Highlights
"First choice fencing provided me with a reasonable quote to replace fencing panels that had already been removed due to dense ivy growth. They were very punctual friendly and polite in their communication. I decided to go with them as they were clear professional and also offered a 10% discount in Nov & Dec. The job was completed to a high standard and they even cleared some of the old fencing which was left in my neighbour’s garden and at no extra cost. They cleared up after and I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use their services again. Thank you First Choice Fencing 😊."
"The whole team were great from start to finish. Friendly and hard working. A great job done."
"First Choice Fencing literally does what it says on the tin – first-class service from start to finish. I’m so pleased with my new front garden boundary fence. Geoff and Sean installed it and you can tell they take real pride in their work. They were friendly, answered all my questions, and their attention to detail was second to none. They also left everything clean and tidy. I often see passers-by admiring the fence when I look out the window! I would highly recommend 1st Choice Fencing – 10/10 service. I’m already saving up to get my back garden fences done next."
