Fencing · Ascot, Berkshire
Fencing that suit Ascot gardens.
A small, family-run team building fencing across Ascot and the surrounding Berkshire postcodes. Same crew on site every day, work that's meant to age well.
Workshop in GU15 - close to Ascot
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 Ascot
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
What we build for Ascot gardens isn't generic fencing - the materials, the falls and the finish are tuned to the houses we see across the area.
Many Ascot plots are set within mature, often protected planting. We work carefully around root zones, plan access for materials early, and detail builds to feel as if they've always been part of the garden.
- Protected trees & TPOs - Tree report where required, hand-dug foundations within root protection zones, layouts shaped around the canopy.
- Established planting - We protect mature shrubs and hedging through the build and re-plant only what genuinely needs renewing.
- Discreet site presence - Quiet plant where possible, careful access scheduling, deliveries timed away from hosting weekends.

Common questions
What Ascot clients usually ask about fencing.
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.
How long does a typical fence run take?+
A 20–30m run takes two to three days from clearing the line to hanging the gate. Larger runs with retaining or stepped levels stretch to a week.
Can you keep our existing posts and just replace the boards?+
Sometimes - if the posts are sound, set deep enough and still plumb. We check honestly on the first visit. Replacing boards on rotten posts is a false economy and we'll say so.
