What affects scope

  • length of the run
  • height and type of fence
  • removing the old fence
  • slopes, walls or hedges along the line

What to send first

  • Rough length of the fence line
  • The height you want
  • Whether you need a gate

Good fit when

  • an old fence is leaning, rotten or has blown down
  • you want more privacy in the back garden
  • a new patio or driveway needs a boundary to match

Having the garden redone too? Fencing is often easiest to fit alongside wider landscaping.

We put up new boundary fences and replace old ones that have blown down, rotted or started to lean. The main options are timber panels or closeboard on timber or concrete posts, concrete post-and-panel with gravel boards, and UPVC fencing that never needs painting or treating. Most garden fences are between 1.2 and 1.8 metres high, and we go through what suits the spot, whether that is a low front boundary or full-height privacy at the back. On a replacement job we take down and remove the old fence first, set the new posts in concrete at the right spacing and fit gravel boards so the panels sit clear of wet ground. Gates can go in the same run, and the fence can be lined up with a new patio, path or driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Timber or concrete posts?
Concrete posts last longer and won't rot, which matters on exposed sites. Timber posts look softer and suit some styles of fence better. We recommend whatever fits your boundary.
Do I need permission for a new fence?
Usually not for an ordinary garden fence, but height limits apply, especially next to a road. If you are unsure, check with the council before we start.
How long does a new fence take to put up?
Most garden fences go up in a day or two once the old one is down, depending on the length and the ground.
