Fencing Gates in Gravesend, Kent

<p>When most people in Gravesham ask us for a 'proper' fence, they’re usually thinking of Close Board—or Feather Edge as you might call it. It’s the gold standard for a reason. Each vertical board overlaps the next, creating a solid, heavy-duty barrier that’s brilliant for privacy. We don't just nail it together and hope for the best; we use pressure-treated timber and sturdy arris rails to give it real backbone. To stop the bottom of your fence rotting in the damp Kent soil, we always recommend concrete gravel boards. Pair those with posts set deep in high-strength Postcrete, and you’ve got a fence that can handle whatever the British weather throws at it.</p>

<p>Fancy something a bit more modern? We’re seeing more and more homeowners in areas like Shorne and Meopham opting for horizontal slatted or 'Venetian' fencing. These are fantastic if you want to give your garden a bit of a designer feel without losing that sense of seclusion. They allow light to filter through, which is a lifesaver for smaller gardens that can feel a bit boxed in by solid panels. We also install traditional picket fencing for front gardens, giving you that classic kerb appeal while keeping your boundaries clear. Whatever your style, we’ll make sure it's fitted with precision and care.</p>

<p>There’s nothing more annoying than a side gate that drags on the floor or won't latch properly, is there? A good gate should be effortless. We hand-build bespoke garden gates that match your new fencing perfectly. Whether you need a small pedestrian gate for the side of the house or a wider entrance for your driveway, we use heavy-duty ironmongery—proper hinges, secure bolts, and sturdy latches—so it stays sag-free and secure. It’s that final piece of the puzzle that makes your home feel safe and finished. We can even install security-focused timber gates that provide a robust deterrent while still looking the part.</p>

<p>Sometimes you don't need a whole new run of fencing; you just need a bit of expert TLC. If a single post has rotted at the base or a couple of panels have popped out during a gale, give us a shout. We're often out in Chalk and Higham helping people patch things up before a small problem becomes a big, expensive one. Our team can replace individual posts, secure loose rails, or swap out damaged panels to match your existing fence. We’ll always give you an honest opinion on whether a repair is a sensible fix or if it’s time to think about a replacement. No pushy sales talk, just practical advice from local contractors who know their trade.</p>
