Highlights
"Mike is a very pleasant and experienced fencer. He has now done 4 jobs for us over the last 2 years. His work is exceptional and we have been pleased with everything he has done. Very tidy and removes all the scrap. I wouldn't hesitate to employ him."
"I contacted Mike through Checkatrade and he responded within an hour or so to say he was interested in the job (replacing a fence post). I sent Mike a photo of the job and he quoted me a price which I was happy to accept. Just before he was due I noticed that another fence post had also snapped. I contacted Mike and he said that he needed to get another post but he would be over first thing the next morning. Very happy with the job and will be seeking to use Mike again if I need any further fencing work."
"M J Fencing recently replaced multiple fence posts and panels as well as 2 gates. Having gathered a number of quotes, the price was very reasonable and they began work in good time. I am incredibly pleased with the end result and they worked efficiently and were very tidy. I would not hesitate to use M J fencing for any future work."
