Highlights
"Peter and Ryan have done a fantastic job installing a 6ft closeboard fence for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both and hope to use you again for fencing / landscaping projects in the future!"
"Peter, Ryan and Richard did an excellent job and took away all old fencing, leaving the garden tidy when they finished. They replaced an old back garden fence on sloping ground with a new solid structure which looks great and is extremely sturdy. They worked in difficult weather conditions but finished the job to time and were a pleasure to have around. We would highly recommend this company and will certainly use them again."
"Peter listened to my ideas and gave me suggestions on what was possible and advice about costs. Also was able to save a much loved hedging rose that had grown around the old fence. The job lasted a bit longer than planned but Peter is a perfectionist and I couldn't be more pleased with the resulting finished work. At each stage I was consulted and clear explanations were given. Once finished everything was left clean and tidy. Peter and his team worked very hard during extremely hot weather without complaint and I am extremely grateful for such a professional, polite and friendly team."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
