Highlights
"Very pleased with job - Howland Fencing were very helpful and easy to deal with, the job was reasonably priced and they were able to fit our (small) job in quickly. We are very pleased with the end result."
"I needed six new closeboard panels and concrete posts. I tend to doubt if I'm doing the right thing as I get older but Ben came to see me and helped alleviate any concerns I had. He worked in adverse conditions ie wasps nest (which delayed the work by a couple of days) and rain. I can honestly say Ben was the kindest workman I've ever dealt with, taking time to tell me what he was doing step by step. He did a fantastic job and I am so pleased I picked him. Cannot recommend him highly enough and very reasonably priced too."
"Ben and his team done a fantastic job of our new fence. Quality of work is 10/10. All carried out in double quick time with a minimum of disruption. I can't recommend this company high enough."
