Fencing in Cheltenham, with the prices on the page.
New closeboard fences, storm repairs, replacement panels, gates and decking across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. Every guide range is published here rather than hidden behind a call, and every job is quoted fixed in writing.
Six services, priced in the open
Every price on this site is a guide range you can plan against, and every job is quoted fixed in writing. Guide ranges for budgeting, excluding VAT.
Closeboard fencing
Feather-edge boards built board by board onto concrete or timber posts, so the fence holds its line and single boards can be replaced.
Fence repair
Snapped posts and storm-blown panels put right across Cheltenham, with an honest read on whether repairing beats replacing.
Panel replacement
Failed panels swapped into your existing posts, matched to the height of the run, with the old panels taken away on the day.
Composite fencing
Wood-plastic composite panels on aluminium posts, fitted so your boundary needs a wash down instead of re-staining every other spring.
Garden gates
Side gates and driveway pairs, hung on oversized posts set in concrete, so the leaf keeps its swing and the latch still catches.
Decking
Timber and composite decking built on a sub-frame that drains and breathes, so the deck stays solid underfoot years after it is laid.

It is almost never the boards.
A fence that leans after two winters was decided on the day it went in, below the soil. Post depth, whether the concrete sheds water away from the timber, whether a gravel board keeps the boards clear of wet ground, and whether the post suits that ground at all. Cheltenham sits between heavy Severn Vale clay and the limestone brash of the escarpment, and they fail in different ways.
- Post holes dug to depth for the height of fence they carry, not to the depth the day allows
- Concrete haunched and shed away from the post so water runs off rather than sitting against timber
- Gravel boards as standard on new runs, so the boards never sit in wet soil
- Honest advice on concrete versus timber posts for your ground, before you commit

The work, and the clear-up
Posts in, boards up, old fence and spoil taken away. The garden is left usable, not covered in offcuts.
Cheltenham, and the ground around it
A garden in Leckhampton sits on limestone, one in Tewkesbury floods, and a Bishop's Cleeve estate garden is clay with an estate fence at the end of its life. Three different jobs before a board is chosen.
