Closeboard fence and new gate in Mortlake

Bernadette's old fence in Mortlake needed replacing, posts and all. We took it out and put up 11 new 6ft closeboard panels on concrete posts with concrete gravel boards, plus one new gate with new hinges and locks. All waste was taken away. Two days, £4,320 including VAT.

Where we started

The brief

Bernadette needed the old fence and posts in the garden in Mortlake replaced, along with a new gate.

Concrete posts and gravel boards were used throughout, so no timber sits in the ground. It is a good example of the fencing and gates we install around Richmond and Putney.

Questions

About closeboard fences and gates

Thinking about something similar? These are the questions we hear most.

How much does a closeboard fence and gate cost in Mortlake?

Bernadette's fence in Mortlake SW14 cost £4,320 including VAT, covering removal of the old fence and posts, 11 closeboard panels at 6ft on concrete posts and gravel boards, a new gate and waste removal, in two days.

How long does it take to replace 11 fence panels?

This job, including taking out the old fence and posts and fitting a new gate, took two days.

Why use concrete posts and gravel boards?

Concrete does not rot, so the posts and the boards along the bottom last far longer than timber in contact with the ground.

Can you fit a new gate as part of a fence?

Yes. Here one new gate was fitted with new hinges and locks as part of the same job.

Do you fit fences near Mortlake?
