Ernie runs the jobs from Stourport-on-Severn and covers Worcestershire. Bromsgrove has a mix of older properties near the centre and newer estates around it, so boundaries vary a great deal. Tell us what you have and we will get back to you.
Replacing a tired boundary in Bromsgrove
Most boundary jobs in Bromsgrove start the same way. A run of fence has been up for a long time, the posts have rotted at ground level and the panels rock in the wind. Patching rarely lasts, because the weak point is nearly always the post, so we usually recommend replacing the whole run in one go.
On a replacement we take out the old panels and posts, dig fresh holes, and set concrete posts at the right spacing for the panel width. Gravel boards go in along the base, then the panels are fixed between the posts and capped. The result is straight, firm and easy to maintain.
Closeboard, lap panels and gates
Closeboard, also called feather-edge, is built on site from overlapping vertical boards and suits longer runs, slopes and awkward lines because it can be stepped or raked to follow the ground. Lap panels arrive ready made and go up quickly where the ground is reasonably level.
If you need a way through, we can fit a pedestrian gate or a wider access gate into the run, hung on proper posts so it does not drop over time. Gates for side passages and rear gardens are common in Bromsgrove, and we match the height and style to the fence either side.
Before we start in Bromsgrove
Before any work in the B60 and B61 areas we look at ground levels, access for materials and what is being taken away. Older boundaries near the centre can be less obvious, so it is worth checking who owns each side and talking to neighbours first. We will tell you what we find and then agree the plan. We also work in Redditch, Droitwich, Alvechurch and Catshill.
Questions about fencing in Bromsgrove
Do you take away the old fence in Bromsgrove?
Yes. When we replace a run, we remove the old panels, posts and any broken concrete as part of the job and take it away with us. We will confirm this when we agree the work so nothing is left in your garden afterwards.
Can you fit fencing on a sloping garden?
Yes. Closeboard can be stepped or raked to follow a slope, and panels can be stepped down in sections with the posts set to suit. We look at the ground on site and explain which option will sit well against your levels.
Who owns the boundary fence?
It varies from property to property, and your deeds or title plan are the first place to look. If it is shared, a quick conversation with the neighbour beforehand saves problems later. We can fit what you decide once ownership is clear.
