Residential Fencing
Most of our work is replacing a fence that's reached the end of its life rather than fitting a boundary from scratch. Old fences often fail because posts were never set deep enough, or because timber was left sitting directly on soil without a gravel board. We fix both when we replace.

Most of our work is replacing a fence that has reached the end of its life. A replacement is a chance to put right whatever caused the old fence to fail, rather than repeating it. We remove the old fence, fix the foundations and fit a new boundary in the style that suits your garden best, so you are not tied to what was there before.
Your old fence, including posts, is dug out and taken away, along with all waste and offcuts.
Concrete or timber posts set around 600mm into concrete, regardless of how the old fence was built.
Fitted along every run, so the new fence doesn't repeat the old fence's failure point.
10 years on the new fence, materials and workmanship.
It is rarely the panels or boards that give up first. Common causes include:
Posts that were never set deep enough, or set in soil rather than concrete, loosen and lean over time.
Timber left sitting on the ground without a gravel board soaks up moisture and rots from the bottom up.
A fence with weak posts takes the full force of a storm at the post, not along its length.
Eventually even a well-built fence reaches the end of its useful life.
You are not limited to a like-for-like swap. We can replace an old fence with closeboard, panel, slatted or Jacksons fencing, and talk through the trade-offs between cost, appearance and how long it will last. A new fence on the same line is usually straightforward. If you want to move the boundary or change its height, check the rules first.
Where a fence is shared with a neighbour, we can talk through options for splitting cost fairly.
We need access to the fence line, and to the garden for materials. We will agree this beforehand.
If plants are growing against the fence, we will talk through how to protect them or when to move them.
The old fence comes out and the new one goes in as a single job, so your garden is not left open for long.
The old fence and all waste are taken away.

Yes. You can switch to closeboard, panel, slatted or Jacksons fencing, and we will talk through the cost and appearance of each at survey.
