Lap Panel and Composite Fencing
From standard lap panel replacement to modern composite fence installations — we install boundary fencing that provides immediate privacy, security and a clean, professional finish along your garden perimeter.
What Goes Wrong With Poor Fencing Installation
The most common fencing failure is posts snapping at ground level. This happens when timber posts are set too shallow or without concrete, allowing moisture and wind to weaken the base.
Panels that blow out in storms are typically caused by insufficient post depth, weak fixings or panels that are too large for the exposure level.
Budget fencing installers often use undersized posts, skip concrete around the base and leave panels poorly aligned, creating a fence that fails within 2-3 winters.

Fencing Materials and Installation Methods
Closeboard fencing is our most popular option for rear gardens, providing maximum privacy with individually nailed featherboard to arris rails on concrete or timber posts.
Lap panel fencing offers a cost-effective alternative with pre-made panels fitted between posts. We use 4x4 inch posts set in concrete for stability.
Post and rail fencing suits front boundaries and rural properties, providing a traditional appearance without blocking light or views.
We offer concrete posts with concrete gravel boards for maximum longevity in wet or exposed locations.
