Fencing and gates: what's involved

What the service is

We install new fencing and gates and replace old, damaged or leaning fences. That includes removing old panels and posts, setting new posts securely, fitting panels or boards, and hanging gates so they're level and secure.

Who it's for

Homeowners who need more privacy, families with children or pets, people whose fence has blown down or started leaning, and anyone redesigning their garden who wants boundaries that match.

When it's needed

If your fence is leaning, rotting at the base, missing panels or has gaps, it's time to replace it. Fencing is also often replaced as part of a full garden transformation. One customer had their fencing replaced alongside new composite decking and relaid patios.

Why professional installation matters

Fences fail at the posts. Posts that aren't set deep or secure enough will move in strong winds. Gates hung on weak posts drop and stop closing properly.

What happens if it's left

A failing fence gets worse quickly, especially through windy winters.

Leaning and blown-down panels

Once a post moves, neighbouring panels take extra strain and can come down in the next storm.

Security and privacy

Gaps and broken panels let pets escape and reduce privacy.

Damage to the garden

Falling fences can damage planting, sheds and anything else nearby.

Common mistakes we see

  • ✕ Replacing panels without checking whether the posts are sound.
  • ✕ Setting posts too shallow.
  • ✕ Hanging heavy gates on posts that can't take the weight.
  • ✕ Not planning fencing alongside other garden changes.

Fencing and gates in detail

The right fence depends on privacy, security, the look you want and the conditions in your garden.

Panel fencing

Panel fencing is quick to install and suits most gardens. Panels sit between posts, which need to be set securely to hold them.

Closeboard and board fencing

Boards fixed to rails give a strong, solid fence that suits exposed gardens and boundaries where privacy matters.

Gates

Side gates, garden gates and access gates need strong posts and correct hanging so they don't drop over time.

Fencing on slopes

On sloping ground, fencing can be stepped or follow the slope. We'll recommend what works best for your garden.

Fencing as part of a garden project

Replacing fencing at the same time as patios, decking or lawns means everything is planned to work together.

Choosing the right height and style

The right fence depends on what you need from it. A tall, solid fence gives privacy from neighbours and the street. A lower fence can define a front garden without blocking light. We'll talk through how the boundary will be used and recommend a style and height that suits the garden and the house.

Front gardens and driveways

At the front of a home, fencing and gates often need to work alongside a driveway and paths. Gates need to open fully without catching on paving, and fencing needs to sit neatly against walls and surfaces. Planning these together avoids awkward gaps and gates that drag.

Exposed and windy gardens

Gardens on higher ground or open sites take more wind, and that puts extra strain on posts and panels. In these situations, post depth, spacing and the style of fence matter even more. We'll look at how exposed your boundary is before recommending what to install.

Fencing for schools and businesses

Commercial and educational sites often need boundaries that are secure and hard-wearing, with gates that cope with frequent use. We'll talk through how the site is used and what the boundary needs to do.

Matching fencing to the rest of the garden

A new fence is one of the largest things you see in a garden, so it should suit the patio, decking and planting around it. We'll suggest a style and finish that ties in with the rest of the space.

Fencing alongside other garden work

If you're planning a new patio, decking or lawn, it's worth replacing the fencing at the same time. Old posts can be removed before new surfaces go down, and new fencing can be set to the finished ground levels so there are no gaps underneath or awkward steps along the boundary. Robert M. had his fencing replaced as part of a project that also included new composite decking and relaid patios, which meant the whole garden was finished together rather than in stages.

Clear quotes and removal of old fencing

Our quote will set out the length and height of fencing, the style, the number of posts and gates, and the removal of old fencing. You'll know before work starts exactly what's included and what's happening to your old boundary, so there are no surprises on the day.

Working with neighbours in mind

Boundary work affects the house next door too. We'll talk through access and timings so the work can be done with as little disruption as possible, and keep the area tidy throughout. Customers often mention how clean the site was kept while we worked.

Fencing in South Yorkshire weather

Winter storms across Rotherham, Sheffield and the surrounding areas regularly bring down fences that weren't set properly. Our team keeps working in poor weather, which customers have noticed in their reviews, but the fence itself has to cope with that weather for years afterwards. That's why we focus on posts first.
