Local Fencing Expertise in Wandsworth
Working across Wandsworth every day, we’re familiar with typical garden layouts, soil types and exposure to wind along streets such as East Hill, West Hill and around Wandsworth Common. We also understand local considerations such as neighbouring boundaries, shared fences, and the look and feel of traditional properties and newer developments.
Where needed, we’ll advise you to check any height restrictions or planning considerations, and we’re happy to liaise with neighbours about boundary lines and shared costs if you wish.

Our Step‑by‑Step Fencing Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Gardeners Wandsworth by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask for:
- Address and access details
- Approximate fence length and height
- Any photos of the current fence and garden
- Your preferences for fence style and budget
With this information, we can often provide an initial guide price. If it’s within your expectations, we arrange the next step.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For smaller, straightforward runs we may complete a virtual survey using photos and measurements you provide. For larger or more complex boundaries, we’ll schedule an onsite survey at a time that suits you. During the survey we will:
- Measure the fence line accurately
- Check ground conditions and access
- Identify any obstacles such as trees, sheds or walls
- Discuss fence styles, materials and lifespan
We then email a fixed written quote with a clear breakdown of labour and materials, plus any optional extras.
3. Installation Day
On the agreed date we arrive on time, introduce the team and confirm the fence line with you. We then:
- Carefully remove old fencing
- Set out and install new posts
- Fix panels, boards or rails securely
- Check levels and alignment as we go
- Leave the site tidy and ready to use
Transparent Fencing Pricing
We price fencing in Wandsworth based on:
- Length and height of fence
- Type of fencing (closeboard, panels, picket, trellis)
- Post type (timber or concrete) and number
- Access, ground conditions and waste removal
Your written quote will clearly separate materials from labour, and outline any optional extras so you know exactly what you are paying for. We do not add hidden charges on the day.
Why Choose Professional Fencers Over DIY?
Fencing looks straightforward, but doing it well and safely takes experience. Choosing professional installers like Gardeners Wandsworth means:
- Accurate setting of posts for a straight, solid fence
- Correct concrete mixes and depths to withstand wind
- Knowledge of how fences interact with plants and roots
- Reduced risk of disputes by respecting boundary lines
- No need for you to hire specialist tools or dispose of waste
A poorly installed fence often fails in the first strong storm, costing more in the long run than bringing in experienced tradespeople from the start.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Gardeners Wandsworth is fully committed to safe, accountable work. We carry:
- Public liability cover – to protect you and your property while we work
- Goods in transit insurance – covering materials while being transported to your site
Our team is fully insured, trained in safe use of tools and equipment, and we follow industry best practices for fencing and general garden works.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance sturdy fencing with responsible gardening:
- Using sustainably sourced timber where available
- Recommending pressure‑treated posts and boards for longevity
- Working carefully around existing plants and wildlife habitats
- Re‑using sound materials where this makes sense and you request it
- Disposing of waste through licensed facilities
Where possible, we suggest designs that allow for climbers and hedging, so your new fence can support a greener, more wildlife‑friendly garden.
Real‑World Garden Use Cases
Fencing rarely stands alone – it often works alongside our other gardening services in Wandsworth:
- Hedge Trimming – shaping or reducing hedges that run against new fences.
- Garden Maintenance – regular visits to keep beds, borders and boundaries in good condition after a new fence is installed.
- Lawn Mowing – defining clean lawn edges against new fence lines.
- Patio Cleaning – refreshing patios and paths that meet fences, especially after messy removals.
- Tree Surgery – managing trees whose roots or branches are affecting fencing stability.
By using one experienced local team for both fencing and ongoing garden care, you keep your outdoor space coherent, safe and easy to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fencing in Wandsworth typically cost?
The cost depends mainly on the length and height of the fence, the style you choose and how accessible the site is. Simple lap panels with timber posts are usually the most economical, while closeboard fencing with concrete posts and gravel boards costs more but lasts longer. After a short call and a virtual or onsite survey, we provide a detailed written quote so you can see exactly where your money goes. There are no hidden extras – waste removal, materials and labour are all itemised.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent fencing repairs?
For full installations, same‑day work is rarely realistic because we need time to source the correct materials and plan the job properly. However, if you have storm damage or a security issue in Wandsworth, we’ll always try to prioritise urgent fence repairs. In some cases we can provide temporary make‑safe solutions, such as propping or short replacement sections, until a full repair or replacement can be scheduled. Contact us as early as you can, ideally with photos, and we’ll advise on the fastest practical option.
Are you insured while working on my property?
Yes. Gardeners Wandsworth operates with comprehensive public liability cover, which protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our work. We also carry goods in transit insurance, so your materials are covered while being transported. Our team is experienced, follows safe working practices and uses appropriate tools for fencing tasks. We are always happy to share details of our insurance on request, giving you confidence that your property and your neighbours’ properties are properly protected throughout the project.
What is included in a standard fencing service?
A typical fencing service includes an initial discussion, a survey (virtual or onsite), supply of agreed materials, removal of old fencing where specified, installation of new posts and panels, and a full tidy‑up at the end. We set posts in concrete where required, ensure fences are aligned and level, and cut panels to fit as necessary. Optional extras can include gates, trellis toppers and staining or painting. Tree work, major landscaping and legal boundary advice are not included as standard but can often be arranged separately if needed.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Lead times vary with the season. In busier months such as spring and early summer, fencing slots in Wandsworth can book up a few weeks ahead, especially for larger runs or more complex projects. Smaller repairs and short sections are sometimes available sooner. As a guide, booking two to four weeks in advance usually gives plenty of choice on dates, but we will always try to accommodate urgent issues where possible. Once you approve the quote, we reserve your slot and confirm everything in writing.
