Our Fencing Services

We provide complete fencing solutions from initial consultation through to installation and aftercare. Whether you need new fencing for your entire garden boundary, replacement panels, fence repairs, or specialist fencing for specific purposes, our team has the expertise to deliver exceptional results.

New Fence Installation

Complete fence installations require careful planning and expert execution. We begin by surveying your boundary, discussing your requirements for privacy, security, and aesthetics, and recommending the most suitable fencing options for your property and budget.

Our installation process includes proper ground preparation, secure post installation using concrete footings, precise panel fitting, and professional finishing. We ensure every fence is perfectly level, securely fixed, and built to withstand Hampshire’s weather conditions for many years. Proper installation is crucial for longevity, which is why we never rush the groundwork.

Fence Panel Replacement

Over time, fence panels can deteriorate due to weather exposure or accidental damage. We provide swift fence panel replacement services using quality materials that match your existing fencing or offer an opportunity to upgrade to superior panels. Our team can replace individual damaged panels or complete sections whilst maintaining consistency across your boundary.

Fence Repairs

Storm damage, rotting posts, or general wear can compromise fence integrity. We offer comprehensive fence repair services including post replacement, panel repairs, gravel board replacement, and structural reinforcement. Often, timely repairs can extend the life of your fencing significantly, providing a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement.

Garden Gates

We supply and install garden gates to complement your fencing perfectly. From simple side gates to impressive entrance gates, we offer various styles in timber and metal. All gates are hung properly with quality hinges and fitted with appropriate latches or locks for security and longevity.

Fencing Styles We Offer

Different properties and purposes require different fencing solutions. We offer a comprehensive range of styles to meet every need.

Closeboard Fencing

Closeboard fencing, also known as featheredge fencing, is the premium choice for residential boundaries. Individual vertical boards overlap slightly, creating a robust, attractive fence with excellent privacy and security. This traditional style suits both contemporary and period properties and typically lasts 15-25 years when properly maintained.

We build closeboard fencing using quality timber posts, arris rails, and featheredge boards, with gravel boards at ground level to prevent timber contact with soil. The result is a strong, durable fence that looks magnificent and provides complete privacy.

Fence Panels

Panel fencing offers a cost-effective solution for garden boundaries. We supply and install various panel styles including lap panels, vertical board panels, and decorative designs. Quality varies significantly between budget and premium panels, so we’ll guide you through options explaining the differences in durability and appearance.

For longer-lasting results, we recommend pressure-treated panels from reputable manufacturers. These resist rot and weathering far better than cheaper alternatives, making them better value over time despite higher initial cost.

Picket Fencing

Picket fencing creates charming, traditional boundaries particularly suited to front gardens and cottage-style properties. The open design allows visibility whilst defining boundaries clearly. We offer various picket styles from simple pointed tops to more decorative designs, all carefully installed for perfect alignment and spacing.

Picket fencing works beautifully combined with planting, perhaps with climbing roses or other plants growing through the fence to create quintessentially English garden boundaries.

Hit and Miss Fencing

Hit and miss fencing features vertical boards arranged alternately on each side of horizontal rails, creating a semi-private fence that allows airflow whilst restricting direct views. This style is excellent for locations needing ventilation, such as bin storage areas, or where you want partial screening without complete enclosure.

Trellis Fencing

Trellis provides decorative screening and is ideal as a support for climbing plants. We install trellis as standalone fencing, as trellis toppers to increase fence height, or as garden features. Square or diamond patterns are available in various sizes to suit different aesthetic preferences and climbing plant requirements.

Post and Rail Fencing

Simple post and rail fencing defines boundaries without creating visual barriers. This agricultural-style fencing suits rural properties, paddocks, or large gardens where open boundaries are preferred. We build post and rail fencing using durable timber posts and rails, securely installed for long-term performance.

Contemporary Fencing

Modern properties often benefit from contemporary fencing designs. We offer sleek horizontal board fencing, composite panels that never need treating, and custom designs incorporating different materials and styles. Contemporary fencing emphasises clean lines and architectural appeal whilst providing excellent functionality.

Fencing Materials

Material selection significantly impacts fence appearance, longevity, and maintenance requirements. We’ll guide you through the options to help you choose appropriately.

