FENCE REPLACEMENT IN WICKFORD
Out with the Old, In with the New
Full fence replacement is the complete process of removing an existing fence line and installing a new fencing system in its place. It includes taking down the old fencing, disposing of the materials, and putting up new posts, gravel boards, boards or panels.
We carry out full fence replacement for residential gardens across Wickford and South Essex. The old fencing is removed and disposed of as part of the quotation — you do not need to arrange separate waste clearance. The new fencing is then installed from the ground up.
On a free site visit we assess the existing fence, the boundary and the ground, talk through the replacement options and provide a clear written quotation covering removal, disposal and installation.
WHAT REPLACEMENT INVOLVES
What Does Full Fence Replacement Include?
Full fence replacement includes three stages. First, the existing fencing is taken down — panels, boards, rails and posts are removed. Second, the old materials are loaded and disposed of from the site. Third, the new fencing system is installed from the ground up.
The new installation follows the same process as a new fence: posts set in concrete at the correct depth, gravel boards fitted at the base, and boards or panels fixed to the rails or posts. Where the ground has changed or the old posts have left holes, the boundary is prepared properly before the new posts go in.
Removal and disposal of the old fencing are normally included within the agreed quotation. This means the full project — from taking down the old fence to leaving the new one in place — is covered in one quote.

SUITABILITY
When Full Fence Replacement Is a Good Choice
FENCING OPTIONS
Replacement Fencing Options
When replacing a fence, there are genuine choices for the new system. The right combination depends on the boundary, the ground and your preferences.
Closeboard Built on Site
Feather-edge boards fixed individually to rails, following the boundary and adjusting to ground levels.
Timber Panels
Ready-made timber panels between posts for straight, level boundaries.
Concrete Posts
Concrete posts that will not rot at ground level, a sensible upgrade when replacing rotted timber posts.
Concrete Gravel Boards
Concrete gravel boards that will not decay, providing a solid base for the new fencing.
Composite Fencing
Modern composite fencing systems as a low-maintenance replacement for timber.
Gates
New gates integrated into the replacement fence line where needed.
THE PROCESS

QUOTATION FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of Full Fence Replacement?
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.
The written quotation will explain the agreed work, materials, removal, disposal and preparation so you know exactly what is included before the replacement begins.
