What we do
Fences, posts, gates and the garden around them.
Most of our work is timber fencing for homes in and around Durham. Whether it’s a whole boundary or a few loose posts, it gets the same care.

- 01
New and replacement fencing
When an old fence is past saving, we take it down and put up new close-boarded timber fencing in its place. Long runs and awkward, difficult ground are all part of the job.
One customer’s replacement was 173ft of 6ft fencing on very difficult terrain.
- 02
Fence repairs and new posts
A loose or leaning fence doesn’t always need replacing. Where the panels are still sound, new posts can be put in to support the fence you already have.
For one customer we installed new 9ft posts to support their existing fence.
- 03
Timber gates
Gates fitted as part of the job, so your garden is closed off properly and the boundary looks finished from end to end.
- 04
Garden services
Fencing is the main trade, but we also carry out all aspects of garden services. If there’s more to sort out in the garden, mention it when you call.
- 05
A visit and a straight price
Garry comes out, looks at the job and gives you a price. Customers mention quick quotes, and we beat all genuine quotes.
One customer had Garry round within an hour of their first call.

“Excellent from start to completion. Garry came round to provide a quote as soon as he returned from holiday and started the work to replace the old fence within two weeks. Kept me updated throughout and arrived on time each day. Very pleased with the work carried out which was to a high standard. I would highly recommend to anyone who is in search of a new wooden fence.”
“Garry and his team were excellent from first call they arrived within an hour to spec the job and give price the job was the fence posts loose and new 9ft posts installed to support existing fence. They returned to complete around 10 days later. Fantastic service and comms throughout very good workmanship at a good price too. Would highly recommend and would definitely use him again, thanks again Garry!”
“From initial assessment of the job, immediate quote, and now completion of a substantial fencing project, I have been really impressed with Garry and his team.
The works required the removal and replacement of 173ft of 6ft close boarded fencing, now 33 years old and erected on very difficult terrain.
Despite the enormity of the task ( very hard work!) the work has been done superbly, at pace and exactly what I had hoped for at a very competitive price.
Totally reliable, Garry will go out of his way to ensure the job is first class. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional contractor to repair, replace or build fencing.”
