Fencing · Camberley, Surrey
Camberley fencing, done thoroughly.
We design and build fencing for Camberley families - the kind of work where the detail beneath the surface matters as much as the finish on top.

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 Camberley
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our fencing work in Camberley comes from the same kind of conversation - a family that's been in the house long enough to know what they want it to do, and a garden that hasn't quite kept up.
Plenty of Camberley gardens sit on heavy clay, particularly the older estates south of the A30. We plan drainage and sub-bases accordingly, especially on patios and garden room foundations off Frimley Road and around Watchetts.
- Clay & winter wet - Patios laid without proper falls hold standing water; lawns get waterlogged. We grade levels away from the house and detail drainage before the visible work starts.
- Compacted ground on newer estates - Builder's compaction is a real cause of dying lawns and patio failure. We lift the top section, cultivate or import soil, and rebuild sub-bases properly.
- Mature trees & roots - Heatherside and Crawley Ridge plots often have substantial pines and oaks. We design around root zones rather than against them, with hand-dug foundations where it matters.
- Aspect & sun - A lot of the older estates have north-facing rears. We plan terrace placement, planting and outdoor-room glazing to get the most of the sun a garden actually gets, not the sun a brochure assumes.

Common questions
What Camberley 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.
