Droitwich has period houses in the older streets, newer estates around them and larger gardens on the village edge, so fence jobs come in several shapes. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing, replace rotten posts and broken panels, hang gates and clear the old fence away once the new boundary is built.
Many gardens here run out to field hedges or sit near the canals, which brings wind, damp and plenty of growth. We build with that in mind. If you would like a hand choosing between styles, we can talk through the options. We also work in Stoke Prior and Ombersley.
On the newer Droitwich estates, gardens are often smaller and fences are shared with neighbours on both sides, sometimes with several different owners along one run. That makes it worth checking who is responsible for which section before anyone picks up a hammer, particularly if a neighbour has already replaced their own stretch. We are happy to replace your side and match the height and finish.
Estate fencing is frequently ordinary panels on thin posts that have started to wobble after a few winters. Replacing the posts with sturdier ones, and fitting gravel boards underneath, often turns a tired fence into a solid one without changing the style at all. Larger repairs can be done in stages if neighbours want to share work, which spreads the effort without leaving a mismatched line.
Older houses in Droitwich tend to have bigger, more irregular gardens, and the boundaries can be a mix of brick, hedge and timber. A new fence here should sit comfortably with what is already there. We aim for a plain, well-finished line, and we match heights where the old boundary meets walls or gate piers, so the transition looks deliberate rather than patched.
Where the garden is large, close-board is a dependable choice because it is strong over a long run and gives good privacy. We set the posts firmly, keep the spacing even and fit gravel boards to protect the bottom edge. Gates are fitted to suit, whether for people, bins or a wheelbarrow route to the back, and we hang them level so they close without catching.
Gardens on the Droitwich edge often back on to field hedges, and canal-side plots can stay damp for months. We cut back hedge growth that presses on the boundary and use gravel boards where soil stays wet. Please agree the line with your neighbours and check height limits with the council before building. It all makes the finished fence last.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Usually yes, if the fence is yours to replace. We can build your side to match the height and look of the existing boundary. Talk to your neighbour first so they know what is happening, especially if the posts are shared.
A strong close-board with firmly set posts is sensible where wind comes across open ground. We also trim back any hedge growth that presses on the boards, so the fence does not get pushed or trapped by branches.
Yes. Damp ground is hard on timber, so we lift panels off the soil with gravel boards and set the posts firmly. We can also clear overgrowth along the boundary before building, so the new fence is easy to look after.
