Close-board and panel fencing built to last.
Close-board, panel, post and rail, stock fencing, picket, gates and repairs across East Sussex. Built on site with properly treated posts concreted in, gravel boards at the base and a capping rail along the top. Quality materials only, never just the cheapest.
What "put up properly" means
What "put up properly" means
A fence that lasts is a spec thing, not a magic thing. Properly treated posts, concreted in with postcrete. Gravel boards at the base so the timber isn't sitting in wet soil. Arris rails notched in properly. Feather-edge boards overlapped, usually by about 25mm, so the line doesn't gap out when the timber moves. Capping rail along the top to keep the water off the end grain. That's the proper spec. Drop the capping, use cheap posts, skimp on the overlap, and you'll be looking at it again in five.
We build close-board, panel, post and rail, stock fencing, picket and gates, and we repair what's worth saving. Domestic and smallholding work, across East Sussex, mostly within twenty miles of Hastings. We'll tell you honestly when a repair is the right call and when the run has gone and is dragging the rest down with it.
What we do
What we do
Seven kinds of fencing work, built to the spec we'd put up at our own house.
Panel fencing
Where panel is the right call, we fit with concrete posts and gravel boards so the panel itself isn't doing the waterproofing.
Learn more →Post and rail
Two-rail or three-rail post and rail for paddocks, boundary lines and semi-rural gardens. Cleft chestnut or treated softwood.
Learn more →Stock fencing
Strained wire stock netting between treated timber posts, for paddocks, smallholdings and field boundaries. Long runs, honest spec.
Page coming soonPicket
Front-garden picket in traditional spacings and profiles. Posts concreted in, rails through-fixed, hand-painted or left to weather.
Learn more →Gates
Side gates, driveway gates and field gates to match the fence line. Proper ironmongery, hung true, shuts without a fight.
Learn more →Fence repairs
Replacing failed posts, bad arris rails and storm-hit bays. We'll tell you honestly if the run has gone and a patch is throwing money at it.

How we price
We price fencing by the metre after a site visit, because access and ground conditions move the number as much as the fence type does. In the price: treated posts, postcrete, gravel boards, feather-edge or panels, capping rail and all the fixings. What adds cost: slopes that need stepping, removal and disposal of the existing fence, difficult access to the line, and gate integration into a new run.
We won't put up cheap posts to win a quote or drop the capping to shave the price. Quality materials only, never just the cheapest. If our number isn't the right one for you, we'll wish you well.
Recent work
Close-board rebuilt after the spring gales in Fairlight.
Eighteen metres of close-board on a Fairlight property facing the prevailing south-westerly, blown over after a March gale took three posts with it. Treated posts, gravel boards, feather-edge, capping rail. A day and a half on site.
