How do I choose a trustworthy fencing contractor?

Compare the public evidence on each profile — how many independent reviews they have and across how many named platforms, the rating and how recent it is, any verified credentials, and the company record. A fencing contractor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one with a single listing.

Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend fencing contractors for payment?

No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Fencing contractors are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence — no one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.

Where do the reviews come from?

They're imported from named public review platforms and always shown with the source named — they aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.

What should I check before hiring a fencing contractor?

Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the fencing contractor, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence — it doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.

How to judge a fencing contractor

Independent, no-ads guidance — the trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

Check if they hold AFI (Association of Fencing Industries) CCS certification — the UK's only fencing-specific trade-body accreditation.
Confirm they carry public liability insurance; no insurance means you're exposed if a panel blows into a neighbour's car.
Check their Companies House history — avoid firms incorporated in the last year or with a dissolved company in their past.
Look at photos of completed work in their reviews; a straight, level fence with concrete posts is visible proof of quality.

Warning signs of a cowboy

They knocked on your door cold and said your fence is dangerous and must be replaced today — classic rogue-trader pressure tactic.
They ask for a large cash deposit upfront before ordering materials; legitimate firms keep deposits modest and give receipts.
No written quote with a business address — if there's nothing on paper, there's nothing to hold them to.
The firm has no verifiable trading history, no reviews, and no Companies House registration.

Questions to ask before you hire

Are you AFI-registered or TrustMark-approved, and can you show me your certificate?
What deposit do you require, and will you give me a written contract with the full scope before I pay anything?
Have you checked whether my fence height needs planning permission — and are you aware of any conservation-area rules at my postcode?
How deep will the posts be set, and will they be concreted in? What timber treatment grade are you using?