Pressure-Treated Timber

Pressure-treated softwood provides excellent durability at reasonable cost. The treatment process forces preservative deep into the timber, protecting against rot and insect damage. Quality pressure-treated fencing typically lasts 15-20 years with minimal maintenance beyond occasional re-staining for aesthetic purposes.

Cedar Fencing

Western Red Cedar offers natural beauty and superior durability. Cedar contains natural oils that resist decay and insect damage, and it weathers to an attractive silvery-grey patina if left untreated, or maintains rich colour with occasional treatment. Cedar fencing is a premium option that can last 25-30 years.

Oak Fencing

For the ultimate in longevity and appearance, oak fencing is unsurpassed. English or European oak is incredibly durable, lasting 50+ years even in ground contact. Oak fencing suits period properties beautifully and represents genuine investment in lasting quality, though initial costs are significantly higher than other timber options.

Composite Fencing

Composite materials combine wood fibres with plastics to create maintenance-free fencing that never needs painting or treating. Available in various colours and styles, composite fencing suits contemporary properties and clients wanting zero-maintenance boundaries. Initial costs are higher, but lifetime costs are lower due to eliminated maintenance.

Boundary Fencing Considerations

Installing boundary fencing involves several important considerations beyond simply choosing a style.

Boundary Ownership and Rights

Before installing fencing, it’s essential to establish boundary ownership. We recommend checking your property deeds and discussing plans with neighbours to avoid disputes. In most cases, fencing can be installed on your side of the boundary without requiring neighbour permission, though maintaining good relationships makes projects proceed more smoothly.

Planning Permissions and Regulations

Most domestic fencing doesn’t require planning permission, but there are exceptions. Fencing over 2 metres high, or over 1 metre high adjacent to highways, may require approval. Listed buildings and conservation areas have additional restrictions. We’re familiar with local regulations and can advise on compliance.

Ground Conditions

Soil type and ground conditions affect installation methods. Clay soils require deeper post holes, whilst sandy soils may need additional concrete. We assess ground conditions and adapt our installation approach accordingly to ensure maximum stability and longevity.

Levels and Slopes

Sloping ground requires stepped or raked fencing to maintain appropriate heights. We carefully plan installations on slopes to ensure fencing follows the ground naturally whilst maintaining structural integrity and appearance.

Fencing Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends fence life significantly. We provide guidance on caring for your new fencing.

Timber Fencing Care

Pressure-treated timber fencing requires minimal maintenance, though applying wood stain or preservative every 2-3 years maintains appearance and extends life. We recommend using quality exterior wood treatments suitable for the timber type. Keep vegetation cut back from fence bases to promote air circulation and prevent premature rotting.

Regular Inspections

Annually inspect fencing for loose panels, damaged boards, or rotting posts. Early intervention prevents minor issues becoming major problems. We offer maintenance services if you’d prefer professional care for your fencing.

Weather Protection

Whilst all our fencing is built to withstand British weather, you can extend life by ensuring gravel boards are in good condition (they protect main fence boards from ground moisture) and keeping fence bases clear of debris and vegetation.

Combining Fencing with Other Landscaping

Fencing works beautifully as part of comprehensive garden improvements. Many clients combine new fencing with other landscaping elements to create complete outdoor transformations.

Consider coordinating new fencing with garden design to ensure cohesive results. Paving and patios can complement fencing materials and colours. Planting softens fencing and integrates it into the garden beautifully.

For complete privacy, combine fencing with strategic planting of evergreen shrubs. For front gardens, coordinating fencing style with driveway materials creates excellent kerb appeal. Garden walls can incorporate fencing panels for varied boundary treatments.

Fencing for Different Property Types

Different properties have different fencing requirements. Our experience spans all property types.

Period Properties

Period homes often suit traditional fencing styles like closeboard, picket, or oak fencing. We select materials and designs that complement architectural character whilst providing required functionality.

Modern Properties

Contemporary homes benefit from clean-lined fencing designs. Horizontal board fencing, composite panels, or minimalist designs complement modern architecture beautifully.

Rural Properties

Countryside locations may require different approaches, perhaps combining traditional post and rail fencing with more substantial boundaries around immediate garden areas. We understand rural fencing needs including livestock considerations.

Urban Gardens

Urban properties often prioritise privacy and security. We install robust fencing that provides complete screening whilst maximising limited space and complying with any relevant planning restrictions.
