Pre-made panels offer a straightforward, often more affordable solution for residential garden boundaries.

Feather edge fencing in Kent
Individual tapered boards form a traditional, robust fence that can be adapted to the line of a boundary.
Good for: Traditional appearance

Horizontal or vertical slats bring a clean, contemporary look. The spacing can be discussed according to the privacy you need.
Good for: Modern garden design

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.
LARGER BOUNDARIES
Commercial and security fencing in Kent.
For business premises or sites with specific security needs, we can discuss the required boundary and confirm the appropriate specification.
Security fencing in Kent
Where greater protection is needed, the fence design should reflect the site, access points and required level of security. Tell us about the property so we can discuss the options.
Commercial fencing in Kent
We can discuss boundaries for business premises, larger outdoor spaces and shared sites, including access, durability and maintenance requirements.
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.
A specification for your Kent property
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.
Kent coverage does not mean every site has the same access, ground or levels. The town pages help you find the relevant services; the specification should follow a survey of the individual property.
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 about garden fencing
Can you keep my existing fence posts?
They may be retained if their condition, stability and dimensions suit the replacement. Show the whole run as well as the damaged section so the quote can distinguish reusable supports from parts needing replacement.
What information is needed to quote for fencing?
Send the length, approximate height, preferred style and photos of both ends and any corners. Include gate openings, sloping ground and access restrictions. Confirm the boundary line and ownership before removal.
How should I care for new timber fencing?
Follow the treatment and cleaning guidance for the supplied timber. Keep soil and accumulated debris from vulnerable areas and inspect fixings and supports periodically. Avoid assuming pressure treatment removes every future maintenance task.
Choose a fence by construction and purpose
Privacy
Compare a site-built closeboard run or suitable panels. Feather edge describes the boards and can appear in either construction.
A decorative boundary
Slatted fencing can frame a seating area, but spacing changes visibility. Check sightlines from neighbouring windows as well as ground level.
A damaged section
Consider repair when the surrounding supports are sound. A new panel alone will not resolve unstable posts or decayed rails.
