Plan garden fencing in Tunbridge Wells for privacy, appearance and useful access. Specify the complete boundary with boards or panels, posts, fixings, gravel boards and gates, and consider targeted repairs where suitable sections remain.
Record corners, openings and level changes along the run. Explain the screening you need and show retained walls, planting and paving. A 30-metre boundary may contain several different sections, so length alone cannot establish its installed scope.
Include height, style and gate requirements with measurements. Photograph working access and the routes for household equipment. These details help plan delivery and removal as well as choose a fence that works with the surrounding garden.
Review supports alongside visible materials
Boards and panels create different appearances and openness. Compare care and exposure alongside style, then specify suitable posts, rails, foundations and fixings. Gate loads and connections to retained structures should form part of that complete proposal.
Assess older supports before deciding only panels need replacing. Repeated movement can require work beyond the most visible damage. Clarify retained and new components and include making good where foundations affect paving or planting.
Check position, height and access arrangements
Use the full official guidance for proposed height or trellis changes and relevant property restrictions. A short two-metre rule does not resolve every boundary location or alteration. Clarify ownership and responsibility before removing existing work.
Arrange agreed access from adjoining property where needed and seek appropriate advice if rights or documents are unclear. Include access assumptions in the installation scope so components are not ordered before the working arrangements are understood.
Compare installation with the repair option
Gates need clear openings, swing, supports, hardware and ground clearance identified early. The dedicated repair page covers damaged panels, posts, rails and gates. A focused repair may retain sound surroundings, while wider deterioration can make replacement worth comparing.
Compare removal, supports, foundations, materials, waste and reinstatement with any quoted metre rate. The Borough Green example documents new closeboard fencing with its actual location stated. It is a reference for materials, rather than evidence of undocumented local repairs.
Agree the complete boundary arrangement
Measure the run in sections, including gates and changes in ground level. Specify the height and components rather than only requesting a panel count. Confirm how the fence meets existing walls, sheds and the next retained section, and whether access is available from both sides.
Compare the proposed style with privacy, appearance and maintenance priorities. Where the boundary is exposed, discuss suitability of the supports and fixings. Identify retained planting and any surface reinstatement around post work. Resolve ownership and working access before removal begins.
What the complete Tunbridge Wells quotation should cover
Use the same agreed scope when comparing proposals. Confirm the materials and work below the visible finish, together with any retained construction. Ask how exclusions or provisional work will be handled and keep the written specification with the quotation.
Measured length, height, style and component specification
Posts, foundations, rails, fixings and gravel boards
Gate openings, posts, hinges, latches and clearances
Removal of the old fence and waste handling
Stepped-ground details, retained sections and site protection
Reinstatement, VAT, exclusions and agreed work access
Photographs, dimensions and access details help define the work. They can start the discussion, with a visit or further assessment where needed. A quoted total is useful when it is clear what the finished result includes.
From the first enquiry to handover
Photograph the full run and confirm boundary arrangements.
Choose the fence system, gate details and suitable support.
Plan protection and manage openings during removal.
Install posts, boards or panels and gates to the agreed construction.
Check operation and receive maintenance advice for the materials.
Agree the programme after the scope and materials are confirmed. Include delivery arrangements, protection of retained features and any periods when the area cannot be used. At handover, confirm how the completed work should be used and cared for, and retain the relevant product details.

Complete garden landscaping
1800mm closeboard fencing, softwood sleeper planters, a 450mm buff slab patio and new turf.
This project is in Borough Green. The photographs show the documented work at that property.
