Garden fencing marks your boundary, gives privacy and helps keep pets, children and unwanted visitors where they should be. We fit new fences and replace tired panels and posts, using close-board and panel styles, with gravel boards at the base and gates where you need access. The old fence is taken away, so you are not left with a pile of rotten timber.
We work from Hall Green, Birmingham, and cover Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and north Worcestershire. Some jobs are a single storm-damaged panel, others are a full run along the back and sides of a garden. Either way, the aim is a straight, firm fence that suits the space and the way you use it.
Fences rarely fail all at once. Usually a post rots at the base, a panel starts to lean, or a gust of wind finally takes out a section that has been loose for a while. If the posts are sound, replacing panels may be enough. If several posts are soft or the line has drifted, it is usually better to redo the whole run properly rather than keep patching it.
Other reasons to call are less urgent. You might want more privacy than a low fence gives, a taller boundary to contain a dog, or a new gate to reach the side of the house. A new garden layout or extension can also leave a gap that needs closing off cleanly, with the fence tied in neatly to what is already there. Whatever the reason, we will tell you what suits the site.
We look at the job first: the length of the run, the ground, the line of the old fence and any trees, hedges or levels in the way. We explain what we would do, which style suits the site, and how posts, rails, panels and gravel boards would go together, so you can make a clear decision before we begin any work. If the ground is uneven or the boundary line is awkward, we point that out at this stage and explain how we would deal with it.
On the day we take out the old fence, set the new posts firmly, fit the panels or boards and hang any gates. Gravel boards keep the timber off damp soil, which helps the fence stand up to the weather. Waste is cleared away and the garden is left tidy. Where a hedge or tree along the boundary is in the way, we can deal with that first.
Many gardens here are long and narrow, with fence lines running a good distance. Inter-war semis often have plenty of boundary to cover, while Victorian terraces have short, tight runs where privacy matters most. On sloping ground, panels have to be stepped or the ground dealt with so the line stays neat and no gaps open up underneath the boards. Wind can also be a factor in open or exposed gardens, so sturdy posts matter.
Before work starts, agree the boundary with your neighbours, especially if the fence is shared or the line is unclear. It is also worth checking fence height limits with the council, because front boundaries and some areas, including conservation areas, can be more restricted. Think about access for panels and whether anything must be moved out of the way first. Taller fences also affect how much light reaches the border beside them, which is worth considering.

Yes. The old panels, posts and fixings are taken away as part of the job. If the new fence is going on the same line, we remove what is there, deal with old post holes and set new posts firmly, then leave the boundary clear and tidy.
Often we can, provided the posts are still sound. If the posts are rotten or loose, new panels on bad posts will not last, so we would tell you honestly and suggest replacing the posts as well. We will explain what we find before any work begins.
Height limits depend on where the fence sits and on the local area. Rear garden boundaries usually allow more than the front, but it is worth checking with the council before you commit, especially in a conservation area. We are happy to talk through what you are planning.
Ownership is not always obvious, and it varies from property to property. Check your deeds if you can, and talk to your neighbours before work starts so the boundary line and any shared costs are agreed. Good communication avoids awkward disagreements once the new fence is up.
