Supply and installation of garden fencing including closeboard, panel, picket, and hit-and-miss styles. Includes post installation, gravel boards, and gate hanging. A new fence instantly improves security, privacy, and kerb appeal.

Supply and fitting of pedestrian and driveway gates in timber, metal, and composite materials. Includes automated electric gate systems with intercom, remote control, and safety features.
Repairing storm-damaged fencing, replacing broken panels, straightening leaning posts, and reinforcing weak sections. Quick repairs prevent further damage and maintain security and property boundaries.
These are the most frequently requested jobs in fencing. Knowing what to expect helps you communicate clearly with professionals.
The most common fencing job — replacing old, rotten, or storm-damaged fence panels and posts. Standard 6ft closeboard or lap panel fencing costs £80-£120 per metre installed. Most garden fences are replaced every 10-20 years depending on material and weather exposure.
Installing fencing along a previously unfenced boundary. Includes marking the boundary line, digging post holes, setting posts in concrete, and fitting panels or boards. A typical garden fence installation takes 1-3 days.
Repairing or replacing panels and posts damaged by high winds. Closeboard fencing handles wind better than panel fencing as wind passes through gaps between the boards. Damaged fence posts should be replaced promptly to prevent further collapse.
Fitting entrance gates for driveways — from simple timber gates to automated electric gates with intercom systems. Automated gates add security, convenience, and significant property value.
Adding trellis panels to the top of existing fences for extra height and privacy, or installing free-standing privacy screens for gardens, patios, and decking areas. Trellis also supports climbing plants for a natural green screen.

Visit QodexChoosing the right professional is important. Here’s what to look for when hiring fencing services.
The quality of timber makes a huge difference to fence lifespan. Ask whether posts are pressure-treated, what guarantee comes with the timber, and whether they use concrete or timber posts. Concrete posts last much longer but cost more.
Before installing or replacing a fence, establish which boundary you own. Check your title deeds or land registry documents. Your fencer should only work within your boundary and be aware of any party wall considerations.
Quotes should detail the fence type, height, post material (timber or concrete), whether gravel boards are included, and the total run in metres. This prevents misunderstandings about what is included.
Rocky, clay, or sloping ground affects installation difficulty and cost. An experienced fencer will assess ground conditions and adjust their approach and pricing accordingly. Stepped or raked panels may be needed on sloping ground.
