What we build
Closeboard is the workhorse. Panel where it's sheltered. Picket for frontages. Palisade where security matters. Gates, decking, and honest repairs on everything already in the ground.
Post-and-rail closeboard with vertical feather-edge boards - the workhorse fence for Sandwich marsh wind exposure and larger back gardens across CT13.
See scope & pricingStandard 6x6 overlap and lap panels on timber or concrete posts. Quick to install, honest about where they hold up and where they don't.
See scope & pricingTraditional picket fences for front gardens and cottage frontages around Sandwich town, Ash and Worth. Painted or stained, gate to match.
See scope & pricingW-section and D-section steel palisade for commercial yards, industrial units and secure boundaries around the Sandwich Industrial Estate.
See scope & pricingPedestrian gates, driveway single and double gates, bi-fold gates. Timber to match a run, powder-coated steel where security matters.
See scope & pricingGround-fixed and raised timber decking, joists on treated posts, board-to-fence tie-ins where a deck meets a boundary run.
See scope & pricingThe Sandwich marsh upgrade. Concrete posts plus 300mm gravel boards under closeboard is what actually lasts here - timber posts rot in the water table.
See scope & pricingSingle-panel replacements, snapped-post concreting, storm damage. Quoted honest - sometimes a repair is right, sometimes the run is done.
See scope & pricingWhy Sandwich isn't a generic fencing job
Sandwich is a Cinque Port sitting on heavy alluvial clay where the Stour meets the marsh. That is not a detail - it changes the fence you should be building. Timber posts on the marsh side of town go soft inside five winters because the post-hole fills with water long before the concrete cures. Lap panels come off in a gale off Pegwell Bay because the fixing at the panel-clip is the weak point. What holds up here is concrete posts, 300mm gravel boards and a closeboard face nailed straight into the arris rails.
Inside the walled town - Strand Street, Church Street St Clement's, the Barbican side - the picture is different again. Sheltered air, listed frontages, conservation-area boundaries. Timber panel and picket work is often the right answer and looks correct against medieval brick and flint. But you might need conservation-area consent from Dover District Council for a new fence over a certain height on a highway boundary, and we'll flag that before we quote.
Out on the Ash road villages - Woodnesborough, Worth, Eastry - plots get larger and the boundary runs get longer. That is closeboard-on-concrete country, sometimes with a picket return at the front and a decked patio at the back tied into the run properly rather than as an afterthought.
Cinque Port work
Around the Barbican and Strand Street, Dover District Council requires conservation consent for boundary work over certain heights, and listed-property frontages need proper consent conversations before the first post goes in. We check it at the quote stage so there is no scope-creep after the job starts.
What you get
If the finished fence doesn't do what we said it would - stand plumb, keep the wind out, close the gate clean - you don't pay. We don't leave a job we would not put our name to.
Once we have the details and the scope, the price is fixed. If the job runs longer than we thought - awkward post-holes, worse ground than expected - that is our problem, not yours. No day-rate creep.
Every job leaves you with a photo record of what was done - post depths, joint detail, the whole run. Useful for insurance, for the next owner, and for the next fence conversation years down the line.
