Types of fencing we can provide

Every fence is installed by trained, professional gardeners who understand how fencing interacts with planting, lawns and trees, so your whole garden works together.
Local Fencing Specialists in Fulham
Working solely in Fulham and nearby areas means we understand the typical garden sizes, windy river spots, shared boundaries and tight access common in local streets. We plan installations around narrow side passages, basement flats and communal gardens, keeping disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
We’re used to liaising with managing agents and freeholders in Fulham for boundary disputes and shared fencing, and we always work in line with local height and planning guidelines.

- Homeowners needing a secure, long‑lasting boundary or a smarter front garden fence.
- Renters wanting temporary or reversible fencing solutions agreed with their landlord.
- Landlords looking to protect their investment with durable, low‑maintenance fencing.
- Businesses and offices requiring secure, neat perimeter fencing or screening.
- Students in shared houses needing safer, more private gardens.
Whether you have a small courtyard, a large family garden or a commercial outdoor space, we can recommend a fence style and specification that suits your use and budget.

Our Step‑by‑Step Fencing Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with a brief description of your fencing needs in Fulham. We may ask for basic measurements, a few photos and access details. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate and suggest suitable options. Where required, we then arrange a survey to finalise the specification and cost.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward jobs, a virtual survey using photos and video is often enough. For more complex boundaries, level changes or tricky access, we arrange an onsite visit in Fulham. We check existing posts, ground conditions, neighbouring structures and potential obstacles. After the survey you receive a clear, itemised quote, including materials, labour and disposal where applicable.
3. Installation and Handover
On the agreed date, our team arrives on time, protects any vulnerable areas and carries out the installation safely and tidily. Once complete, we walk you through the work, confirm you are happy with the line and height, and provide basic aftercare advice so your new fence lasts as long as possible.
Transparent Fencing Prices
Fencing costs in Fulham depend mainly on fence type, height, length, access and whether old fencing needs to be removed. We typically price work per metre, with separate lines for posts, panels, disposal and any additional works.
You will always receive a written, fixed quotation before we start. If unforeseen issues arise (for example, hidden concrete or buried services) we pause work, explain the situation and agree any extra cost before proceeding. There are no hidden charges and no pressure to upgrade materials.
Why Choose Professional Fencing Instead of DIY
Fencing looks simple, but poor installation leads to leaning posts, rattling panels and premature rot. Using professional installers means:
- Correct post depth and concrete mix for local soil and wind exposure
- Straight, level lines that respect actual legal boundaries
- Secure fixings that cope with children, pets and bad weather
- Less risk of damaging underground services or neighbouring property
- Time saved compared with sourcing, transporting and handling heavy materials yourself
For many clients, professional installation works out better value over the life of the fence than repeated DIY repairs.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Gardeners Fulham operates with full public liability cover, protecting you and your neighbours in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during fencing work. We also maintain goods in transit insurance so your materials are protected while being transported to your property.
All work is carried out by trained, professional staff who follow safe working practices, respect neighbouring properties and keep shared access routes as clear as possible. We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to install fencing that is both durable and considerate to the environment. Where possible we use timber from certified sustainable sources, and we advise on finishes that extend fence life, reducing the need for frequent replacement. We avoid unnecessary damage to existing plants and lawns and protect key areas before work begins.
Old fencing and waste are separated and recycled where facilities allow, rather than simply sent to landfill. We can also design fences that support wildlife, such as hedgehog gaps and trellis for pollinator‑friendly climbers.
How Fencing Supports Other Garden Services
Good fencing underpins many of our regular services in Fulham:
- Hedge Trimming – Fences provide a reliable line for formal hedges, making maintenance neater and quicker.
- Garden Maintenance – Secure boundaries keep tools and furniture safer and create defined areas for beds and borders.
- Lawn Mowing – Straight, well‑installed fencing edges make mowing and strimming cleaner, with fewer awkward corners.
- Patio Cleaning – Solid privacy fencing can transform a patio into a more sheltered outdoor room.
- Tree Surgery – When trees are near boundaries, we can co‑ordinate fencing with pruning or removals for a safe, tidy result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fencing in Fulham typically cost?
Costs vary depending on fence type, height, length and access, but we always provide a clear written quote before starting. As a guide, simpler lap panel fences are more affordable, while closeboard or decorative panels cost more per metre due to heavier materials and extra labour. Removal of old fencing, difficult ground or restricted access can also affect price. We are happy to discuss options at different price points so you can choose the balance of durability and appearance that best suits your budget.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent fencing repairs?
For storm damage or security concerns, we will always try to prioritise urgent repairs in Fulham. Same‑day attendance is not always possible, but we can often visit quickly to make the area safe, carry out temporary supports or remove dangerous panels. A permanent repair or replacement can then be scheduled as materials and diary allow. If you send photos with your enquiry, we can usually advise how urgent the situation is and what short‑term measures you can take before we arrive.
Are you insured for fencing work?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover for all fencing and gardening activities, protecting you, your neighbours and passers‑by should anything go wrong during our visit. In addition, our goods in transit insurance covers your materials while they are being transported to your property. This means that from delivery through to completion, your new fence is properly protected. We are happy to share confirmation of our insurance if required by landlords, managing agents or commercial clients before work begins.
What is included in a standard fencing job?
Most standard fencing jobs include supply and delivery of posts, panels and fixings, removal of agreed sections of old fencing, installation of new posts in concrete, fitting of panels, and basic site tidying at the end. We also include advice on design, height and finish so the new fence suits your garden and complies with typical local guidelines. Extra work such as major groundworks, tree removal, painting or planning applications is not included as standard but can often be added by prior agreement and shown itemised on your quote.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Lead times vary with the season, but for most fencing projects in Fulham we recommend contacting us at least two to three weeks in advance. This allows time to survey, discuss options and order materials. During busy periods or after storms, demand is higher, so booking earlier gives you more choice of dates. For smaller repairs, we can sometimes fit work in sooner. If you have a specific deadline – for example, a house move or tenancy start – let us know and we will do our best to schedule around it.
