Fencing Gates in Dartford, Kent

If you're after a fence that's going to go the distance, you really can't beat close board, often called feather edge. It's the gold standard for a reason. Instead of using flimsy pre-made panels, we build these on-site using overlapping vertical boards. We secure them to sturdy horizontal arris rails, creating a solid wall of timber that offers zero gaps for prying eyes. It's incredibly robust against high winds because the structure is integrated rather than just slotted into a post. Most families we chat with in Dartford choose this when they want that perfect mix of security and a classic look that never goes out of fashion.

Have you ever noticed how fences always seem to fail right at the bottom? That's usually because the timber is sitting directly in the damp Dartford soil, soaking up moisture like a sponge. To stop this from happening, we always recommend using concrete gravel boards. These act as a protective barrier between the ground and your fence panels, keeping the wood dry and rot-free. We pair these with heavy-duty posts sunk deep into the ground using high-strength Postcrete. It might seem like a small detail, but it’s the difference between a fence that lasts five years and one that’s still standing strong in fifteen.

Looking for something a bit more 'Grand Designs'? If the traditional look isn't for you, our horizontal slatted or Venetian-style fencing is a fantastic way to bring your garden into the 21st century. These panels are brilliant for smaller gardens in Dartford because the tiny gaps between the slats allow light to filter through, making your outdoor space feel much airier and larger than it actually is. You still get the privacy you need, but without that 'boxed-in' feeling. We can even install composite fencing if you're tired of the yearly ritual of painting and staining; it’s virtually maintenance-free and looks sharp year-round.

A beautiful new fence deserves a gate that actually shuts properly, wouldn't you agree? There's nothing more frustrating than a side gate that drags on the floor or won't latch because it's warped in the rain. We hand-build our gates to the exact millimetre of your opening, ensuring a perfect fit every time. From heavy-duty driveway gates that make a real statement to secure side entrances fitted with premium ironmongery, we make sure they're as tough as they are attractive. We use thick, pressure-treated timber and high-quality bolts and latches, so you can sleep soundly knowing your property is properly secured.
