    Fencing / Gates

    Posted 1 day ago

    Ghosted me and took my money.

    I would not recommend Ben. The fencing work was left incomplete despite me paying more than originally agreed before completion. Communication was poor, with repeated excuses for delays, before he stopped responding altogether. The workmanship was below standard, with loose fence posts, incomplete work and incorrectly fitted gravel boards. The rear gate and side gate were never supplied, leaving me to pay another contractor to complete and rectify the work. Overall, I have been left out of pocket, frustrated, and with an unfinished project.

    Close Board Fencing

    Posted 11 June

    Fence replacement for collapsed wall

    The work, 22m of close boarded panels on concrete posts, boarded both sides, exceeded expectations. Everything was carried out promptly, despite rain and hail. In addition to the fencing work, the adjacent old wall ends were repaired and repointed. Additional concrete gravel boards to close a slight gap beneath the fence were provided at no extra cost. The ground adjacent was made good with shingles. We, and our contributing neighbours, are very pleased with the work.

    Fencing Repair / Replacement

    Posted 23 May

    Fence replacement

    We recently had our back garden fence replaced and they did a fantastic job. Everything was completed to a high standard, and the garden was left tidy afterwards. I would highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we needed any help in the future.

As a fencer I have dedicated 15 years to the trade, before this being my main trade I was a skilled labourer around the trades before choosing this as my chosen profession. I am a landscaper and can tackle any issues in the garden but fencing is this company's heart and soul.


As a sole trader I have competitive prices and the job always has a professional finish to the highest standard.


We stick to the price of the quotation (not including additional extras) this means what it says on the quote is what it will be unless you like more work carried out.


The timber we use is pre-treated and will last at least 20 years (will last for longer if you opt for gravel boards).


and finally, we offer a 3-year guarantee on all work that takes place.


Kind regards,

Ben The Fencer
