How our fence installation service in London usually goes
- First, you need to schedule a survey and tell us what you need to be done – do you need a whole new fence installed or just some repairs on your old one? For some small fence repairs and fence panel replacements, we might be able to give you a quote based on photos alone, so it's a good idea to send us some. You can do this at checkout in our online booking form.
- If the photos you send to us don't give enough information, we will send a surveyor to your property. He will take all the required measurements and carefully examine the area. You can talk through your ideas about the project, too.
- Your quote will be ready and sent in 3 to 5 working days. It will describe in detail labour price and the cost of all fencing materials.
- If you are happy with the quote, we will then schedule your appointment and a team will come to your property to finish the job.
Note: Make sure to attach quality photos of your property. This is necessary because, as mentioned above, we might be able to give you an exact quote based on them and save time.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need planning permission to put a fence up?
Q: How high can I put a trellis?
A: They are a great addition to any fence, but you should take into account that trellis high is also included in the 2m rule for max fencing height before planning permission is needed.
Q: How long will it take you to install a fence?
A: It depends on the type of the fence, the amount of work that’s needed and the complexity of the project.
Q: How can I maintain my new fence in a good condition?
A: Staining and regular painting can significantly increase durability. They will protect the wood and its natural oils from harsh weather conditions like heavy rains, extreme cold, or strong sun.
Q: How much does it cost to put a fence up around my yard?
A: All prices are per project. After an on-site viewing and consultation with our experts about the type of panels you want, how tall and long you need the fence, you will receive a written quote with the final price of the job.
Q: Who owns a fence between two properties?
A: The ownership and responsibility of a fence depend on which property it is assigned to. A common way to guess who's the owner is to assume that the neighbour gets the 'good' side of the fence. There is no certain rule about who owns the left or right side of the fence, but If you can check the ownership documents, there should be T and H marks that clearly resolve the dispute.
Q: Can I repair a neighbours' fence that is falling into my garden?
A: You may be wondering if it's okay to repair your neighbor's fence that is falling into your garden. The answer is, it depends. If you have their permission, then you are free to repair the fence yourself. However, if you don't have their permission, your attempt to help will be considered trespassing. Another solution is to build a new fence in your property, parallel to the broken one.
Q: Do you have a guarantee for the fence installation and repairs?
A: Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and in the event of any issues with the service, our team will work to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
Q: How often should you replace a wooden fence?
A: Owning a property requires replacing old structures like wooden fences. To ensure that the fence is kept in good condition, it's advisable to plan for replacement every ten years. Fantastic Gardeners offers an excellent solution for those times when you need maintenance or repairs done on your fence with professional services and competitive rates.
Q: When a fence is damaged, who is responsible for the repairs?
A: Typically, it is the responsibility of the owner to take care of any fence repair issues. However, when it comes to party walls and fences, both neighbours share responsibility for maintenance.
Q: Can I paint my garden fence?
A: If both sides of the fence are on your property, you can paint them. However, if one side is in your neighbour's garden, you can only paint your side of the fence. When the fence that separates your property from your neighbours is owned by them, you will need to ask for their permission before making any alterations, such as painting it.
Q: Do I need to re-stain or seal my fence regularly to maintain its condition?
A: To keep your fence in good condition, it's important to stick to the manufacturer's guidelines. Yet when it comes to wood fencing, it is usually advised that it should be stained every five years and the sealer reapplied every two or three.
Q: What is the best time of year to install a fence?
A: Fences can be installed at any time of year, but weather can affect installation times. Spring and summer are often the busiest seasons for fence installation.
Q: How much does fencing cost?
A: When it comes to fence installation costs, each project's specifics are taken into consideration. After a survey of your property, you will be provided with a comprehensive quote breaking down all necessary components, such as material and labour fees.
