“I recently had a new fence and post-and-rail installed and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first enquiry, Ian was professional, responsive, and clear in his communication. He provided a fair, transparent quote, explained the process in detail, and kept to both the schedule and budget with no hidden surprises. The workmanship is outstanding – the fence is sturdy, straight, and beautifully finished. The post-and-rail section has completely transformed the look of my property. Ian and George worked tirelessly and area was left clean and tidy. Exceeded my expectation's. Thank you”

Highlights
“Fabulous work. Had a fencing problem with rattling posts causing repeated damage to the panels. Ian was quick to come up with a solution, and had availability within a week for a very fair price. Ian was early, which was fully communicated and agreeable with me, he did a fabulous job and tidied up. So good was his job that my neighbour has hired him to do some fence work for her. Highly recommended.”
“Top service from beginning to end, Ian responded quickly, had good availability and turned up when he said he would. He did some gate and fence post repairs including spurring and did an excellent job - gate is as good as new now. Would definitely use Ian again - not least because he also offers superb VFM”
