Bridgend has older streets close to the centre, newer estates on the edges and a lot of busy gardens in between, and nearly every one of them has a fence that has seen better days. We put up new fences and replace tired panels and posts around Bridgend, fitting them square and tidy, and taking the old fence away when we finish.
You can ask about a short stretch to fix a gap or a complete new boundary. Either way, tell us what is there now and what you would like in its place, and we will agree the layout and style with you before we start the work.
On newer Bridgend estates, back gardens are often built with fences shared between neighbours, and these can be thin, light and quick to wear out. Replacing them with sturdier close-board or well-made panel fencing makes a real difference to both privacy and noise. We fit posts firmly, keep the panels level and use gravel boards to protect the base of the timber. It is a worthwhile upgrade.
Shared fences also raise the question of whose responsibility they are. We cannot decide that for you, but we can build once you and your neighbour have agreed the line. A quick conversation first makes the whole job go more smoothly, and avoids awkwardness when the old fence comes out and the new one goes in. We then get on with the job.
Bridgend's older streets have gardens of all shapes, with sloping ground, odd corners and boundaries that have changed over the years. A fence has to follow those lines, which means stepping panels, trimming them to fit and setting posts where the ground allows. We study the plot before we start so the finished run looks deliberate rather than patched. That is how a fence ought to look.
With the Vale and the valley edges close by, wind can be a factor in more open gardens. Where that is the case, we recommend a sturdy build and well-set posts. In a sheltered yard, a lighter panel fence can be enough. We tell you plainly which we would choose for your Bridgend garden and why. Wind is rarely the only factor, so we look at the whole garden.
Check the boundary with your neighbours and, if the fence is tall or beside a road, check height limits with the council. Once that is settled we remove the old fence, clear the line and fit the new one in Bridgend. We also work in Pencoed, Porthcawl, Ogmore-by-Sea, Brackla and Coity, so tell us where you are and we will arrange a visit.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Bridgend.

For privacy, solid timber close-board or well-made lapped panels on firm posts usually work well, provided the fence suits your wind, slope and boundary.
Read the guide →Timber is the familiar, adaptable choice for most gardens, while composite trades a higher outlay for less upkeep, so the right answer depends on your priorities.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.
Read the guide →Yes, once you have both agreed the line and who is responsible. We take out the old panels and posts and fit the new ones. A short conversation with your neighbour beforehand saves any confusion when we turn up.
Close-board uses overlapping vertical boards on rails and is solid and strong. Panel fencing uses ready-made sections between posts, and it is quicker to fit. We can explain which suits your garden, considering wind and privacy. Both can last well if built properly.
Yes. We remove the old panels, posts and fixings, and take them with us. We leave the line clear so you can see the new fence properly once it is up. That includes old concrete bases where we can lift them.
