inspiring photos of using railway sleepers....

    Richard Storey

  • Love your railway sleeper website! So much detail to help try & avoid future ambiguity, & personally, I love the tongue in cheek nature of it. Both things right up my street!...

    Scott Rue

  • I will certainly send photos of my railway sleeper project. Thanks for the great service and wonderful website....

    Paul O'Shea

  • Just a note to say "Thank You" to you all. Great service throughout and love the railway sleepers too. Please also pass thanks to the haulier. The driver was lovely - phoned to confirm he was en route, really friendly, helpful and efficient. Will send pics of the finished project! ...

    Julia and Nick Laurie

  • 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....

    Anita Mistry

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the communications and delivery. The railway sleepers are really good quality and even lengths - much appreciated. Can you also pass my thanks to the Haulage company. The delivery driver was exceptionally helpful, patient and polite - altogether a good experience....

    Gwen Phillips

  • I hope the pictures of my railway sleeper project are useful. I have had nothing but compliments about them from neighbours!...

    Martin Batten, Milton Keynes.

  • Fantastic website for ideas even down under in NZ where we have a great supply of railway sleepers. Will be doing steps on a very steep bank eventually so thanks for project ideas!...
