Fencing Contractors Sandwich
Define your garden boundary with a fence suited to privacy, appearance and the property’s exposure. We discuss Sandwich fencing installation and replacement, including closeboard, panels, posts, gravel boards and gates, with a separate repair option for damaged sections.
Describe the whole boundary run
Measure each length and mark gates, corners and changes in level. Explain the height and privacy you want, then compare closeboard, panel, picket or slatted styles for that purpose. Include the junctions with walls, sheds and retained sections.
A count of panels does not define the entire job. Posts, foundations, rails, fixings and gravel boards belong in the specification. Photographs from both sides where accessible help explain the boundary and any planting that should remain.
Select supports and gate details together
Discuss timber and other compatible components as a complete system. An exposed boundary needs its supports and fixings considered alongside the chosen style. State known recurring damage rather than assuming a replacement panel will solve it.
Gates add loads and need suitable posts, hinges, catches and clearances. Show the opening direction and the ground underneath. Agree how a gate meets the fence and whether access for bins or equipment needs to be maintained.
Check whether repair can retain sound sections
Damaged panels, failed posts or loose rails may allow a targeted repair when adjacent construction is sound. Use the Sandwich fence-repair page to describe the fault and request an assessment. Replacement of the whole run is a different scope.
If older panels are retained, matching sizes and appearance need checking. Show close-ups of the failure and a wider view of nearby supports. Identify what can remain before comparing repair and replacement costs.
Agree boundary arrangements and installation scope
Clarify ownership and access before removal. For height changes or added trellis, review the linked official guidance for the entire proposed feature and property restrictions. A familiar fence height is not a substitute for checking your proposal.
Compare quotes including removal, posts and support, panels or boards, gates, disposal and reinstatement. Supplier panel prices do not cover all of that work. Agree how openings are managed during installation and what maintenance the selected materials need.
Agree the complete boundary arrangement
Measure the run in sections, including gates and changes in ground level. Specify the height and components rather than only requesting a panel count. Confirm how the fence meets existing walls, sheds and the next retained section, and whether access is available from both sides.
Compare the proposed style with privacy, appearance and maintenance priorities. Where the boundary is exposed, discuss suitability of the supports and fixings. Identify retained planting and any surface reinstatement around post work. Resolve ownership and working access before removal begins.
What the complete Sandwich quotation should cover
Use the same agreed scope when comparing proposals. Confirm the materials and work below the visible finish, together with any retained construction. Ask how exclusions or provisional work will be handled and keep the written specification with the quotation.
- Measured length, height, style and component specification
- Posts, foundations, rails, fixings and gravel boards
- Gate openings, posts, hinges, latches and clearances
- Removal of the old fence and waste handling
- Stepped-ground details, retained sections and site protection
- Reinstatement, VAT, exclusions and agreed work access
Photographs, dimensions and access details help define the work. They can start the discussion, with a visit or further assessment where needed. A quoted total is useful when it is clear what the finished result includes.
From the first enquiry to handover
- Photograph the full run and confirm boundary arrangements.
- Choose the fence system, gate details and suitable support.
- Plan protection and manage openings during removal.
- Install posts, boards or panels and gates to the agreed construction.
- Check operation and receive maintenance advice for the materials.
Agree the programme after the scope and materials are confirmed. Include delivery arrangements, protection of retained features and any periods when the area cannot be used. At handover, confirm how the completed work should be used and cared for, and retain the relevant product details.
