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.

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.

Bricklaying- 25 Jun 2021
Con artist! Avoid and report. Said he was a bricklayer..he's not! Ruined our wall and wasted our materials. Left us to sort his mess whilst he ran with our money. We put our trust in him and was very nice to him when we see there was something going wrong. We thought a young man starting out..so gave him a chance to put things right. He should have talked to us and tried to resolve matters. Seeing as he has given false details to My Builder he obviously had wrong idea's in his head. My builder has tried to contact him. We need to find him as we intend to persue this fraudster through the courts. Any information please pass it on. He lives in the Hexham area,drives a white old Citroen berlingo van.

Landscaping- 14 Apr 2020
I selected this individual to extend my garden patio. He then subcontracted the work and ordered the wrong materials. .... my patio slabs were a completely different colour. The option he gave me to resolve the issue was totally unsatisfactory. He made no further attempt to sort things out for me other than to hand the job completely over to the subcontractors. The job ended up costing me more money. I would not recommend this tradesman.

Bathroom Fitting- 12 Apr 2019
Firstly I am sorry to leave this review. The job deliver was shocking. I should have got someone with good reviews before hiring you. I got desperate for a builder. I had to get someone else to fix errors done. Doesn’t turn up as agreed, when he does turn up, he is in rush. I Don’t like leaving bad reviews but i had to. I think this is not a trade you should be into. I do wish you the best in the future, but different trade. Expensive lesson.

Groundwork & Foundations- 5 Apr 2021
I cannot say how disappointed I am with this contractor, I asked him to put down boards on my grass, he never, I asked him to put a slope on the slab, he never, I asked him to put a slope on the Aco drain and he never, I asked him to power float it, he even quoted me to power float it and he never, during the concrete pour he was not even going to put in any DPM until I asked him and when I did ask him he said "If you want some" same when I asked him to put in steel reinforcements, the whole job was a disaster but worse than that he never came up with any ideas how to put it right, I suggested one option of putting one part of it right and he even cocked that up but the worse thing about this contractor was the fact he kept saying he would not leave me in the lurch, but he did, I even offered him the chance to put it right but he just pretty much walked away (by mutual consent) The concrete slab after 8 days has all cracked and the screed he put on the walkway has all broken away after 5 days and worst of all the whole area looks like a bomb has hit it as it has been left so uneven that other contractors have said that it is the worse job they have ever seen, Dan and the boys nice enough blokes but seem to have no clue how to lay a large concrete slab even after I told them twice what I wanted and made clear the pitfalls after having done this twice before.

Extensions- 2 Apr 2021
Joe was very friendly and came and gave us a quote in January - we agreed to go ahead and were very disappointed that a week before he was due to start in April he stopped replying to any messages. He has let us down at the last moment meaning there is not time to find a replacement to do the job at the required time.

Fencing- 14 Mar 2020
AVOID- UNRELIABLE and has DISAPPEARED! Inital impression of Dave was excellent- he was quick to respond and was able to quote after work hours. I went with him without asking for further quotes and was booked in for 10 days later on a Thursday. I text a few days later to confirm and was asked if I could move to the Saturday- no problem for me. On Saturday I get no calls/ text and call/text myself. Several hours later I get a text to say that his van was in for repair and he had low signal. I asked him to keep me updated- no response. I contact to rebook, no response- his phone rings and I text hm but nothing back. All I can assume is that he's taken on a more lucrative contract and is too ashamed to admit it.

Decking- 11 Feb 2020
Unfortunately I have to leave negative feedback for Leigh. He arrived early each day which was good, however, half way through my (extended) job he asked me to pay him half the amount owing which I immediately did. As soon as his bank transfer went through he informed me that he was going to walk away from the job :-( I have now had to emply a further tradesman to complete the job.

Garden Maintenance- 21 May 2019
even though he did a good job he only came once, run over my lawn mower lead and had to repair it, which took a while. he never returned any of my calls then when i did get hold of him he had cut his finger with a chain saw (supposedly) and was unable to come but if i hadn't rung a second time i would have been left with no one, so if you want someone who is unreliable then he's your guy.

Arranged laying of Patio agreed price and time to start,delay in getting slabs agreed another date. Since then heard nothing inspite of leaving messages on phone and email. If he had changed his mind he could have let me know. I have since had a local builder through the local newspaper and the job was done in two days.
