Fencing in Woking and the Guildford, Horsley, Ripley and Surrey Areas
Fencing can be erected to replace broken or storm-damaged panels, or to demarcate boundaries, create privacy, improve security or produce a contained environment to keep children and pets safe. The Simmons Garden Services team offers fencing services to customers in Surrey, and specialises in installations, repairs and replacements. We also supply and fit concrete posts, timber posts, gates and the hardware.
Individual areas covered by our fencing services include:
Guildford | Horsley | Ripley | Woking
We can supply fencing in a range of materials, such as hardwoods and softwoods, but advise that a pressure-treated timber is used because it has more longevity. Due to moisture in the ground, concrete posts will typically be a better choice than timber but we will always use products to suit the personal requirements of customers and clients.
Fencing can be erected in a choice of styles:
- Close-boarded and featheredged
- Decorative fencing panels
- Picket and trellis fencing
- Composite and metal fencing
- Agricultural and post-and-rail
- Screening and security fencing
The cost of erecting fencing will vary based on choice of product, a property’s access or ground conditions, slopes and meterage. Simmons Garden Services can come out to survey the property, discuss product choices and provide you with a written quotation without obligation.
A scheduled garden maintenance plan will help to protect the fence.
The Fencing Installation Process
Your choice of fencing, and the current condition of a garden or the grounds, will determine the process we use but most installations in Guildford, Horsley, Ripley, Woking and the surrounding areas will be relatively straightforward. Your product choice will determine how a project runs, as will the size of the job and the land’s topography.
Furthermore, the process might be affected based on whether you need us to install for the first time or require us to replace broken or damaged fencing. We will always discuss our plan well in advance of a job starting so you know exactly what to expect from our services.
Most fencing installations run as follows:
- A site visit is made to evaluate the job and take measurements
- Old, broken and damage panels are dismantled and removed
- Posts are installed to correct depths with concrete footings
- Your fencing, and boards if required, will then be installed
- We clear the site of tools and take waste away for disposal
- Advice on maintenance is offered to preserve fencing condition
Pressure-treated fencing protects the installation from rot and from insects, but it will crack, split or warp within 1 to 2 years due to sunlight and water exposure unless it is stained. We advise that you leave a fence to weather for 2 to 3 months before using a treatment.
When installing fencing, Simmons Garden Services is careful in how a job is approached so that the surrounding landscaping elements, and features such as turfing or artificial grass surfaces, will never be affected. We offer a service to the domestic and commercial sectors, including those related to local agriculture and estate management.
We have a portfolio of previously-completed fencing projects and our services are available to customers from all Surrey areas including Guildford, Horsley, Ripley and Woking. Demarcate, contain or secure with professional solutions from a dependable and hardworking team.
