    Trusting company

    Posted 29 January

    Got John to give me a quote to replace all my rear fence 16 panels wooden uprights etc, gave me a quote thought a little high but when he told me they make all their own panels I understood. He said the work work take 3 days he was bang on , his team worked all day one break for lunch ( understandable) no every half hour smoke breaks . As promised all rubbish taken off site left clean and tidy .what I liked was the price quoted was the final price none of the ‘ its cost a little bit more I’m afraid. A job well done 100 percent satisfied customer.

    3 Posts, 2 Panels, 1 Great Result!

    Posted 17 January

    Thank you, John, Ricky and Becci. We had three post repairs and two panels replaced. We were kept informed throughout the whole process and are really pleased with the work carried out. Very well priced and would use again. Plus, they took away all rubbish, which is great.

    Garden Fence

    Posted 10 January

    John appraised the task when requested and promptly submitted a written quotation, with full information about the process involved and the materials required. After completion he adjusted this when some materials quoted for were not needed. John and his team arrived on the date and at the time agreed, and worked hard and with great good humour in pretty awful weather, completing the job in the time estimated. The work (essentially replacing a sizeable garden fence, including most of the concrete posts and groundwork) looks sound, strong and durable. We'll know more after 20 years!

    10 out of 10 will definitely hire again!

    Posted 19 December 2025

    We needed two fence panels and a post replacing. The two employees working for the company arrived very promptly, introduced themselves, explained what they needed from us (access to water and electricity) and set about working. Within a couple of hours they were done with the work. They were pleasant and easy to chat with, and their work was top notch - sturdy post, good installation, and they cleaned up after themselves, even removing the ruins of the old fence panels/post. 10/10 would definitely hire again!

Thank you for visiting our profile. Fence Man John provides attractive, high-quality fencing that's built to last.


We specialise in post and rail fencing and fencing repair work. We can erect a variety of fencing, including both panel and trellis.

We have over 14 years’ experience and have established a good, local reputation, mainly through word of mouth and recommendation. We look to build fences that not only look great but stand the test of time. We use treated timber wherever possible and can also carry out custom work. We can create any size panel with bespoke construction.


We never quote over the phone and always insist on seeing the job before providing an estimate - that way you're sure of a fair price and a great personal service. We aim to provide all estimates in writing within 7 days of our visit.


We also offer a free service to erect security panels to secure your garden until any work has been completed, we do however only have a limited amount of these Herras panels, so booking is recommended.


We do make our own featheredge panels, so we can make these to any size- within reason, we can also fit these panels into existing concrete posts where there are over hanging obstructions like trees and over hanging roof's.

We can solve most problems, some that others walk away from.


We provide the following fencing services…


  • Post and rail fencing
  • Panel fencing
  • Picket fencing
  • Trellis fencing
  • Close board and feather edge fencing
  • Non-standard sized fencing
  • Single Wooden Gates (pedestrian gates) only

And can also meet your requirements with the following…


  • Rose arches, raised beds and planters
  • Log store, mini-shed and wheelie bin hides
  • Fencing repair
  • Concrete supports
  • Pet housing and runs
  • Please NOTE WE DO NOT offer METAL FENCING OR METAL GATES, DOUBLE GATES OR FIELD GATES AND WE DO NOT DO LABOUR ONLY
