GARDEN & DRIVEWAY GUIDES
Garden fencing in Kent
A suitable fence starts with the boundary, ground conditions and the level of privacy needed.
A boundary survey comes before installation
Identify the line, ownership, gates and changes in level before agreeing removal. Show the installer existing damage and explain whether privacy, appearance or security is the main requirement. These facts determine the specification more reliably than a style name alone.
Installation details to agree
The scope should cover old-fence removal where needed, suitable posts and supports, boards or panels, alignment and secure fixing. Exposure and ground conditions influence the approach. Ask how adjacent planting, paths and access will be protected during work.
Handover and care
Inspect gates, visible fixings and the finished line together at handover. Keep care information for the selected material and any written product or installation terms. Periodic checks can identify loose components or deteriorating sections before a larger repair is needed.
Permissions and boundaries
Check the requirements that apply to your property before agreeing the work. Listed buildings, protected areas, boundaries and highway access can need additional advice. General guidance is a starting point; it does not establish permission for an individual site.
Test the choice against your own garden
Take samples outside, mark out the area and consider the route between the house, storage and seating. List the care you can realistically provide. Compare complete installation scopes for the options you shortlist, including the work beneath the visible finish.
Discuss your project
Share your location, dimensions and the existing condition, together with the change you want to make. We can discuss the options and arrange a visit where needed.
