Droitwich has residential streets and newer estates, so boundary jobs vary a lot from one address to the next. Some are a single leaning run between neighbours, others are a full back garden perimeter. Send us the details and we will get back to you to talk through what the job involves.
Replacing a boundary fence in Droitwich
Most boundary jobs in Droitwich start with a fence that has simply reached the end of its life. Posts rot at ground level, panels loosen, and one bad gale finishes the job. We strip out the old run, check the line and dig out for concrete posts set at an even spacing. Fitting new posts properly is what lets a fence stand straight for a long time afterwards.
Before any work begins we ask who owns the boundary, because it is not always the side people assume. Title plans and deeds usually settle it, and a quick conversation with the neighbour saves arguments later. In Droitwich streets, where gardens sit close together, that conversation is worth having before a single post comes out of the ground.
Closeboard, lap panels and gravel boards
Closeboard, also called feather-edge, is built on site from overlapping boards and suits long runs and uneven ground because it can be stepped or raked to follow the slope. Lap panels arrive ready made and go up quicker, which suits flat gardens and tighter budgets on time. Both work properly on concrete posts, which do not rot like timber in the soil.
A gravel board along the bottom of each run keeps the fence boards clear of damp soil, and it is the cheap part that makes the biggest difference to how long a fence lasts. If your Droitwich garden has a gate, we fit it into the run at the same visit so the posts, hinges and latch all line up properly.
Access, levels and taking the old fence away
Access decides how a job goes. If the old fence has to be carried through the house, or the back gate is narrow, we need to know first. Sloping ground, tree roots and raised beds all change how we set the posts. We remove the old panels and posts and take them away, leaving the line clear. We also work in Bromsgrove, Worcester, Hartlebury and Ombersley.
Questions about fencing in Droitwich
Do you take the old fence away in Droitwich?
Yes. When we replace a boundary run we pull out the old panels, posts and any broken concrete footings and take them away with us. The line is left clear so the new posts can be set straight. Tell us if there is anything awkward to move, such as climbers growing through the old fence.
Which side of the boundary is mine?
It varies from house to house. Your deeds or title plan often show it, and sometimes the original fence posts sit on one side as a clue. We can talk it through with you, but we would always suggest agreeing the plan with your neighbour before work starts.
What do you need to know to arrange a visit?
The address area in WR9, roughly how long the run is, whether there is a gate, and how we reach the back garden. A photo of the existing fence helps. Send those details and we will get back to you to arrange a time to look at the job.
