CHOOSING YOUR FENCE
Find the right fit for your garden.
Closeboard is often chosen for a solid, private boundary; panels for a practical, economical installation; feather edge for a traditional finish; and slatted fencing for a more contemporary design. The final choice also depends on the boundary, exposure, access and your budget.
How we approach installation
- Assess the boundary and remove old fencing if required.
- Position and install posts with suitable depth and support for the ground conditions.
- Fit boards or panels, checking alignment, levels and secure fixings.
- Finish the run and check the completed installation.
Stable posts and appropriate groundwork are central to a fence that performs well over time, particularly in exposed gardens.

THE WIDER PROJECT
Fencing and landscaping together.
Boundary work can be planned with other changes to your outdoor space.
What affects the cost?
The length and height of the fence, material, posts, access, ground conditions and removal of old fencing all affect the quotation. We can assess the site and explain the proposed work before you decide.
How long will it last?
A timber fence can last around 10–20 years, but the actual lifespan depends on the timber, treatment, installation, exposure and maintenance. We can talk through suitable materials for your setting.
Can you repair a fence?
Yes. Tell us which posts, panels or boards are damaged and we can advise whether repair or replacement is more appropriate.

Match the boundary to its purpose
Privacy, enclosure and appearance are different reasons for installing a fence. Closeboard and feather edge create a boarded boundary; panel fencing offers ready-made sections; slatted designs give a different balance between screening and openness. Consider the view from both sides and the setting before deciding.
The condition of the posts is as important as the visible panels. A leaning run, failed fixing or damaged board may call for different work. We can discuss repair or replacement after looking at the boundary, access and exposure. Confirm the boundary position and ownership before new posts are set out.
Garden fencing in Swanley: planning your layout
For a Swanley property with a garden improved while household access remains in use, the first question is how the finished area will be used. Trace the actual boundary and identify the privacy gap before choosing a fence style. Show us gates, changes in ground level and any posts that move; these details determine whether repairs or a complete run make sense.
If there is no separate side access, tell us before quoting. The working method and protection will need discussing for the actual route. Include steps, internal turns and any surfaces that need particular care.
What affects the garden fencing quote
Compare quotations by fence length and height, board or panel style, posts, fixings, ground preparation, removal of the old fence and finishing around adjoining gates or walls. Ask what is included at corners and changes of level.
Send the location, approximate measurements and photographs of the existing area. Explain which features must stay and any restricted access. A written scope should identify included work, optional items and assumptions that need checking before the price is agreed.
Questions before you book
Should I repair a fence or replace the whole run?
Repair can make sense when damage is isolated and the remaining posts and sections are serviceable. Repeated movement or widespread deterioration needs a broader assessment. Replacing panels alone will not resolve a failing support system.
Can this be included in a larger garden project?
Yes. Tell us which other improvements you are considering so access, levels and the work sequence can be discussed together. Separate scopes or phases can help you compare the options without losing sight of the complete layout.
