“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.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 3 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“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.”
