A fence is a row of promises about the posts.
Any fence looks fine the week it goes up. Whether it still looks fine after five winters comes down to the bit you cannot see: how deep the posts went, what they were set in, and whether anyone bothered to check the line twice. We bother.
We have put fences up everywhere from Sussex gardens to a tight side return in Stoke Newington, where a slatted screen turned a dark passage into somewhere you would actually walk barefoot. Closeboard with a trellis top gives you height without heaviness. Picket keeps a kitchen garden feeling like a garden rather than a compound.
Materials come from trusted suppliers, including Lawsons, and we happily take on repairs as well as full runs. Some of our favourite clients started with a single leaning post.

Fair questions
Which fence should I choose?
Closeboard for privacy and strength, slatted screens for a modern look that still lets light and air through, picket where the garden wants charm rather than a wall. We will recommend what suits the ground, the wind and the budget once we have seen the run.
Do you do small fence repairs?
Yes. Single panels, leaning posts, storm damage: small jobs get the same care as full runs, and plenty of bigger jobs have started with a repair.
Timber or concrete posts?
Both have their place, and it depends on the ground and the look you want. We will give you a straight recommendation for your run, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Where do you work?
Brighton & Hove, Rye, London and across the south east. The slatted screen on this page went up in Stoke Newington.
