Kingswinford is largely residential, with many family houses and gardens, so most jobs are a side boundary, a rear fence or a gate for a driveway. Tell us what you have and what you want, and we will get back to you to arrange a look at the site.
Replacing a worn fence run
A fence rarely fails all at once. Usually a few panels lean, the posts have rotted at ground level, and a windy night finishes the job. In Kingswinford we usually start by walking the run with you, checking which posts are sound and which panels can no longer be saved.
Where the whole run has gone, we recommend replacing it in one go rather than patching. Concrete posts do not rot in the ground, and gravel boards keep the bottom of each panel clear of wet soil. That combination is what makes a closeboard fence last, and it is why we fit them as standard on boundary work.
Closeboard or lap panels
Closeboard, also called feather-edge, is built board by board on rails between the posts. It is sturdy, handles sloping ground well and suits longer boundaries. Lap panels come ready-made and are quicker to put up on level ground, which keeps the job simpler where the garden is flat.
For a Kingswinford garden with a slight fall, closeboard is often the easier choice because the boards can follow the ground. We explain the difference on site, give you a straight recommendation, and fit whichever suits your boundary and the way you use the garden.
Old fence removal, gates and access
We take away the old fence as part of the job, so you are not left with a pile of rotten panels. Access matters, so tell us if materials must be carried through the house or along a narrow side path. We can also fit a gate into the new run, and we also work in Wall Heath, Pensnett, Brierley Hill and Wordsley.
Questions about fencing in Kingswinford
Do you take away the old fence in Kingswinford?
Yes. Removing the old panels and posts is part of the job, and we clear it away when we finish. If posts were set in concrete, tell us beforehand so we can plan the digging and the time needed on site.
Who owns the fence between me and my neighbour?
It depends on the property deeds, so check those first. Ownership is not always the side you would guess. Speak to your neighbour before work starts, and we can talk through the fence line and the position of the posts with you.
Can you fit a gate into the new fence?
Yes. A gate is fitted between two strong posts, set so it swings freely and latches properly. Tell us the width you need and which way it should open, and we will build it into the run.
