Fencing Designed Around Your Property

Every garden and boundary is different. The right fencing depends on the size and condition of the area, the level of privacy required, the surrounding ground and the style of the property.

Before work begins, the boundary should be inspected carefully so the installation can be planned correctly. Important considerations include:

The length and height of the proposed fence

The condition of existing posts, panels and foundations

Ground levels and drainage

Access to the garden

Trees, walls, sheds and other nearby structures

The location of gates and pathways

The amount of privacy or security required

The preferred fencing style and materials

Taking the time to assess these details helps create a fence that suits the garden and provides a neat, secure finish.

Timber Fence Panel Installation

Timber fencing remains one of the most popular choices for residential gardens across Merseyside. It provides privacy, defines the garden boundary and works well with many different types of property.

We can install a range of timber fencing styles, including traditional closeboard panels, overlap panels, decorative panels and contemporary designs.

Traditional timber panels are a practical choice for many gardens. Decorative or horizontal fencing can provide a more modern appearance, while taller solid panels can offer increased privacy.

The most appropriate option will depend on the intended use of the fence, the desired appearance and the available budget.

Concrete Posts and Gravel Boards

Concrete posts and gravel boards can provide a strong and practical foundation for a new fence.

Concrete posts are resistant to rot at ground level and can offer reliable support for timber panels. Slotted posts also allow individual panels to be removed and replaced more easily if they become damaged.

Concrete gravel boards sit beneath the timber panels and prevent the bottom of the wood from resting directly against damp soil. They can also help retain small differences in ground level and create a clean finish along the bottom of the fence.

A typical installation may include:

Timber fence panels

Slotted concrete posts

Concrete gravel boards

Secure post foundations

Carefully levelled sections

Matching timber or concrete finishing details

This combination is particularly useful for exposed gardens, busy family homes and properties where a durable, low-maintenance boundary is required.

Timber Posts and Closeboard Fencing

Timber posts may be preferred where the customer wants a completely wooden appearance. They can work particularly well with traditional closeboard fencing and custom-built boundary designs.

Closeboard fencing is normally constructed using vertical timber boards fixed to horizontal rails. This creates a solid, continuous fence that can be adapted to suit changes in ground level.

It is a popular option for customers who want:

Strong garden boundaries

Increased privacy

A traditional timber finish

Fencing built to fit the exact space

Greater flexibility on sloping or uneven ground

Correct post positioning and secure foundations are important for any timber-post installation.

New Garden Gates

A new fence installation can also include a matching garden or side gate.

A properly fitted gate should open smoothly, close securely and match the height and style of the surrounding fence. Gates can be built for pedestrian access, side passages, garden entrances and wider access points.

Depending on the project, gate installation may include:

Timber garden gates

Side-access gates

Driveway gates

Custom-sized gates

Hinges, latches and bolts

Gate posts and support framework

Matching fence panels

Including the gate as part of the overall fencing project helps produce a more consistent and professional result.

Replacing Damaged or Storm-Affected Fencing

Strong winds and wet weather can cause fence panels to loosen, posts to lean and old timber to deteriorate. In some cases, only a few sections need replacing. In others, repeated damage may show that the posts or foundations are no longer strong enough.

We can assess damaged fencing and recommend whether repair or full replacement is the better option.

Work may involve:

Replacing broken panels

Removing rotten timber posts

Installing new concrete or timber posts

Replacing damaged gravel boards

Realigning leaning fence sections

Installing stronger replacement fencing

Repairing or replacing damaged gates

Where possible, the replacement sections can be selected to match the existing fence.

The Fence Installation Process

A professional fencing project normally involves several stages.

Initial assessment

The existing boundary is inspected and the customer’s requirements are discussed. Measurements are taken, access is checked and the preferred fence style is agreed.

Removal of old fencing

Old panels, posts and damaged materials are carefully removed. The working area is cleared so the new installation can be set out correctly.

Setting out the boundary

The proposed fence line is measured and marked. Post positions are planned so the panels are evenly spaced and the finished fence follows the correct boundary.

Installing posts

Post holes are prepared and the posts are installed securely. Care is taken to ensure that each post is correctly positioned, level and aligned with the rest of the fence.

Fitting gravel boards and panels

Gravel boards and fence panels are fitted between the posts. Each section is checked to create a consistent height and neat finish.

Installing gates and finishing details

Any gates, latches, caps and finishing components are added. The installation is then inspected and the working area is tidied.

Choosing the Right Fence Height

The correct height depends on the position of the fence, the amount of privacy required and any planning restrictions.

In England, a fence next to a highway used by vehicles, including the footpath of that highway, will normally need planning permission if it exceeds one metre. Elsewhere, permission is generally required if it exceeds two metres. Different requirements may apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, planning conditions or properties affected by an Article 4 direction. Customers should check with their local planning authority when uncertain.

It is also sensible to confirm the exact boundary and discuss the work with neighbours before replacing a shared boundary fence.

Why Replace an Old Garden Fence?

A new fence can provide several practical improvements:

Greater privacy from neighbouring properties

A safer space for children and pets

Better protection for plants and garden features

Improved security around side and rear access

A cleaner, more attractive garden

Clearer property boundaries

Fewer ongoing repairs

A coordinated appearance with new gates and landscaping

Replacing worn or mismatched fencing can make a significant difference to the overall appearance of an outdoor space.

Residential and Commercial Fence Installation

Our fencing services are suitable for a variety of properties, including:

Private homes

Rental properties

Landlord and letting-agent projects

Gardens and side passages

Shops and offices

Storage and service areas

Commercial premises

Schools and community spaces

Small development sites

The fencing specification should always reflect how the area will be used. A decorative garden fence may be suitable for a residential property, while a commercial boundary may require a stronger or more secure system.
