Fencing · Hartley Wintney, Hampshire
Fencing for Hartley Wintney: thought through, then built.
We design and build fencing for Hartley Wintney 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 Hartley Wintney
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our fencing work in Hartley Wintney 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.
Some Hartley Wintney plots sit within or near the conservation area. We design with that in mind - eaves heights, materials and finishes that sit quietly within the setting.

Common questions
What Hartley Wintney clients usually ask about fencing.
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.
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.
