The right scope

Fencing for your home

A fence defines a boundary, provides privacy and changes how a garden is used. Replacing broken panels is only one part of the decision: posts, ground conditions, height changes and access points also influence the result. Looking at the whole run helps avoid installing new panels into a support system that is no longer sound.

Fencing work is useful when storm damage has weakened a boundary, posts are loose or a garden layout needs updating. It also matters during wider outdoor work, when decking, paths or gates need to meet the fence sensibly. Tell us what you want to screen and which routes must remain clear.

Our approach is to discuss the boundary and the proposed scope before materials are selected. We can coordinate fencing with other agreed building or carpentry work. General works carry a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and we explain the relevant installation scope rather than promise that outdoor materials will never weather.

Avoid the wrong repair

What needs attention before work starts

A leaning fence may have a post or footing problem rather than a panel problem. Replacing only the visible damaged section can leave the new materials attached to a weak support. Wind exposure and the condition along the rest of the run should be considered before deciding how much to replace.

Working to an assumed boundary can create disagreement with neighbours. Ownership, line and permissions should be clarified by the homeowner before installation. Ground services and changes in level also need consideration so posts are not positioned solely by the easiest visible route.

Our process

From first conversation to completion

  1. Step 1

    Discuss the problem and visit

    Start by telling us what you need from fencing, where the property is and what has prompted the enquiry. Describe the symptoms or the changes you want, rather than feeling you need to diagnose the job yourself. Photos and existing plans can support the conversation, but a visit helps put the work in context. We look at access, the visible condition and the surrounding areas that may be affected. If additional specialist assessment or design is needed, that should be identified before the construction scope is settled.

  2. Step 2

    Define the scope and free quote

    We discuss the proposed work, the intended result and the choices that affect the quote. For fencing, that includes fence length and height, ground conditions, post type, removal of old materials, access and the agreed boundary line. The quote is free and carries no obligation. Ask which materials, preparation, installation and making-good tasks are included so you can compare like for like. If a product or further information is still undecided, clarify it before committing. There is no fixed price list on this page because your property's requirements need to be assessed rather than guessed.

  3. Step 3

    Agree dates and the trade sequence

    A small deposit secures your dates, and larger projects use stage payments as the work progresses. We discuss the sequence around the agreed scope, access and other trades. Building and plumbing are managed within one company; electrical work is coordinated through our dedicated partner. Where gas work is required, it is subcontracted. Tell us if you live in the property, need a particular route kept clear or have limited delivery space so the practical arrangements can be considered before work starts.

  4. Step 4

    Carry out the agreed work and check it

    The work follows the agreed fencing scope and the information available for your property. If something unexpected is uncovered, discuss its effect on the plan before assuming it belongs in the original price. Checks depend on the task: an installation, repair and structural change do not have identical verification requirements. The relevant trade considers the operation, connections or completed work within its scope. Where a product has instructions or the project requires particular documentation, those should be discussed as part of the handover.

  5. Step 5

    Walk through the result and guarantee

    At completion, we walk through the finished job with you and make sure you are happy with the agreed result. Use this conversation to raise questions about operation, care and any follow-up work. General works carry a 1-year workmanship guarantee. We discuss the agreed scope and distinguish workmanship cover from any separate product terms. Keep the agreed scope and any supplied product information so the distinction between the work and manufacturer terms stays clear. If an emergency visit only makes a situation safe, the permanent repair or making good should be discussed separately rather than treated as already completed.

A more considered job

Practical benefits, not vague promises

A scope you can make a decision on

A free quote for fencing lets you understand the proposed work before committing. Defining fence length and height, ground conditions, post type, removal of old materials, access and the agreed boundary line helps distinguish essential work from optional choices and avoids comparing prices that cover different tasks.

Fewer disconnected trade decisions

Building and plumbing sit within the same company, with electrical work coordinated through a longstanding partner. Where the job crosses those trades, the sequence can be discussed together instead of leaving the homeowner to resolve incompatible plans after work has begun.

Attention to what sits behind the finish

The visible result is only part of fencing. Existing condition, access and the relationship with adjoining work influence reliability. An assessment helps identify those questions early, rather than treating a new surface or fitting as proof that every underlying issue has been resolved.

