Garden Fencing in Middleton, Rochdale

Not sure which type of fencing is best for your patch? Most people we chat with are looking for a balance between price and durability. If you want something heavy-duty, you can't go wrong with Closeboard or Feather Edge fencing. These vertical overlapping boards are incredibly strong and offer total privacy. On the other hand, if you're looking for something budget-friendly but still smart, Waney Lap (or Larch Lap) panels are a classic choice. Have you got a particularly windy garden? We often recommend 'Hit and Miss' designs, which allow the air to flow through the slats, reducing the pressure on the posts. Whatever you choose, all our timber is pressure-treated—or 'tanalised'—to protect it against the damp North West weather and stop rot in its tracks.

One of the biggest mistakes we see is wooden panels sitting directly on the damp soil. It’s a recipe for rot. To prevent this, we always suggest using gravel boards—either concrete or treated timber—at the base of your fence. This keeps the main panels off the wet ground and significantly extends the life of your investment. When it comes to the posts, you've got a choice. Concrete posts are the 'set and forget' option; they’re virtually indestructible and won't rot like wood. However, if you prefer the natural look of timber posts, we can certainly do that too, using rapid-setting post-mix to ensure everything is rock-solid and perfectly level.

Worried about the mess? Don't be. We handle the whole project from start to finish. We'll turn up, clear out your old, broken panels, and make sure they’re disposed of responsibly—we are fully licensed waste carriers, after all. We don't believe in 'one size fits all' either; if your garden is on a slope or has an awkward corner, we’ll provide a bespoke fitting to ensure the finish is seamless. Because we're fully insured and members of Checkatrade and Trust a Trader, you can relax knowing your property is in safe hands. We're also specialists in other garden works like brickwork and garden walls or garden design if you're looking for a total transformation.
