Our Step‑by‑Step Fencing Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
You contact us with a brief description of your fencing needs in Wimbledon. If you can provide photos and rough measurements, we can often give a provisional estimate. We will ask about access, existing fences, boundaries and any specific requirements such as increased privacy or pet‑safe gardens.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We then arrange either a virtual survey (using photos and video) or an onsite visit, depending on the complexity of the job. For most full fence replacements, we recommend an onsite survey. During this visit we:
- Confirm measurements and boundaries
- Check ground conditions and obstacles
- Assess access for materials
- Discuss styles, heights and finishes
- Highlight any planning or neighbour considerations
3. Written Quotation and Booking
After the survey, you receive a clear written quote outlining materials, labour, any waste removal and the expected timescale. Once you approve the quote, we agree a start date that fits around your schedule.
4. Professional Installation
Our trained fencing team arrives on the agreed day, carries out the work safely and keeps disruption to a minimum. We protect existing planting where possible and keep your paths and access routes usable during the job.
5. Handover and Aftercare Advice
When the fence is complete, we walk you through the work, check you are happy with the result and provide simple maintenance advice, such as when to apply the first coat of stain or preservative.
Transparent Fencing Pricing in Wimbledon
Fencing costs depend mainly on fence type, length, height, access and ground conditions. We prefer to keep pricing straightforward and fully explained. Your quotation will clearly separate:
- Materials – panels, posts, gravel boards, concrete, fixings
- Labour – installation time, repairs, adjustments
- Optional extras – old fence removal, staining, trellis tops
We do not give unrealistic “from” prices and then increase them later. Instead, we base our quote on real measurements and your chosen specification, so you know where every pound is going.
Why Use Professional Gardeners for Fencing Instead of DIY?
Garden fencing looks straightforward, but poor installation can lead to leaning posts, panels that rattle in the wind and disputes over boundary lines. Using professional gardeners gives you:
- Accurate setting out along true boundaries
- Correct post depths and concrete footing sizes
- Secure fixing methods for longevity
- Practical solutions for slopes, trees and obstacles
- Efficient completion, often in a single visit for typical gardens
You also avoid the hidden costs of hiring tools, transporting heavy materials and disposing of old fencing yourself. Most importantly, a professionally installed fence is safer and tends to last noticeably longer.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Gardeners Wimbledon operates to clear, reliable standards on every project. We are fully covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your materials while they are being delivered and transported
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of damage or incident on site
Our team members are trained in safe tool use, safe manual handling and considerate work practices around homes and businesses. We treat your property as we would our own and keep work areas as tidy as possible throughout the job.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a practical but responsible approach to fencing in Wimbledon:
- Where suitable, we recommend responsibly sourced timber
- We encourage preserving usable existing posts or sections where it is safe and sensible
- We dispose of old fencing through licensed waste channels
- We protect neighbouring plants and lawns as far as possible during installation
- We can suggest planting schemes to soften new fences and encourage wildlife
By thinking about the long‑term performance of your fence and the surrounding planting, we help you create an outdoor space that is both secure and pleasant to spend time in.
Real‑World Use Cases with Our Other Gardening Services
Fencing often goes hand in hand with broader garden work. In Wimbledon, many clients combine fencing with:
Hedge Trimming and Boundary Definition
We frequently install a low, neat fence behind existing hedges to strengthen boundaries and keep pets safe, followed by regular Hedge Trimming to maintain a tidy line.
Garden Maintenance and Tidy‑Ups
When carrying out one‑off or regular Garden Maintenance, we often spot failing posts or rotten panels. Replacing these at the same time keeps the whole garden looking cared‑for and safe.
Lawn Mowing and Family Gardens
Families who engage us for Lawn Mowing and seasonal tidy‑ups often ask for higher, solid fencing to create a child‑ and dog‑friendly garden that is secure and private.
Patio Cleaning and Smart Outdoor Spaces
During Patio Cleaning projects, upgrading the surrounding fencing or adding trellis screens can dramatically improve the look and feel of seating areas, bin stores and side returns.
Tree Surgery and Fence Protection
Our Tree Surgery work sometimes involves reducing or reshaping trees that are pushing against fences. Careful pruning can protect your fencing investment and reduce future damage risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fencing in Wimbledon typically cost?
The cost of fencing depends on the type of fence, total length, height, access and ground conditions. As a rough guide, straightforward panel fencing with good access will be at the lower end of the scale, while closeboard fencing, concrete posts or difficult access will increase the price. After a short discussion and survey, we provide a detailed written quotation that breaks down materials, labour and any waste removal, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you decide.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent fencing work?
Same‑day full installations are rare as most fencing requires ordered materials and proper planning, but we understand that storm damage and security issues can be urgent. Where possible, we will attend quickly to make a fence line safe, carry out temporary repairs or secure gaps, then return to complete a permanent solution once materials arrive. Let us know the urgency when you contact us, and we will prioritise accordingly within our existing schedule.
Are you insured while working on my property?
Yes. We hold appropriate public liability cover for working on domestic and commercial properties in Wimbledon, as well as goods in transit insurance for materials we transport. This means you are protected in the unlikely event that something goes wrong during delivery or installation. We work carefully to avoid damage, but you can have peace of mind knowing there is formal protection in place, aligned with recognised industry standards and best practice for professional gardening and fencing work.
What is included in a typical fencing service?
A standard fencing service includes an initial consultation, a survey (virtual or onsite), supply of agreed fencing materials, posts and fixings, full installation and alignment, and a basic tidy‑up of the work area. If requested in advance, we can also remove old fencing and dispose of it responsibly. Items such as painting, staining, major landscaping or tree removal are not included as standard, but we are happy to price these separately so you have a clear picture of what your project involves.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Lead times vary throughout the year, but for most fencing projects in Wimbledon we recommend contacting us at least two to three weeks before you would like the work done. This allows time for a survey, material ordering and scheduling. During busy seasons or after storms, demand can be higher, so earlier booking is advisable. If your job is urgent, let us know and we will do our best to find a suitable date, even if that means splitting the work into temporary and permanent stages.
