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.

Plastering- 18 Aug 2019
Total time-waster, hired to plaster our living room, gave us a date which was weeks away then when the date came he said he'd overrun on a previous job so pushed it back by a week. Due to start on Tuesday(20th August) no contact so I contacted him and he told me that he wasn't going to be able to do the job so we should get someone else..wasted months waiting! Wish we'd never given him the job. He never contacted us once, we've had to chase and chase just to be told he now doesn't want to do it!!!

Fencing- 12 Apr 2024
Got a price as believed there was digging involved and concrete to be mixed to put the fence on and quoted a high price due to this, yet when they came they screwed it down and took 2 hours not the full day as quoted, so job done completely different to the quote yet still asked for the full day price when the job was cut short due to screwing the fence post onto flags instead of digging and concrete, I believe if the job took less than half the time the price should have been according to this and not what initially quoted, I agreed due to stating the would be digging and putting alot of concrete down misled the job, I was at work and they cut corners when my husband came to pay and saw what was done completely different to what was agreed, 2 hours instead of full day they still took the same money very disappointed would not use again as misled and the fence was slanted not neat at all. Below photo took them 2 hours and charged £380. The posts are slanted the post were cut in half

Restoration & Refurbishment- 9 Apr 2020
Avoid this guy at all costs. Claims to have 30yrs experience behind him in the construction industry. This is not the case. He has no experience whatsoever. A DIY handyman would know more. Claims to have a a team of professional tradesmen, this again is untrue. He gets them through Gumtree and Mybuilder when required. Non of the tradesmen who he got for our project had ever worked for him before. They had no loyalties to him or ourselves. He was caught out telling lies to us and the tradesmen he employed. He actually told one of the tradesmen to tell us lies but that particular guy told us the truth and was honest. Unless you want a professional liar stay clear. Choose your tradesmen wisely.We were unfortunate!!

Landscaping- 23 Apr 2019
I DO NOT recommend this trader. The job was very rushed- it felt like on a conveyor belt, quickly to get over with, before moving on to the next customer the following week. Poor communication with the client prior to the start of the job. The deposit requested was way above half of the quoted cost of the job - around 67%-which is too much and hence left the trader less motivated to do the job properly. He left part of the job unfinished and did not come to complete it when requested. He left cement chunks visible and did not make a step down towards my shed and now we have to "jump down" an uncomfortable drop. The slabs he put were not as seen in his catalogue: half of the rows on my patio look brown and half are yellow. When I mentioned this he said that they are from the same batch. However, he could have returned them to the store as they clearly look bad quality. I have visual evidence to demonstrate the bad quality job done by this trader and am now looking for legal advice on logging a complaint or to solicitor a refund.

Samuel Warman did not turn up. Having agreed a time, place and cost... he simply didn't bother to show. I called him, texted and messaged him - but still no response. I suggest everyone keep well away from Warman Property Services. He hasn't even bothered to get in touch to apologise... clealy thinks he can treat customers with utter distain.

Carpentry- 27 Apr 2019
Unfortunately, cant give feedback on Marti, planned the job some time ago and Marti was very responsive. Checked in with Marti 2 days before the job to see if he's still good for it, didn't hear so chased the following day, said he was good to go and apologied for late reply. Morning of job, 10 mins after agreed start time received a message that his car was broken down on the A12, asked a couple hours later progress and Marti asked to reschedule for the following weekend, so credit to him. Just disappointed that we had this scheduled for a long time, reliability is important to me and sadly Marti was let down by his car which isn't ideal for all of us here.

Carpentry- 20 Mar 2024
INITIAL REVIEW: Ieuan is really polite, informative, flexible and he did a great job on the doors etc! It’s been great working with him and I have hired him for another job and will definitely do again in the future. UPDATE: I re-engaged Ieuan after the positive first experience but sadly the second experience has not been so great. He made a mistake on the second job which we only realised after I had paid for the job and he left. The lock he installed is only locking from inside but not from outside. I have been asking him for more than a month to come back and correct it but he has not. He has been difficult to reach and has promised to come a few times but not showed up. I now have to engage someone else to fix it.

Quick to visit and quick to provide a quote. Appeared very flexible and accommodating as had to move start date... however didn’t then turn up on agreed date and didn’t even contact us to let know! We thought he was starting on the next work day but again didn’t turn up and not only cut our calls off, ignored them too.
