Garden Fencing

retired from both activities, soz

We had ours done recently and when we went for quotes everyone was crazy expensive and 3-4 days work.  

Then we found a company that quoted way less and said it would be done in one afternoon - went with them and the fence is fine / did a decent job.  There was one very small change we notice needed doing after they had been paid and they came within a week for no extra cost and fixed it in 15mins.

Trouble is I can’t remember their name but do know they used to sponsor the shirts of Bromley FC (back of shirts) and I got their number from an advert at the Bromley fc ground so a little detective work you should find them quite easily!

i have a feeling they may even have been Charlton fans but could have got that but wrong.

Search him out on Facebook or PM me and I'll give you all the detail you need. He isn't the cheapest but he is very good

Harry Monk? What does he use to whitewash the fence?

I can't usefully comment on the quote, because the fence I had installed 18 months ago was much lower, & in NW England where labour costs are lower.

However, whatever the quote, do make sure you get  clear info about the make and grade of panels to be used so you can check they are as you would want - some are so lightweight you could make holes in them with a pea-shooter, or held together with so few nails that they will fall apart in no time!

Have you considered,  bushes/privets/laurels. Better for enviroment wildlife birds and animals

Includes 9ft concrete posts and has two levels of 12" brick faced gravel boards all the way round. Total cost £3080.

God almighty two levels of brick faced gravel boards?  Do you live in a swamp?

Both Neighbours' grounds are higher than ours, without the gravel boards the fence would be up against soil so wouldn't last very long. 

If you get a good fence, I have some jewellery I am looking to offload.

Can't comment on the quote but I have put up a few fences before (family member has a fencing company and I worked a summer for him when i was 18). The key really is to make sure concrete posts (and properly set in enough concrete base) and concrete gravel boards. Otherwise they fall apart pretty quick. The strength of the actual panels doesn't matter too much after that as they slot in and are easily replaced. There is actually a school of thought that you shouldn't go for too expensive ones as if there is strong wind the Panel itself will break and is easily and relatively cheaply replaced rather than them holding strong but weakening the structure.

Saw this on Facebook this morning make of this what you will:
