A good fence in Oldbury does three jobs at once: it keeps your garden private, it keeps it secure and it makes the whole property look cared for. We build new garden fences, replace failing panels and posts, and fit gates that shut properly. Whether your house is a terrace, an inter-war semi or on a newer estate, we aim to leave a boundary that is straight, solid and easy to live with.
We cover Oldbury from our base in Hall Green, and we also work in Smethwick and Tividale. The notes below explain how we plan a fencing job, so you know what happens before, during and after we arrive.
For many Oldbury households the main reason for a new fence is security. A broken panel or a loose gate gives an easy way in and lets pets out. We look at the weak points first: rotten post bases, gaps at ground level, latches that no longer catch. A fence is only as secure as its weakest section, so we replace the parts that matter rather than just covering them up.
Privacy matters just as much on streets where houses sit close together. Close-board fencing gives a dense, solid screen between gardens and looks neat from both sides. Panel fencing gives similar cover at a more modest scale and is simpler to replace if one section is ever damaged. We talk through the height you want, and check what is sensible for your plot.
Gardens in Oldbury range from small terrace yards to the larger plots on inter-war roads, and the fence needs to suit the space. In a compact garden a tall, heavy fence can make everything feel boxed in, so we may suggest a slightly lower run or a panel style that lets in more light. In a larger garden there is more room to go for height.
Ground levels vary too, and many gardens slope or step down. We set the posts so the fence follows the ground neatly instead of leaving big gaps below the panels. Where mature trees or the green space near Warley Woods drop leaves and branches over a garden, we choose posts and boards that will stand up to the damp, and we keep the lowest board clear of the soil so that leaf litter cannot sit against it.
Before we start in Oldbury, we suggest agreeing the boundary with your neighbour and checking fence height limits with the council. On the day we remove the old fence, set the posts, fit gravel boards and hang the panels and gate. We clear the old timber away at the end, so your garden is left looking tidy, with a solid new boundary and no leftover mess.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.

Usually, yes. We can hang a new gate in the existing run, provided the posts either side are firm. If they are not, we will replace them so the gate does not drop or drag. We will size it to the opening and fit a latch that shuts securely.
You need to deal with the hedge as well as the fence. We can trim it back hard or remove it, then fit the new fence on a clear line. That way the panels are not pushed out of shape by growth leaning on them.
Yes. Taking the old fence away is part of the job, so you will not have to arrange a skip or find somewhere to stack the old panels and posts. We leave the garden clear when we finish.
