Wolverhampton suburbs have a wide mix of house types, which means boundaries come in all lengths and conditions. Short side runs, long rear gardens and awkward corners all turn up. Ernie works from Stourport-on-Severn, and if you send us the details we will get back to you.
Storm damage and worn-out runs
A strong gust is often all it takes to finish off a fence that was already on its way out. Panels blown flat or posts snapped at the base are common after bad weather, and in Wolverhampton we are regularly asked to put a boundary right quickly and safely.
Sometimes only a few panels are damaged and the posts are sound, in which case a partial repair is reasonable. If the posts have rotted, new panels on old posts will not last, so we will tell you honestly whether replacing the whole run is the better option.
Long runs, short runs and changes in level
Because Wolverhampton properties vary so much, we measure each boundary rather than assume. A short side return needs different handling from a long rear run, and every post has to be set at the right spacing for the panels or boards being used.
Where the ground rises or falls, we step panels down in sections or use closeboard that follows the slope. Gravel boards keep the timber clear of damp soil, and a firm concrete footing under each post is what keeps the whole line straight through winter weather.
What we check first in Wolverhampton
Before work in WV postcodes we look at access, because tight alleys and side passages affect how materials and old fence are moved. We also check who owns the boundary and suggest talking to neighbours. Once that is clear we agree the plan. We also work in Tettenhall, Bilston, Willenhall and Penn.
Questions about fencing in Wolverhampton
Can you repair just part of a fence?
Sometimes. If the posts are sound and only some panels are damaged, replacing those panels is reasonable. If the posts are rotten, a repair will not last, and we will say so plainly before you decide how to go ahead.
What is the difference between closeboard and lap panels?
Closeboard is built on site from overlapping vertical boards and copes well with slopes and long runs. Lap panels are ready made and quicker to fit on level ground. Both can be set on concrete posts with gravel boards beneath.
Do I need to be at home during the work?
Not always, as long as we can reach the boundary and any gates are unlocked. We will agree access beforehand. It helps if you are around at the start to confirm where the line runs and what is coming out.
