Which fence is mine?
One of the most common boundary questions. The general rule is that your fence is on the left-hand side when facing your property from the road — but this isn’t always accurate. The title deeds to your property should confirm ownership, and may mark boundaries with a ‘T’. If it’s unclear, speak with your solicitor or agree terms with your neighbour.

How can I get a quote for new fencing?
Every garden is different, so we always recommend a quick site visit to understand your layout, access, and goals. Once we’ve seen the space, we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a small section or a full replacement, we’re here to offer honest advice and a solution that fits your garden.
Give us a call or fill in the enquiry form to get started. -
Can I get a quick idea of fencing costs before a site visit?
Yes — if you send us a few photos of your garden, rough measurements, the number of corners or changes in direction, and the style of fence you have in mind, we can usually provide an approximate estimate. This gives you a useful ballpark before deciding whether to proceed. If you're happy to move forward, we’ll then arrange a site visit to confirm everything and provide a full, accurate quote.
-
Can you install or replace a garden gate on its own?
Yes — we regularly install or replace gates as standalone jobs. Whether it’s a back garden gate, side access, or driveway entrance, we can supply and fit a secure, well-built gate that suits your space. We offer a range of timber and metal options, including custom sizes, secure locks, and privacy styles.
-
Do you build custom garden structures like pergolas?
We do. As well as fencing and gates, we design and build bespoke timber structures including pergolas, archways, and screening panels. Everything is made to fit your garden and needs — whether that’s adding shade, privacy, or a smart way to hide bins. Just let us know what you’re after and we’ll bring your ideas to life.
-
How can I dog-proof my garden?
The best way to dog-proof your garden is to install a fence that's high enough to prevent jumping, with no gaps underneath. For small or digging-prone dogs, we recommend gravel boards or concrete bases. We can advise on height, strength, and gate fittings based on your dog's breed and behaviour.
-
What type of fence is best for privacy?
Closeboard fencing is the most popular choice for privacy, as it provides a solid, continuous screen with no gaps. We also install double-slatted or acoustic fencing for extra screening and sound reduction. The right style depends on your garden layout and how much privacy you’re after.
-
What fence is best for windy areas?
In exposed gardens, semi-solid options like Venetian or hit-and-miss fencing allow wind to pass through, reducing pressure and risk of damage. We always ensure posts are securely installed — often using concrete spurs or deeper footings in windy spots.
-
Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
Most domestic fences under 2 metres high do not require planning permission. However, if the fence borders a road or exceeds 2 metres in height, permission may be needed. It’s also wise to check your deeds and speak to neighbours before work begins.
-
How long will my fence last?
We only use high-quality, pressure-treated timber or premium materials like Jacksons and DuraPost. With proper installation and basic maintenance, most of our fences last 15–25 years. We’ll always advise on the best long-term value for your garden and budget.
-
Can you match my existing fence or gate style?
Yes — we regularly match new fencing to existing panels, gates, or neighbouring styles. Just share a photo or let us visit, and we’ll design something that blends in perfectly while still delivering strength and quality.
-
Can I install a gate in my existing fence?
In most cases, yes. We can add a new gate to an existing fence run, as long as the structure is strong enough to support the weight. If needed, we’ll reinforce the area or upgrade the posts to ensure long-term use.
-
How can I make my fence last longer?
Start with quality materials, installed by professionals. Then keep your fence clear of soil build-up and plants that hold moisture. Reapply timber treatments every few years and keep fixings rust-free. We’re always happy to recommend maintenance tips after installation.
-
Can you remove my old fence and take it away?
Yes — we offer full removal and disposal of your old fencing as part of our installation service. We’ll clear the site, remove all waste, and leave everything tidy before we go. It’s all included in your quote, so there are no hidden extras.
