New closeboard fence, Cornwall
What's included

Every fencing job, four areas covered as standard.

01 / 04

Posts concreted in

Postcrete or wet-mix concrete in every post hole, dug to a proper depth not shoved in 300mm. Atlantic gales will find any loose post within the first winter.

02 / 04

Plumb and level

Posts plumbed with a spirit level, top rail run with a string line, panels or boards aligned to the string. No drifting fence lines, no leaning panels.

03 / 04

Treated timber

Pressure-treated softwood as standard, or Western Red Cedar / oak on request for premium garden builds. All cut ends re-treated before installation.

04 / 04

Capped and finished

Post caps fitted, gravel boards in, trims dressed and the whole line painted or stained on request. Tidy job from a distance and tidy up close.

Frequently asked

Common questions, plainly answered.

Will the fence stand up to Cornish gales?

Yes, with the right post depth and the right post spacing. We dig posts deeper on exposed clifftop or moorland sites and use concrete-post systems on the most exposed gardens. Most of our fencing is in coastal Cornwall and is built for it.

Can you replace a single panel or run?

Yes. Spot repairs are very common after a winter storm. We carry a small stock of standard panels and can usually get a replacement in within a couple of days.

What about boundary disputes?

We'll only install on the line you and your neighbour have agreed. If there's any doubt we'll point you at the deeds or recommend a chartered surveyor for the boundary before we quote.

Do you do gates?

Yes. Single pedestrian gates, double driveway gates, automated gates with electric openers, and bespoke timber or wrought-iron gates. We work with two local gate-automation engineers we trust for the powered jobs.

Will you remove the old fence?

Yes. Lift, break down, cart away and dispose of at a licensed transfer station. Included in the quote unless you've asked otherwise.
