Fencing in Callow End: Timber, Composite, Gates and Repairs

We supply and fit timber and composite fencing, gates and repairs for homes in Callow End, Powick, Kempsey, Hanley Castle and Worcester. Posts, panels and gates are handled together so the whole boundary works as one.

Timber or composite for a long boundary

Timber is the familiar choice, and it can look natural beside a rural lane or garden. Close-boarded or lapped panels give privacy, while lower, more open styles keep a view across the fields or lane and still mark the line of the garden. It needs treating to last, though, particularly on ground that stays damp around the base of the posts. Composite asks little of you once it is up, and it does not rot.

• Timber panels for a traditional look
• Composite boards for low upkeep
• Concrete, timber or metal posts chosen for the ground
• Gates matched to the fence for a tidy finish

Posts, ground and repairs

The post is the fence. On low-lying ground that holds water, a timber post sitting in wet soil will rot sooner, so the fixing method and post material deserve real thought. Setting posts properly in concrete, with the base kept clear of standing water, makes a difference. Metal post supports are another option where you want timber panels without burying wood in the ground.

Storm damage often shows up as a leaning post or a blown panel, and many fences can be repaired without replacing the whole run. A replacement post, a new panel or a re-hung gate may be all that a sound fence needs, which is worth knowing before you assume the whole length has to come out. Boundary ownership depends on your title deeds, so speak to neighbours first, and check with your local council about height limits, which are generally up to 2 m at the back and sides and 1 m beside a highway or footpath. We can talk it through at the free site visit.
