Kings Norton has a mix of older village-centre properties and suburban estates, so boundary jobs vary a great deal. Some runs are short and simple, others are long, uneven or shared with several neighbours. Tell us what you have and we will get back to you to arrange a look at the fence.
Boundary fences for Kings Norton homes
A boundary fence has one job: to stand straight, hold the line and keep the garden private. In Kings Norton we usually find fences that have rotted at the base, lost panels in the wind, or been patched so many times that nobody can say what is original. When that happens, replacing the whole run is often tidier and lasts longer than another repair.
We measure the run, mark the post positions and check the ground before ordering anything. Concrete posts are set at even spacing so the panels sit without gaps, and a gravel board goes along the bottom so the timber panel stays off the soil. That one detail does more for the life of a fence than almost anything else.
Closeboard, lap panels and gates in the run
Closeboard, also called feather-edge, is built from overlapping vertical boards and gives a solid, strong finish that suits a long boundary. Lap panels are ready-made and quicker to fit, which suits shorter runs where the budget matters more than the finish. We will explain the difference and let you choose what fits your garden and your neighbours.
If you need a side gate or a garden gate, we fit it into the run so the posts, hinges and latch all line up with the fence. A gate hung on a proper heavy post will not drop or drag. We can also take away the old fence and posts, so you are not left with a pile of rotten timber in the drive.
Before we start in Kings Norton
Before work begins we need a few things settled. Check who owns the boundary, as ownership decides who pays and who agrees to the change. Make sure we can reach the fence line, because narrow side passages and tight rear access change how we carry panels. Tell the neighbours. We also work in Northfield, Cotteridge, Selly Oak and Kings Heath, and the B30 area is part of our regular patch.
Questions about fencing in Kings Norton
Can you replace just part of a fence in Kings Norton?
Yes. If most of the run is sound, we can replace the failed panels and posts and tie the new section into the old one. If the posts are rotten throughout, we will tell you honestly that a full replacement makes more sense than patching a fence that will fail again.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes, we can remove the old panels, posts and rubbish and take them away when the job is finished. Let us know when you ask for a visit so we can plan for it. Old concrete posts take more effort to dig out, so mention them early.
How do I get a visit arranged?
Send us your address, a few photos of the fence and a rough idea of how long the run is. Ernie will look at the details and we will get back to you to arrange a time to see the fence in person before anything is agreed.
