What should I consider when choosing a fence fitter?

Look at their experience with the specific fencing material and style you want, whether it’s wood, metal, vinyl, or composite. Check customer reviews to see if past clients were happy with their work and professionalism. Confirm that they understand local regulations and can get any permits needed.

What types of fencing can professional fence builders install?

Most local fence builders near you work with popular materials like wood, metal, vinyl, and composite. They can install privacy fences, garden borders, security fences, decorative panels, and gates. Some also handle specialised fencing like automated gates or high-security perimeter fences. Choose a fencing professional who has experience with your preferred style and material to ensure a professional finish.

Can a fence fitter help me choose the right type of fencing?

Fence fitters often provide valuable advice on which materials and styles meet your needs, budget, and local regulations. They consider factors like privacy level, durability, maintenance, and aesthetics to recommend the best options so you get a fence that suits your property and lifestyle.

How long does it take to install a fence?

The installation time depends on the type of fence, how long it needs to be, and site conditions like ground slope and obstructions. Most standard residential fences are installed within 2 to 5 days. Larger or more complex projects can take longer, especially if there is ground preparation or bespoke work involved. Your local fence builder should give you an estimated schedule before the project starts.

Do fence fitters handle repairs and maintenance?

Yes, many fence fitters near you offer repair services such as fixing leaning fences, replacing broken panels or damaged posts, and reinforcing existing structures. Regular maintenance services can include resealing wood, tightening fasteners, and checking gate mechanisms to extend the life of your fence and avoid costly replacements.

Lovely young man but It turns out extremely inexperienced. Job ended up a disaster and we will now need to get a new door. Now obvious he was totally out of his depth with the job. We contacted him to express our dissatisfaction with his work - he never responded.

He gave me the impression that this was the first time he had carried out such a task. After damaging two new worktops he left for the day. The next day he texted me to say he would not be returning due to mental illness and had been told to rest by his doctor. I continued to complete the job myself.

Landscaping- 30 Jan 2022
We hired this company to do our garden, they were not the cheapest quote, but they were available to start soon, which is the main reason we went ahead with them. Be aware that you will receive an estimate and not a fixed price. They will charge for day labour, materials, etc. The cost will have nothing to do with the original quotation. We were receiving invoices weekly, and by the third week, the invoices amounted to the whole original quoted price. We were told that the job was going to be completed in 10 days, after 21 days it was not even half of the work done, meanwhile, they are invoicing daily for their work. When we complained about it and explained that we were not willing to pay more than what was agreed (plus whatever extras we requested), they refused to finish the job and demanded payment. We even received a letter from their solicitors threatening us with legal action. Just to avoid having to deal with them, we made an agreement and paid for half of the job. We had to get another contractor who charged us to completely re make the garden works, basically we just threw several thousand pounds down the drainage. We would never recommend this company

No Show. I had arranged a day for job to be completed. Day before I got a message saying he was ill and needed to reschedule and have never heard from him since despite sending messages to follow up (was concerned he may have already ordered materials and wanted to give him a chance). I don't know what the circumstances were, but a text message would have been nice.

DO NOT USE! Had a few email exchanges in the lead up to the agreed day that work would be done. Simply did not show up. Not warning that this might happen. No response to voicemails or emails asking what happened. Left us in real trouble as the work had a genuine deadline by which it had to be completed.

Although Jack had no feedback initially I though someone has to start out somewhere. So I hired Jack. Quoted me via text arranged date and he advised he would be there at 8am I waited an hour or so just in case of traffic etc but nothing. I text to ask if he was coming no reply. Messaged on here again no reply. So alas no back gate has been done. Will be looking elsewhere for work to be done.

Cancelled on me late on the night before the job was supposed to start. These things happen but nice for more notice. Rescheduled work which was to replace 3 door frames and fit new doors and furniture. After a few days the doors started sticking. Informed Dion who said he wasn't in the area. I tried to be patient to allow him to pop over when in the area, but 2.5 months later he's ignoring my messages. He also hung one door on the wrong side so now i need to pay an electrician to move the light switch and pay someone to come fix his mess. I don't think he used enough fixings on the frames. Dion is a joiner in the father/son team he told me.........

Carpentry- 21 May 2026
Very poor experience. The contractor attended the property, removed some valuable wood panels supposedly to obtain matching materials, and then never returned or followed up. Communication was extremely poor throughout, and the whole situation felt highly unprofessional. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this service to others. Proceed with caution.
