Most of the garden fencing we do in Sparkhill is for Victorian terraces and bay-fronted houses, where the back garden is small to medium and every panel matters. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing, replace rotten posts, and hang gates. When the new fence is up, the old one is taken away so you are not left with a pile in the corner.
A tidy fence makes a small garden feel more private and more finished. We can also deal with an overgrown hedge or a leaning tree on the boundary at the same time. We also cover Hall Green and Small Heath, so if you are nearby, just ask.
Many Sparkhill houses have a narrow passage down the side, and that shapes how a fencing job is done. Panels, posts and bags of concrete or postcrete all have to be carried through by hand, so we plan the delivery and the order of work before we begin. It is a slower way to work than a wide-open garden, but it is perfectly manageable.
Because the passage is tight, we also think about where the old fence goes. Rotten panels are broken down and carried out through the same route, and we keep the path clear as we go so nobody is tripping over offcuts. If a side gate is part of the job, we hang it so it swings freely and latches properly, even on a narrow opening between the house wall and the neighbour.
In a Sparkhill terrace, the neighbours are close and the garden is short, so privacy is often the main reason people replace a fence. Close-board fencing gives a solid, upright screen, while panel fencing is quicker to fit and sits well along a longer run. We will talk through which suits your boundary, how you use the garden, and how much light you want to keep.
Where the ground is damp or uneven, a gravel board along the bottom keeps the timber off the soil, which is where most fences begin to fail. Posts are set firmly so the fence stays upright in wind. If a trellis topper would add height without blocking light, we can talk about that, but check the height limits with the council first.
In a row of terraces, one fence often serves two gardens, so it is sensible to have a friendly word with the neighbours in Sparkhill before the work begins. Agree who owns which side, where the line runs, and whether you are happy to replace the whole stretch together. We are glad to walk the boundary with you and mark what needs doing.
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.

Yes. We carry the posts, panels and materials through by hand and plan the order of work to suit the space. It takes a little more care than an open garden, and the old fence is carried out the same way and taken away.
It is a good idea. Check who owns the boundary, tell your neighbours what you plan, and agree the line. We can talk through the usual height limits with you, and it is worth checking with the council if you want the fence taller.
Close-board is sturdier and gives a solid, upright screen, which suits a small garden where privacy matters. Panel fencing is quicker and easier to carry through narrow access. We can look at your boundary and advise which makes more sense.
