Fencing & garden walls
Fences and walls that stay standing.
New boundaries, replacement fence lines, gates and brick garden walls. Set out straight, dug in deep and built for East Anglian weather.
Fencing & Garden Walls
A secure boundary, done properly.
Most fences fail at the bottom, not the top. Posts that are too shallow, timber sitting in wet soil, or panels with nothing to stop them rocking in the wind. We build from the ground up so your fence stays straight and secure.
We take out the old fence first, clear back any growth along the line and take all of it away with us. Then the new posts go in, set in concrete, and the panels or boards go up.
- Closeboard (featheredge) and panel fencing
- Slotted concrete posts and gravel boards, or timber posts
- Picket, post and rail and trellis toppers
- Timber field gates, side gates and garden gates
- Brick garden walls, piers and boundary walls
- Removal and disposal of the old fence
Concrete posts and gravel boards
The detail
How we do it.
The parts of the job that don’t show in the photos, but make all the difference over time.
Set out straight
We string the line and check boundaries with you before a single hole is dug, so the fence goes exactly where it should.
Posts set in concrete
Every post is dug to a proper depth and concreted in, then checked for plumb before it goes off.
Off the ground
Gravel boards keep the panels and boards out of the wet soil. It is one of the simplest ways to make a fence last longer.
Gates that close
Gate posts are heavier and set deeper, and hung with the right hardware so the gate shuts cleanly and doesn’t drop.
Walls on footings
Garden and boundary walls go up on a proper concrete footing, with coping to keep the water out of the brickwork.
Old fence taken away
The old panels, posts and concrete come out and leave with us. No pile left at the side of the house.

Questions
Fencing & Garden Walls: FAQs

For most garden boundaries we recommend slotted concrete posts with concrete gravel boards. They won’t rot, and if a panel is ever damaged it simply slides out and a new one slides in. Timber posts suit some styles better, such as closeboard on arris rails or post and rail, and we are happy to use them.
In most cases no. Under permitted development you can usually put up a fence or wall up to 2 metres high, or up to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles (or the footpath beside it). Listed buildings, conservation areas and some new-build estates have extra rules, so check with your council if that applies. We can talk this through with you when we visit.
Yes. If the posts are sound we can swap damaged panels or boards. If the posts are going, we will tell you honestly, as new panels on failing posts rarely last.
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old fence, posts and any concrete is included in the quote.
