What helps fencing
Posts installed with care
A fence is only as sound as the line and support of the posts holding it up.
Taking care of the old fence
We plan for removal and replacement, not just the shiny new panels going in.
Levels handled cleanly
Changes in ground level are worked into the line, not ignored and hoped away.
Expert fencing work
A fence can add privacy, strengthen a boundary, improve security and help the whole garden feel tidier and more contained. It also tends to become urgent when panels lean, posts rot or a storm leaves the boundary looking like a game of pick-up sticks. We deal with new fencing and replacement work by looking at the full line of the boundary, not only the obvious weak spot. We check posts, panels, alignment and the ground conditions underneath before deciding what will give the fence a better chance of standing straight.
Style, height and access all affect the final spec
The right fencing choice depends on exposure, maintenance expectations, neighbouring features and how much privacy or shelter you need from the boundary. We plan setting out, post installation, secure fixing and a clean finish as the core of the job, while also allowing for awkward access, level changes and the removal of the existing fence where needed. A site review with DW Contractors Ltd helps us see the practical aspects so that nothing gets missed.
Frequently asked questions
Do you replace damaged sections or whole fence runs?
That depends on the condition of the rest of the boundary. If the damage is local and the neighbouring sections are still sound, a partial replacement may work. If posts are failing across the run or the alignment has gone, replacing the wider section is often the cleaner and more durable option.
What affects the type of fencing I should choose?
Height, exposure, privacy needs, upkeep expectations and the look of the surrounding garden all matter. A fence on a windy boundary has different demands from one mainly chosen for screening or appearance. We talk through what the fence needs to do first, then look at styles that suit that purpose.
Can you work where access is awkward or narrow?
Yes, but it is best to know about that early. Side passages, steps, stored materials and tight boundaries all affect how posts, panels and waste are handled during the job. We ask about access at the start so the installation can be planned properly rather than improvised halfway through.
