Garden & Residential Fencing Installation
Garden fencing is where most of our work in Brighton happens, from small back garden boundaries to full-length side returns. We fit a wide range of fence panels and bespoke fencing styles to suit Victorian terraces, new-build estates and everything in between. Brighton's chalky ground generally holds posts well, though we still check conditions on site before recommending a method. Below are the main fencing types we install for homeowners across the city.
Garden Fencing & Fence Panels
Standard garden fencing with timber fence panels remains the most popular choice for Brighton gardens. We fit overlap, waney lane and tongue and groove panels on timber or concrete posts, built to handle coastal gusts without working loose. Panel heights usually run from 3ft for low boundary markers up to 6ft for full privacy. We talk you through panel type and post choice before any work starts, so there are no surprises later.
Composite Fencing
Composite fencing combines recycled wood fibre and plastic, giving you a fence that resists rot, warping and fading. It costs more upfront than timber but needs far less maintenance, no annual staining or treating required. For Brighton gardens exposed to salt air, that lower maintenance burden often makes composite a sound long-term choice, especially for side returns that are awkward to access later.
Closeboard & Feather Edge Fencing
Closeboard fencing, built from overlapping feather edge boards on arris rails, is one of the sturdiest options we fit. The overlapping boards shed rainwater well and stand up to strong wind better than lighter panel fencing. It suits boundary lines where security and durability matter more than a decorative finish, and we can build it to match the exact height and run of your garden.
Slatted Fencing
Slatted fencing gives gardens a modern, contemporary look using evenly spaced horizontal or vertical timber slats. It suits newer Brighton properties and gardens designed with clean, architectural lines. Spacing can be adjusted to balance privacy with airflow and light, which also helps reduce wind load on the panels themselves.
Privacy & Screening Fencing
Privacy and screening fencing is built taller and closer-boarded to block sightlines from neighbouring gardens or the street. We often pair this with trellis toppers to add extra height without needing planning permission in most residential settings. It works well for gardens near busy roads or overlooked rear boundaries in built-up parts of Hove and central Brighton.
Picket & Decorative Fencing
Picket and decorative fencing suits front gardens where you want a defined boundary without blocking the view entirely. Traditional picket styles sit low, around 3ft, and work well on period properties across Brighton. We fit these in timber with a range of finishes, built to the same recognised fencing methods as our larger installations.
Commercial & Security Fencing Installation
Commercial fencing protects business premises, schools and industrial sites while meeting practical site requirements like access control and boundary definition. We supply and install security fencing for commercial and domestic clients across Brighton and Hove, working to recognised industry practice on every site. Below are the main commercial options we offer.
Security Fencing
Security fencing is designed to restrict access and protect property, commonly used around commercial yards, warehouses and storage areas. We fit robust posts and panels suited to the level of security needed, taking into account access points and ground conditions during the site visit. It's a practical option for business owners who need peace of mind without an overly industrial look.
Palisade Fencing
Palisade fencing uses vertical steel or timber pales fixed to horizontal rails, giving a strong physical barrier that's hard to climb. It's a long-standing choice for industrial sites, depots and secure boundaries where deterrence matters. We install it to withstand heavy use and exposure to the elements.
Mesh & Chain Link Fencing
Mesh and chain link fencing offers a cost-effective way to mark out boundaries on commercial or semi-industrial sites. It's quick to install, low maintenance and suits sites where visibility through the fence line matters, such as yards or storage compounds. We can supply it in varying heights depending on the level of security required.
Fencing Installation, Repairs & Replacement
Fencing work falls into three main categories: new installation, repairs to existing fences, and full replacement once a fence has reached the end of its life. We handle all three across Brighton, working with timber posts, concrete posts, gravel boards and gates as needed for each job.
Fence Installation
Fence installation covers everything from a first-time garden boundary to a full commercial perimeter. We set posts to the correct depth for ground conditions, fit panels or boards square and level, and finish with gravel boards to keep timber clear of damp soil. Every installation follows recognised fencing methods and good industry practice.
Fence Repairs
Fence repairs deal with specific problems like a snapped post, a storm-damaged panel or a sagging gate, without needing to replace the whole run. One recent job involved replacing a single damaged section after bad weather, with the team arriving as arranged and finishing quickly and tidily. Repairs are often the most cost-effective option when the rest of the fence is still sound.
Fence Replacement
Fence replacement suits fencing that's rotted, leaning or beyond economical repair. We remove the old fence, dispose of it responsibly as a registered waste carrier, and install new fencing with minimal disruption to your garden. Customers regularly tell us the old fence was removed and the new one installed neatly with very little mess left behind.

Fencing Costs & Quotes
Fencing costs in Brighton depend on the length, height, material and whether it's a repair or full installation. We keep pricing straightforward and provide a written quote before any work begins, so you know the cost upfront.
New Fence Installation Costs
New fence installation costs vary with the materials chosen, timber panels generally cost less than composite, while concrete posts add to the price but last longer than timber posts. The length and height of the run, ground conditions and whether old fencing needs removing all affect the final figure. We go through these factors with you during the quote so there's no guesswork.
Fence Repair & Replacement Costs
Fence repair and replacement costs depend on how much of the fence needs work. A single panel or post repair costs far less than replacing an entire boundary, and we'll always say if a repair is a sensible option rather than pushing a full replacement. Emergency repairs after storm damage are priced the same way, based on the actual work needed on site.

Our Process: From Quote to Completed Fence
From the first enquiry to the final check, we aim to make arranging your new fence as easy as possible. We’ll guide you through each stage, keep you informed along the way and leave the area clean and tidy once the work is finished.
Step 1: Site Visit & Measurements
We’ll arrange a convenient time to visit your property and take a closer look at the area where the fencing will be installed. This allows us to measure the boundary, assess the ground and check access before recommending the best way to approach the job.
We’ll also identify anything that may need to be considered during installation, including slopes, existing posts, planting or obstacles along the fence line. It’s also a good opportunity to talk through your preferred style, height and the level of privacy or security you’re looking for.
Using the information gathered during the visit, we can then provide a clear quotation based on the actual requirements of your property.
Step 2: Fencing Options & Quote
Once we’ve assessed the property, we’ll talk you through the fencing styles that are most suitable for the space and what you want to achieve. Depending on the setting, that could mean a solid closeboard fence for more privacy, panel fencing for a straightforward boundary, decorative picket fencing or trellis where a lighter finish is preferred.
We’ll then provide a written quote setting out the materials, labour and likely timescale for the work. If you’re weighing up different options, we can explain the differences in appearance, upkeep and durability before you make a decision.
When everything is agreed, we’ll book the installation and confirm what will happen next.
Step 3: Installation & Clean-Up
On the agreed start date, we’ll prepare the area and begin the installation using the materials and layout discussed beforehand. Posts are set securely, fencing is fitted carefully, and the line, spacing and finish are checked throughout the job.
After the work is complete, we’ll remove leftover materials and general installation waste, tidy the surrounding area and make sure any gates or fittings are working as they should. We’ll then take you through the finished fence so you can check everything before we leave.
