Our Services

Fence Installation

A new fence marks your boundary, keeps pets in and gives you privacy. Fence installation starts with marking the line and setting posts at the right depth. Then the panels or boards go up, level and straight. Our fence installation page covers the fence styles we fit.

Fence Repair

Leaning fences, split boards and loose rails do not always mean you need a new fence. Fence repair can fix the problem for much less. We check what has failed, then straighten, strengthen or replace only the parts that need it. See our fence repair page for common fixes.

Fence Panel Replacement

When strong wind blows out a fence panel, the posts are often still sound. Fence panel replacement swaps the broken panel for a new one that fits the gap. We match the height and style as closely as we can. Our fence panel replacement page explains how it works.

Closeboard Fencing

Closeboard fencing is built on site from upright boards that overlap, fixed to strong rails between posts. It is sturdier than most ready-made panels and gives full privacy. A gravel board at the base keeps the timber off the soil. Read our closeboard fencing page to learn more.

Garden Gate Installation

A garden gate needs to open freely, close cleanly and stay straight for years. Garden gate installation starts with solid posts, because a weak post makes a gate drop. We fit side gates, garden gates and gates to match new fences. Visit our garden gate installation page for options.

Fence Post Replacement

A rotten or snapped post can bring a whole run of fence down. Fence post replacement takes out the old post and sets a new one firmly in the ground. Concrete posts last longer because they do not rot. Our fence post replacement page covers timber and concrete choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a new fence in Alton?

Most garden fences in Alton do not need planning permission if they are 2 metres high or less. The limit drops to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Listed buildings and some conservation areas have extra rules, so check with East Hampshire District Council if you are not sure.

How long will a new fence last in Alton?

A well built timber fence in Alton often lasts 15 years or more, and concrete posts and gravel boards can stretch that further. Pressure treated timber resists rot, and keeping soil and plants off the boards helps a lot. Cheap panels on weak posts tend to fail much sooner, often in the first big storm.

Who is responsible for a shared fence in Alton?

Fence ownership in Alton works the same as anywhere in England. There is no single rule, but your deeds or title plan may show which boundary is yours, often with a T mark. If it is unclear, talk to your neighbour before work starts. We can then fit or repair the fence once you both agree.
