Plan the boundary and the openings together

A fence gives privacy and defines the garden, but the gate determines how useful the boundary is day to day. Lewis sizes the gate for bins, the mower and deliveries, so a new boundary keeps the garden accessible as well as private. Lewis measures the run and discusses the width and position of each opening before ordering the fence components.

That keeps access from becoming an afterthought. Panel style, height and the amount of visibility through the fence affect how the garden feels. Close-board construction creates a different appearance from decorative panels, and exposed positions place different demands on the supports.

In a narrow terrace garden, a bulky gate swing can take up valuable room. A wider bungalow plot offers more options but often a longer run to maintain. Lewis checks the existing boundary arrangement and the ground along it so the new fence is planned around the property rather than a standard panel count alone.

Sound posts keep the fence standing straight

A new panel needs sound posts and secure support beneath it. Leaning or decayed posts should be assessed before new panels are attached. The work begins with setting out the line and openings, then preparing the support positions.

Changes in ground level affect whether the fence steps or follows the slope. Gravel boards, panel fixings and the base of timber components need attention where the fence meets the ground. Gate posts carry the moving load of the gate as well as the boundary, so their support and alignment are part of the design.

Hinges and latches are fitted to give a usable opening, with clearance for the surface underneath. Lewis checks the gate movement and the finished line before handover. If paving or a new lawn is also planned, those levels are considered before the posts go in so the final garden edges meet neatly.

A new gate needs an opening that works for the things you move through it. Lewis checks space for bins, garden equipment and the gate swing, then includes the posts, hinges and fastening in the boundary quotation.

Replace the damaged run or renew the boundary

A broken panel does not always require replacing every post. Conversely, fitting fresh panels to failing supports leaves the main weakness untouched. Lewis checks the condition of the existing fence and quotes for the sections that need work.

Explain whether the damage followed strong wind or whether the posts have been gradually leaning. The cost depends on the length, materials, number of gates and the ground preparation. Removing old posts, working beside established planting and handling changes in level add time.

Access for long components also matters in enclosed gardens. The programme covers removal, supports, panels and the final gate adjustments, with the waste cleared afterwards. Confirm the intended boundary line before the work begins and discuss any shared access with the people who use it.

Good to know

Straight answers before you book.

Can you replace fence panels without replacing the posts?

Yes, when the posts are sound and suitable for the new panels. Lewis checks the supports before quoting so the replacement fence is not fixed to failing timber or loose posts.

Can a gate be made wider for garden access?

The opening can be planned around the access you need. Lewis checks the space, posts and swing before setting out the new gate and adjoining fence.

Can you include a gate with the fencing?

Fencing and gates are covered together, with the opening, support and everyday access discussed at the survey.

Do you replace fencing within a garden renovation?

Fencing is available alongside patios, decking, lawns and garden walls, with Lewis managing the full agreed outdoor scope.
