PROFESSIONAL FENCING CONTRACTORS

TM Contractors installs garden fencing for homes, landlords and commercial properties. From removing old panels and preparing the boundary through to fitting posts, panels, gravel boards and gates, our team manages every stage of the project.

New fencing can improve privacy, security and the overall appearance of your outdoor space. It can also define property boundaries and create a safer garden for children and pets.

Customers can choose from a range of fence styles, materials and finishes. These include traditional timber panels, closeboard fencing, decorative panels and low-maintenance alternatives.

During the planning stage, we consider the boundary line, ground conditions, access, exposure and required level of privacy. This approach helps us create a strong fence that suits the property and surrounding garden.

Every garden has a different layout and purpose. For that reason, we plan each fencing project around the boundary, available space and customer requirements.

Before work begins, our team reviews existing posts, ground levels, nearby planting and access points. We also consider how the new fence will connect with walls, gates, sheds and neighbouring boundaries.

The finished design may include standard panels, closeboard sections, decorative screens or custom heights. In addition, gates and matching side access panels can create a consistent finish.

Where the garden faces strong wind or exposed conditions, we can discuss stronger posts, suitable panel styles and additional support.

More privacy

A well-planned fence can screen the garden from nearby properties, roads and public areas. As a result, your outdoor space can feel more private and comfortable.

Improved security

Secure fencing creates a clear boundary and can make access more difficult. Gates, taller panels and strong posts may also improve security around the property.

Clearer property boundaries

New fencing helps define the edge of a garden or commercial site. Therefore, it can give the outdoor space a neater and more organised appearance.

Safer gardens

A secure boundary can help keep children and pets within the garden. It may also reduce access to unsafe areas or nearby roads.

Wide choice of styles

Customers can choose from traditional, modern and decorative fence designs. This variety makes it easier to find an option that complements the property.

Complements landscaping

Fencing works well alongside patios, decking, garden walls and planting areas. Consequently, it can form an important part of a wider garden improvement project.

1. Site visit and quotation

First, we discuss your requirements and inspect the proposed fence line. During the visit, our team measures the boundary, checks access and reviews the existing ground conditions.

Once we understand the project, we explain the recommended materials and provide a clear quotation.

2. Fence style and material selection

Next, we help you choose a suitable fence type, panel height and post material. We can also discuss gravel boards, trellis, gates and decorative features.

The final design will reflect the style of the property and the level of privacy or security you need.

3. Removal of old fencing

Where necessary, our team removes existing panels, posts and damaged sections. We also clear the fence line so the new installation can begin safely.

4. Post installation

Strong posts form the foundation of the fence. Our installers position each post carefully and secure it at the correct depth and spacing.

The type of post and fixing method will depend on the fence style, soil conditions and exposure of the site.

5. Panels, rails and gravel boards

Once the posts are secure, our team installs the selected panels or closeboard rails. Gravel boards may also protect the bottom of timber fencing from direct ground contact.

6. Gates and final checks

Finally, we fit any required gates, latches and finishing details. Our team then checks the alignment, stability and overall appearance before clearing the work area.

Timber panels remain a popular choice for residential gardens. They offer privacy, a natural appearance and a wide choice of styles.

Traditional overlap panels provide a practical and cost-effective option. Decorative panels, by contrast, can add more detail and suit landscaped gardens.

Wooden fencing needs some ongoing care. Regular treatment can help protect the timber from moisture and weathering.

Over time, panels may naturally change colour. Some customers prefer this appearance, while others choose to stain or treat the wood.

Closeboard fencing uses vertical timber boards fixed to horizontal rails. This construction creates a strong and private boundary that suits many types of garden.

Because installers build the fence on site, closeboard sections can adapt to slopes and changes in ground level. Therefore, the finished line may follow the garden more closely than standard panels.

The design can use timber or concrete posts, depending on the required finish and expected exposure. Gravel boards may also help protect the lower edge of the boards.

Closeboard fencing works particularly well where strength and privacy are the main priorities.

Decorative panels can add style while still defining the boundary. Options may include slatted designs, lattice tops, curved panels or modern horizontal boards.

These styles often suit patios, seating areas and landscaped gardens. Meanwhile, partial screening can provide privacy without making the space feel enclosed.

Customers can also combine solid lower sections with decorative trellis above. This approach adds height while allowing more light through the top of the fence.

During the quotation, our team can discuss suitable options for the property and surrounding garden.

Concrete posts offer a strong and long-lasting support system for many panel fences. They resist rot and can make future panel replacement more straightforward.

Concrete gravel boards also lift timber panels away from damp ground. As a result, they can help protect the bottom edge from moisture and decay.

Although concrete creates a more substantial appearance, many customers value its strength and lower maintenance requirements.

Timber posts remain available where a more natural finish is preferred. The right choice will depend on appearance, budget and expected lifespan.

A secure gate can complete the new boundary and improve access to the garden. Gates can match the fence style or provide a contrasting feature.

Side gates often need to balance security with regular use. Therefore, we consider width, opening direction, hinges and latch position during the design.

Taller gates can provide additional privacy, while framed timber designs may offer greater strength. Where required, matching panels can fill gaps around the entrance.

Our team can include gate installation as part of the wider fencing project.

Storms, rot and ground movement can damage fence panels and posts. In some cases, replacing individual sections may restore the boundary.

However, widespread movement or decay can make a full replacement more practical. New posts and panels may also provide a more consistent appearance.

During the site visit, our team can assess the existing fence and explain the available options. This advice will help you compare repair and replacement costs.

Prompt attention to loose posts and damaged panels can prevent further movement during bad weather.

The right fence height will depend on privacy, security and the location of the boundary. Taller fencing can provide more screening, while lower panels may suit front gardens or open spaces.

Before increasing a boundary height, you may need to consider planning rules and neighbouring properties. Therefore, customers should confirm any restrictions that apply to their project.

Trellis can add limited extra height without creating a fully solid barrier. It may also support climbing plants and soften the appearance of the fence.

Our team can explain the practical design options, although the property owner remains responsible for checking permissions and boundary ownership.

Commercial fencing can define boundaries, protect outdoor areas and control access. It may suit offices, rented properties, yards and shared spaces.

The design will depend on the required level of security, visibility and privacy. In addition, access gates may need to accommodate regular staff, customer or vehicle use.

Durable posts and straightforward layouts often work well for commercial sites. However, decorative fencing may provide a better fit for customer-facing properties.

TM Contractors can assess the site and recommend a suitable solution based on its use and surroundings.

Regular checks can help keep a fence secure and in good condition. Look for loose posts, damaged panels and signs of rot near the ground.

Timber fencing may need periodic treatment to protect it from rain and sunlight. Before applying a product, clean the wood and follow the manufacturer’s guidance.

Plants should not place excessive pressure on panels or posts. Trimming heavy growth can also improve airflow around the timber.

After strong winds, check the fence line for movement. Early repairs may stop a minor issue from causing wider damage.
