    FENCE INSTALLATION IN WICKFORD

    A Complete Fencing System, Properly Installed

    Fence installation covers the full process of putting up a new residential fence — setting posts in concrete, fitting gravel boards at the base, installing panels or boards, and integrating gates where needed. It is not just about dropping panels between posts; a properly installed fence starts from the ground up.

    We install fencing with either timber or concrete posts, paired with timber or concrete gravel boards. The choice depends on the ground, the boundary and how long you want the fence to stand. On a free site visit we talk through the options that suit your property and give you a clear, written quotation.

    Whether the boundary is a straight rear garden line or a more complex run with changes in level, the installation is planned to suit the garden. The result is a secure, private fence that stands properly and looks right.

    WHAT INSTALLATION INVOLVES

    What Does Fence Installation Include?

    Fence installation is the complete process of building a new fence from the ground up. It starts with setting posts at the correct depth in concrete, then fitting gravel boards to keep the fencing clear of soil, and finally installing the panels or boards that form the visible boundary.

    A full installation also includes setting out the boundary line, checking levels, cutting boards to fit where the ground changes, and ensuring the fence is secure and aligned. Where a gate is needed, the installation includes fitting the gate posts, hinges and latch as part of the same run.

    The difference between a proper installation and simply fitting panels is in the preparation. Posts set at the right depth in concrete, gravel boards fitted correctly, and boards or panels aligned to the boundary all contribute to a fence that stands well and lasts.

    SUITABILITY

    When Fence Installation Is a Good Choice

    New build or recently developed gardens where no boundary fencing exists
    Gardens where the existing fencing has been removed and a full new system is needed
    Rear or side boundaries where a complete, secure fence is required
    Properties where a gate needs to be integrated into the new fence line
    Homeowners wanting a full fencing system rather than piecemeal panel replacement
    Gardens where the boundary needs to be re-set or re-aligned as part of the installation

    FENCING OPTIONS

    Fence Installation Options

    There are genuine choices within a fence installation. The right combination depends on the boundary, the ground and how the garden is used.

    Timber Posts

    Pressure-treated timber posts set in concrete, a traditional choice that matches timber panels and boards.

    Concrete Posts

    Concrete posts that will not rot at ground level and generally last longer than timber alternatives.

    Timber Gravel Boards

    Timber gravel boards keeping the fence clear of soil, matched to timber posts for a consistent look.

    Concrete Gravel Boards

    Concrete gravel boards that will not decay, providing a solid base often paired with concrete posts.

    Panels or Closeboard

    Ready-made fence panels for straight boundaries, or closeboard built on site for sloping and uneven ground.

    Gate Integration

    Gates fitted as part of the installation, with posts, hinges and latches matched to the fencing.

    THE PROCESS

    Our Fence Installation Process

    Installation timing depends on boundary length, access, ground conditions, existing fencing, the chosen material and post system, and the weather. We confirm a realistic schedule before booking.

    1. 1Discuss the boundary, access and what you want the fencing to achieve
    2. 2Inspect the garden, ground conditions and any changes in level
    3. 3Confirm the fencing specification — posts, panels or boards, gravel boards
    4. 4Provide a written quotation covering the agreed work and materials
    5. 5Remove existing fencing where included in the quotation
    6. 6Remove and dispose of old fencing materials from the site
    7. 7Set out the boundary line along the garden
    8. 8Install posts securely at the correct depth in concrete
    9. 9Install gravel boards at the base of the fence
    10. 10Fit panels or feather-edge boards to the posts and rails
    11. 11Install gates and ironmongery where included
    12. 12Check alignment, levels and finish, then leave the area tidy

    QUOTATION FACTORS

    What Affects the Cost of Fence Installation?

    We do not provide fixed prices without seeing the boundary. The written quotation is based on the work involved, and several factors influence the final figure.

    Length and height of the boundary to be fenced
    Timber or concrete posts
    Timber or concrete gravel boards
    Ready-made panels or closeboard built on site
    Ground conditions and any changes in level along the run
    Access to the boundary for materials and equipment
    Removal of existing fencing and waste disposal
    Gates integrated into the fence line

    The written quotation will explain the agreed work, materials and preparation so you know exactly what is included before the installation begins.
