Fencing for Aldershot: thought through, then built.

A small, family-run team building fencing across Aldershot and the surrounding Hampshire postcodes. Same crew on site every day, work that's meant to age well.

Workshop in GU15 - close to Aldershot

Same team on site every day

10+ years across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire

Typical book-in is two to four weeks; build two to five days on site.

What we mean by fencing

The bit beneath the surface.

Most failed fences didn't fail on the boards. They failed at the post - concreted shallow, in the wrong mix, or in a softwood post that was never going to last ten winters. Get the post right and the rest follows.

Posts set properly, every time

Oak or pressure-treated to grade, set 600mm deep in haunched post-mix concrete with a 50mm gravel base. The bit nobody sees; the bit that decides everything.

Boards built to outlive the run

Feather edge over closeboard every time - stronger, longer-lived, and repairable board-by-board rather than panel-by-panel.

Lines straight, gates that close

Lines pulled with a string and a level, not eyeballed. Gates hung with proper ironmongery so they still close cleanly in the third winter.

Why this works in Aldershot

Locally tuned, not location-swapped.

What we build for Aldershot gardens isn't generic fencing - the materials, the falls and the finish are tuned to the houses we see across the area.

Aldershot plots vary a lot - we always pop out before quoting so the price reflects what's actually under the lawn, not a guess from a photo.

Common questions

What Aldershot clients usually ask about fencing.

What's the right post for a Yateley garden?+

Pressure-treated softwood is fine on most runs and the cost-effective default. Oak makes sense where the run is long, the boundary is exposed or the client wants thirty years rather than fifteen. We'll talk through both.

Will you deal with our neighbour about the boundary?+

Yes - happily. Most boundary work goes more smoothly when neighbours are spoken to in advance, and we're used to handling the conversation calmly. We'd usually visit them with you before quoting.

Do you build gates and screening too?+

Yes - pedestrian gates, driveway gates, slatted screens, planters integrated into the fence line. Built in matching timber so they read as one piece.

Feather edge or closeboard - what do you recommend?+

Feather edge nearly always. It's stronger, lasts longer, looks better and you can replace a single board without lifting a whole panel. Closeboard is cheaper up front; the price difference is usually paid back twice over within ten years.
