We install new lines, replace failed runs and re-hang or build gates to match. ### Who it's for Homeowners tired of a leaning larch-lap that comes down every winter, landlords needing a boundary that lasts the length of a tenancy, small-holders enclosing paddocks, and commercial sites with security or livestock requirements. ### When it's needed Any time posts are rocking, panels have lifted, boards are rotting at the ground line, or the neighbour's spec was never yours to start with. Autumn and early spring are the busiest windows in Perthshire — book ahead. ### Why professional help matters The failure point on a fence is almost never the panel. It is the post — how deep it was set, whether it was concreted, and whether the timber was properly treated before it went in the ground. Getting those three things right is the difference between a fence that lasts three years and one that lasts fifteen. Free site visit Fixed price. No deposit. Waste taken away.

The reason people call us is almost always that the small job is now a bigger one. Here's what's usually happening under the surface. ### Boundary disputes A collapsing fence line that drifts onto a neighbour's ground becomes a legal problem, not just a cosmetic one. ### Escaping pets and livestock A gap under a rotted board is all a determined dog or a nosey pony needs. Replacement is cheaper than the vet or the reparations. ### Wind damage cascade Once one panel goes, the next one is exposed. What could have been a single-post repair becomes a whole run. ### Rot from the ground up Ground-contact timber that wasn't pressure-treated — or was cut and not re-treated on site — rots from the base and takes the whole panel with it. ### Common mistakes we're called in to fix - Setting posts in soil rather than post-mix concrete. - Using non-treated or lightly-treated timber for ground contact. - Skipping gravel boards, so the panel wicks water up from the earth. - Under-spec posts — a 3-inch post won't hold a 6-foot close-board panel in a Perthshire gale. - Reusing failed posts to save money on quote day, then paying twice when they fail again. Our process ## Step by step, so nothing surprises you. 1. 01 ### Site visit & line agreed We walk the boundary with you, agree the line, spot underground services and check for TPO trees on the run. 2. 02 ### Fixed-price quote Materials, labour, waste removal, gates — all on one price. No deposit taken. 3. 03 ### Removal & preparation Old fence lifted, posts dug out, ground levelled. All waste taken away under our SEPA licence. 4. 04 ### Posts set & panels fitted Posts concreted, allowed to set, boards or panels fixed to spec with gravel boards where the ground calls for it. 5. 05 ### Finish & guarantee Line checked, gates hung and adjusted, site cleared.

Why book us ## Specific outcomes — not vague promises. ### Longevity Pressure-treated timber, concreted posts, gravel boards where needed — built to see out Scottish weather. ### Speed Most runs completed inside the week. Larger jobs are staged so your garden isn't open to the world overnight. ### Safety & security Proper close-boarding gives real privacy and a genuine deterrent — not just a screen. ### Cost certainty Fixed price. No day-rate surprises. Materials specified in the quote. ### Guaranteed workmanship If our fence fails through workmanship, we come back and put it right. ### Tidy finish Old fence, offcuts, spoil from post-holes — all removed. Garden left ready to use. In detail ## Fencing — the full picture. Fencing sounds like one job. It isn't. The right build depends on what the fence is for, what it has to stand up to, and what is on either side of it. ### Methods & materials #### Vertical close-board Feather-edge boards nailed vertically over horizontal arris rails, fixed to concreted posts. Strong, private, weathers to a silvered grey. The default choice for a robust residential boundary. #### Panel fencing (larch-lap, hit-and-miss) Prefabricated panels slotted between posts. Faster to install, easier to replace individually, cheaper — but only as good as the post it hangs on. #### Ranch-style / post-and-rail Two, three or four rail post-and-rail for paddocks, drives and rural boundaries. Adds character without blocking a view. #### Gates Pedestrian and vehicle gates to match — softwood or hardwood, hung on properly-sized posts with galvanised hinges. #### Gravel boards A concrete or timber board at ground level that keeps the panel out of contact with wet earth — dramatically extends life on damp sites. ### Variations we cover #### New-build boundaries Full straight-line install, string-lined and set to a consistent height. #### Replacement runs on existing lines Old fence lifted, posts dug out (or ground down where cutting is safer), new fence set on the same boundary. #### Paddock and small-holder fencing Post-and-rail with optional stock netting for smallholdings and hobby farms. #### Repair work Single-panel and single-post repairs where the rest of the run is still sound. #### Residential vs commercial For homes the emphasis is on appearance, privacy and getting the height right for both sides. For commercial and agricultural work — yards, small-holdings, letting property — the emphasis is on spec: heavier posts, deeper concreting, tighter fixings so the boundary is doing a job, not just marking one.
