Sutton Coldfield is known for large detached houses with generous gardens, and that means a lot of boundary to look after. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing, replace tired posts and panels, and hang gates for side access and driveways. Whatever the old fence was made of, we take it away when the new one is finished.
Tall hedges, mature oaks and conifers are part of the character here, and they often run along the same line as the fence. We can look at the hedge and trees alongside the fencing so the work is planned as one job. We also cover Four Oaks and Mere Green.
The gardens in Sutton Coldfield are often deep and wide, so a single boundary can run for a long way, and every post along it has to do its share. We set posts firmly and at even spacing, string the line first so it runs true, and hang the boards or panels level across the top, even where the ground rises or falls underneath.
On a long run it is worth deciding early whether to replace everything or only the failing stretches. We walk the boundary with you and mark what is sound and what is not. Often a few rotten posts are the real problem, and fixing those is a smaller job than renewing the lot, while the rest of the fence carries on doing its work. You then decide with the facts in front of you.
Leafy Sutton Coldfield means plenty of mature trees and tall hedges tight against the boundary. Roots make digging awkward, and a big conifer leaning on old panels is a common reason they fail. Where it suits you, we can cut back or remove the hedge or trees along the line before the new fence is built. That keeps the boundary line clear and the new fence easier to build.
Doing the clearing first keeps the job tidy. The posts go into open ground and the fence is not squeezed by growth next season. If you would rather keep a hedge for its wildlife and screening, we can set the fence slightly inside it and show you where the line would fall before we start digging. Either way, you will know the plan before any post is dug.
Parts of Sutton Coldfield sit within conservation areas, and taller fences at the front or side can need a closer look. Before any work, agree the boundary with neighbours and check height limits with the council. If you are unsure whether your plot has extra rules, ask the council first, and we will build to whatever you confirm.
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.

It can depend on the height and where the fence sits, especially near a road or in a conservation area. We would always suggest checking the height limits with the council before you order anything, and we will then build to the line you confirm.
Often yes, though the trees need thought. We can cut back or remove conifers on your side of the boundary first, or set the fence slightly inside them. We will show you the options and explain how the posts would sit before work begins.
We hang timber side gates and garden gates to match the new fence, with posts set firmly so they swing freely and latch well. For larger driveway gates or any powered gate, it is better to speak to us first so we can say what we can do.
