Fencing in Trowbridge
Straight lines, solid posts, gates that close properly. We install closeboard, lap panel, slatted and decorative fencing, with concrete or timber posts set deep in postcrete — built to face down a Wiltshire winter gale.
What a fencing job involves
- 01
Measure and agree the line
We measure the run, check the boundary and agree heights and style.
- 02
Taking down the old fence
Old panels and posts are removed and taken away.
- 03
Setting posts
Post holes are dug to depth and posts set in concrete, plumb and in line.

Boards, panels and gates
Gravel boards go in first, then panels or boards, then gates are hung.
Closeboard (featheredge) is our recommendation where strength and privacy matter most; panel fencing suits tighter budgets; contemporary slatted screens work beautifully around patios and seating areas.
We also build and hang matching gates, replace individual storm-damaged sections, and install trellis toppers and gravel boards to keep timber off wet ground.
Posts set properly
Concreted to the correct depth for the fence height — the difference between a fence and firewood after a storm.
Gravel boards as standard
Timber kept off wet ground so panels don't rot from the bottom up.
Gates that fit
Made and hung to suit the opening, with quality hinges and latches.
What it costs
We don't publish a price list because no two jobs are the same. We come out, measure up and look at the ground, then send a fixed written quote — free and with no obligation.
Fencing is priced on the length of the run, the height, the style (closeboard, panel or slatted), concrete or timber posts, any gates, and whether an old fence has to come down first.
Common questions
How much does fencing cost?+
It depends on the length and height, the style of fence, the posts and any gates. We measure up and give you a fixed written price — free.
How long does fencing take?+
It depends on the length of the run and whether an old fence has to come out first. We'll tell you how long when we quote.
Concrete or timber posts?+
Concrete posts last longest and panels slot in for easy future replacement. Timber looks softer and suits closeboard runs. We'll price your preference.
Whose fence is it anyway?+
Deeds usually show boundary ownership with a 'T' mark. If it's unclear, we recommend agreeing with your neighbour before work starts — we're happy to advise.
