"Called Sam at Fresh Fencing to replace a rotten gate and 6’ fence in garden. Very quick to respond and provide a quote. On arranging date for the work to be completed Sam turned up on time completed all work to an exceptional standard with no mess or damage. I would highly recommend Fresh Fencing. Excellent work ethic and very pleased with the result."

"Absolutely stunning work, my garden looks so much better now! So happy with what Sam has done, and the price was extremely reasonable. My fence panels are not standard sizes and had to be made but the quality is exceptional. Also had a beautiful decorative panel/privacy screen installed to hide my ugly shed that I hated and it looks so much better. Communication was excellent and the quote was received quickly, I am so happy with the work, cannot thank you enough."
"Sam fitted new concrete posts and fence panels around my garden. A very decent price, quick to get going and to finish the job, and I'm extremely happy with the work, which is standing the test of time well. He even threw in a very nice rustic front gate to match the lower fencing that he put in at the front of the house. Overall very pleased and will use again if I need more fencing."
