Choosing the Right Fence

Panel fences are quick to fit and good value. Closeboard fences are built on site and stand up better to strong wind. Picket fences suit front gardens where you want a low, open boundary. We talk through how high you want the fence, what it is for and how it should look.

Setting Posts the Right Way

A fence is only as strong as its posts. Each post is set deep in concrete, often about a quarter of its length below ground. We check every post is upright and in line before the panels or rails go on. Strong posts are what stop a fence leaning after a few years.

Keeping Timber Off the Ground

Timber that sits on wet soil rots quickly. Gravel boards fit along the bottom of the fence to keep the panels clear of the ground, and concrete gravel boards last the longest. Pressure treated timber adds more protection, and a coat of treatment every few years keeps it looking good.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does fence installation take in Alton?

Most fence installations in Alton take one to three days. A short run of panels on clear ground can be done in a day. Longer runs, closeboard fencing, slopes or old fences to remove take longer, and post concrete needs time to set. We give you a time frame when we visit.

How high can a garden fence be in Alton?

A garden fence in Alton can usually be up to 2 metres high without planning permission. Next to a road used by vehicles, the limit is 1 metre. Trellis on top counts towards the total height. If you need anything taller, you will need to apply to the council for permission first.

Will you take away my old fence in Alton?

Yes. When we fit a new fence in Alton, we can take down the old fence, dig out old posts and concrete, and clear the waste away. This is part of the plan we agree with you before work starts, so you know exactly what is included before the first post comes out.
