Local considerations we plan for

Gosforth is characterised by mix of 1930s semis, generous front gardens and busy suburban high streets. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Kenton and Fawdon too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of garden fencing spec that actually holds up here.

Common questions from homeowners

Do you offer a guarantee?+

We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.

Do I need planning permission?+

For most private residential garden fencing installations the answer is no, provided the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway within the property. We'll flag anything unusual before we start.

What about drainage and SUDS?+

Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.

Are you insured?+

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.

Can you work around parked cars?+

On High Street-style layouts we normally coordinate access up front so vehicles can be moved for the working day. It rarely needs more than a short conversation with neighbours.
