Fencing Installers in Enfield

Enfield is full of bay fronted Edwardian and 1930s semis, and the gardens behind them tend to be more compact, which means privacy along the boundary matters as much as durability. We supply and fit closeboard, featheredge and panel fencing across Enfield and the surrounding areas, taking in Enfield Town, Bush Hill Park, Enfield Chase, Ponders End and the streets running towards Winchmore Hill. We can build closeboard fencing for a sturdier, more private finish, or panel fencing for a faster, more cost effective boundary. Gates, trellis toppers and staining or painting can all be added to finish the job properly, and every post is set in concrete with a gravel board underneath. With over 25 years of family experience and consistently strong reviews on TrustATrader, we can talk you through what will genuinely work on your plot. Quotes are free and there is no obligation.

Fencing in Enfield is priced after a free site visit, because the two things that decide the cost are the length of the run and what the ground is like. A straight boundary on level ground is quick. A sloping run, or one where old concrete posts have to come out, takes longer.

What moves the price up or down

The style you choose makes a difference, since closeboard is built board by board on site and takes longer than dropping in pre made panels. After that it is the height, whether you want concrete or timber posts, how many gates you need, whether trellis goes on top, and how easy it is to get materials down the side of the house. Taking away an old fence and disposing of it is usually part of the job too.

We put the figure in writing after the visit. The visit and the quote are both free, whether you go ahead or not.

Three styles cover most of the fencing we put up around Enfield, and the right one depends on how much privacy you want and what the budget is.

Closeboard

Built on site from individual featheredge boards overlapped onto arris rails. It is the strongest of the three, gives complete privacy, and because it is built rather than assembled it can follow a slope or an awkward line properly. If a board is damaged you replace that board, not the whole panel.

Featheredge

The same overlapping board look, and a good middle ground where you want something sturdier than a panel without the full closeboard build.

Panel fencing

Pre made panels dropped between posts. Quicker to install and the most cost effective option for a straightforward boundary. Lap panels are the budget choice, and heavier framed panels last considerably longer for not much more.

Gates and trellis

Gates built to match the fence rather than bought off the shelf, and trellis toppers where you want extra height and a bit of light rather than a solid wall.

Almost every fence we are called out to replace has failed at the posts, not the boards. The panels usually still look serviceable while the fence leans. That is why we spend the money below ground rather than on the bit you can see.

Timber posts set in concrete

A timber post driven into compacted earth will rot at ground level and start to lean within a few years. Set properly in a concrete footing, to a depth worked out for the height of the fence, the same post lasts far longer. Pressure treated timber resists rot considerably better than untreated softwood.

Concrete posts

They cost more and they are heavier to work with, but they take the rot risk away entirely. Worth considering on damp ground, on exposed boundaries, or on a fence line that has already failed once.

Gravel boards

A board along the base keeps the timber clear of wet soil. This is the single cheapest thing you can do to extend the life of a fence, and it is the thing most commonly left out.

Post spacing and depth

Worked out for the height and length of the run rather than guessed on site. Get it wrong on a tall fence and the first real gale finds the weakness.

This is how a fencing job runs in Enfield, start to finish.

Site visit. We measure the run, look at the ground and the levels, check for anything buried along the line and agree the boundary with you. Written quote after this, free either way.
Taking the old fence out. Panels, posts and old concrete footings out and away. Leaving old footings in the ground is a shortcut that forces the new posts out of line.
Setting out. The line is run and the post positions marked so the spacing is even along the whole boundary rather than fudged at the last post.
Posts. Holes dug to depth, posts set plumb and concreted, then left to go off before anything is hung on them.
Gravel boards. Set along the base so the timber above never sits in wet soil.
Boards or panels. Closeboard built board by board off the rails, or panels fixed between the posts, with the top line kept true whether the ground is level or not.
Gates and finishing. Gates hung and adjusted, post caps on, trellis fitted if you are having it, and the site cleared.

Most garden boundaries are done in one to three days depending on the length and how much old fencing has to come out.

  Amwell Driveways did an outstanding job on both my new driveway and the back fence. The team were organised, skilled, and clearly take real pride in their work. The driveway looks superb and the fence is solid, straight, and beautifully finished. Everything was completed on time and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I’m genuinely impressed and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship.

  We are really pleased with our new resin and porcelain patio in our garden.  It was finished to a really high standard.  The team, who were very punctual and professional, worked hard and cleaned up really well after themselves when the work was done.  The whole operation was very smooth from Paul initially coming round to discuss the options and provide a quote, to Martin managing the team over the five days that they were there building our new patio. After my experience, I would highly recommend Amwell Driveways.

  We approached Amwell to do a design and deliver landscape project for our house.  The work involved stripping the existing area of overgrown trees, lawns and block paving drive from the front and back of our house.  These were replaced with a resin-bound drive , new patio, lawns and beds ready for planting. The design work was carried out by Paul Williams from Amwell.  He is a highly experienced and knowledgeable professional who was able to offer us advice and insights to achieve a better result and avoid costly mistakes.  He was not at all pushy and there was no hard sell.  Perfect. The work was done in less than 2 weeks and to a very high standard.  We are delighted with the end result and have no hesitation recommending Amwell.

How much does new fencing cost in Enfield?

It comes down to the length of the run, the style, the height and what is already there. Closeboard costs more than panels because it is built on site board by board. Concrete posts cost more than timber. Taking away an old fence adds to it. We measure up and put a figure in writing after a free visit, with nothing to pay either way.

How long does a new fence take to put up?

One to three days for most garden boundaries. Longer if there is a lot of old fencing and old concrete to dig out, or if the run is long. Posts need time to go off before the boards go on, so we plan the days around that rather than rushing it.

Which side of the fence is mine?

There is no rule that makes it the left or the right, whatever you may have been told. It depends on your deeds and the title plan. If the boundary is not clear we will say so rather than guess, because putting a fence on the wrong line causes a lot of trouble later.

How tall can my fence be?

Generally up to 2 metres in a back garden, and 1 metre where it fronts a road, without needing planning permission. Conservation areas and listed properties have their own rules. We will flag anything that looks like it needs checking with the council before we book the work in.

Should I go for timber or concrete posts?

Timber posts set properly in concrete footings are fine for most gardens and cost less. Concrete posts are worth the extra on damp ground, on exposed boundaries, or where a timber fence has already rotted and failed once. We will tell you which we would use on your boundary.

Why did my last fence lean?

Almost always the posts. Either they were driven into earth rather than set in concrete, or they were set too shallow for the height, or there was no gravel board so the timber sat in wet soil and rotted at the base. The panels are usually the last thing to go.

Do you take the old fence away?

Yes, including the old posts and their concrete footings. Leaving old footings in the ground pushes the new posts out of line, so they come out as part of the job.

Can you paint or stain it?

Yes, and it is worth doing. Pressure treated timber resists rot on its own, but a stain adds another layer of protection and lets you pick a colour that suits the garden rather than living with orange brown.

Do you actually work in Enfield?

Yes. Enfield is part of the area we cover from our base in Ware, and we put up fencing there regularly. The people who come out to quote the job are the people who do it.

What guarantee do you give?

Every fencing installation comes with a 5 year workmanship guarantee from Amwell Driveways Ltd, and you get the paperwork on handover. Our Price Promise is matched against any written quote on the same materials and the same guarantee.