Clearer care and next steps

Knowing what was done, what needs maintaining and which guarantee applies makes the completed work easier to look after. We distinguish installation workmanship from product terms and avoid a blanket promise that every material or component will perform identically for a fixed number of years.

Planning your fencing work

Panels, closeboard and privacy

Panel arrangements and closeboard-style fencing offer different appearances and ways of dealing with changes in level. The right choice depends on the boundary, privacy required and exposure. Discuss the intended height, any gaps at the ground and the finish you expect so the proposed construction matches the garden rather than just a catalogue photograph.

Posts, ground conditions and supports

The posts and their support are central to a stable fence. Existing concrete, roots, uneven ground or restricted access can affect the work. We discuss the visible site conditions, the proposed post material and the removal of old supports. These factors need to be included in the scope instead of being treated as incidental extras.

Gates and adjoining outdoor work

A gate needs an opening that works with the path, ground level and intended use. Think about bins, gardening equipment and maintenance access as well as people. Where fencing meets decking or other building work, agreeing the junctions and sequence avoids awkward gaps and makes the boundary more coherent.

Your questions

Fencing FAQs

How much does fencing cost in Sidcup?

The cost depends on fence length and height, ground conditions, post type, removal of old materials, access and the agreed boundary line. We do not give an invented starting price because that could exclude work your property actually needs. A free, no-obligation quote is the appropriate next step. Describe the problem or proposed change and any products you have already chosen so we can discuss a defined scope. Comparing the included work, rather than only the total figure, helps you make a more informed decision.

How long will the fencing work take?

The timetable depends on the agreed scope, access, existing condition and any product or specialist requirements. We discuss dates and the sequence after assessing the job rather than promise a standard duration for every property. Tell us about any deadline and whether the home will remain occupied. Emergency attendance is a separate matter: we typically attend within 2 hours, never more than 4, but attendance does not guarantee that every repair is completed within that period.

What should I prepare before requesting a quote?

Tell us the property location, what you want to change or repair and when you first noticed the issue. Relevant photos, product details and existing drawings can help, but do not dismantle anything or enter an unsafe area to obtain them. For fencing, it is especially useful to explain the intended outcome and what needs to remain usable while work takes place. We can then discuss the visit and any additional information needed to define the scope.

What guarantee applies to this service?

General works carry a 1-year workmanship guarantee. We discuss the agreed scope and distinguish workmanship cover from any separate product terms. A guarantee is not a substitute for following the care requirements of the installed materials or equipment. Product warranties vary and must be checked against the actual supplied product; we do not invent their duration. Ask about the relevant scope when the quote is discussed, particularly where a project combines general building work with a new roof or replacement doors and windows.

How long should the completed fencing last?

Fence life varies with exposure, ground contact, timber treatment, fixings and upkeep. A sheltered panel and a wind-exposed boundary do not face the same demands, so there is no responsible one-size-fits-all lifespan. During the quote and handover, ask about the particular materials, expected care and signs that deserve attention. Keeping maintenance access available and responding promptly to faults can help protect adjoining work. We avoid a blanket lifetime promise because a repair, replacement product and wider building alteration have different conditions and responsibilities.

Are emergency visits available outside normal hours?

Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with typical emergency attendance within 2 hours and no more than 4. Call to describe the urgent situation rather than assume every planned building task is an emergency repair. If there is immediate danger, suspected gas escape or another serious hazard, contact the appropriate emergency service first. Any immediate make-safe work and subsequent permanent repair should be distinguished clearly.

Do you cover Sidcup and the surrounding areas?

We are based in Sidcup and cover Bexleyheath, Welling, Kidbrooke, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Orpington, Dartford, Gravesend, Eltham, Bexley, Bromley, Crayford, Erith, Swanley. Tell us the property location when you enquire so the work can be discussed in context. The same first step applies locally: explain what you need, arrange the assessment and receive a free quote for the agreed scope. We do not invent area-specific travel charges or arrival estimates for planned work.

Who handles other trades and how are payments arranged?

Building and plumbing are in-house trades. George has 17 years of plumbing and heating experience and Jake has 20 years of building experience. Electrical work is carried out through a dedicated partner company we have worked with for over 10 years; gas work is subcontracted. A small deposit secures dates and larger projects are paid in stages. Discuss the actual stages and trade scope with the quote rather than assume a standard percentage or payment schedule.
