Frequently asked questions
Is this advice specific to my fence?
The guides are general practical advice. Every garden and boundary is different, so call or send us a photo and the area and we will look at your actual job.
Can you give legal advice about boundaries or planning?
No. We are fencers, not solicitors or planners. Where a guide mentions ownership or height limits it is general information, so check your deeds and your local council.
How do I ask about a job after reading a guide?
