Local Fencing Expertise in Putney
Working exclusively in Putney and nearby districts means we are familiar with local planning considerations, typical terrace layouts, side access constraints and shared boundary issues. We routinely work on riverside properties, mansion blocks, Victorian terraces and modern developments, tailoring our approach to your specific setting.
We understand how wind tunnels between properties, waterlogged corners and tree roots can affect the lifespan of your fence. That is why we take care with post depths, concrete support, drainage and material choice to ensure a stable, long‑term result.

Our Step‑by‑Step Fencing Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Once you contact Gardeners Putney, we discuss your requirements, budget and timescales. You are welcome to send photos and rough measurements to help us provide an initial indication of cost. We then offer a clear, no‑obligation quotation outlining materials, labour and any optional extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward panel replacement we can often work from photos. For full installations or complex boundaries, we arrange an onsite survey in Putney. We check access, ground conditions, existing structures, and any shared boundary considerations. We confirm the fence line, style, height and finish, and update your quote if needed so you know exactly what will be delivered.
3. Installation and Clean‑Up
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with all agreed materials. We remove old fencing where required, set posts to the correct depth with suitable concrete, and fix panels securely, checking alignment and levels as we go. We then clear away waste, sweep up and walk you through the finished work to ensure you are happy.
Transparent Fencing Pricing in Putney
Fencing costs vary depending on access, length, height and material choice. We price each job individually and explain how the cost is made up, so you can see the difference between cheaper standard panels and more robust or decorative options.
Typically, we price:
- Per metre or per panel for supply and installation
- Separately for disposal of old fencing, if required
- Separately for extra features such as gates or trellis
We do not hide charges. Any additional work (for example discovering buried concrete or unseen obstacles) is discussed with you before we proceed.
Why Choose Professional Fencers Over DIY
DIY fencing can appear cheaper at first glance, but in practice poor post depth, unsuitable fixings and misjudged levels are common, leading to panels blowing over or rotting prematurely. Our professional installers work with fencing every day, understand local soil conditions and have the right tools to install posts correctly and safely.
By using Gardeners Putney, you gain:
- Accurate setting out and straight fence lines
- Secure posts that resist wind and movement
- Less disruption and faster completion
- Workmanship backed by appropriate insurance
Insurance and Professional Standards
Gardeners Putney operates with full public liability cover, giving reassurance that you, your neighbours and your property are protected while we work. We also carry goods in transit insurance, so materials and equipment are covered while being transported to your Putney address.
Our team is trained in safe working practices, considerate use of tools in shared or tight spaces, and respectful behaviour around neighbours. We follow manufacturer recommendations for installation and use appropriate protective equipment to minimise risk during the job.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance durability, appearance and environmental responsibility. Where possible we use responsibly sourced timber and can advise on longer‑lasting treatments to reduce the need for premature replacement. When removing old fencing, we separate reusable materials and dispose of waste through licensed facilities.
We also take care to protect your existing planting and lawn. Where beds or shrubs sit close to the boundary, we plan post positions and working areas to minimise disturbance, and we will always discuss any plants that may need temporary pruning or relocation.
Real‑World Use Cases in Putney Gardens
Our fencing work often goes hand in hand with wider garden services. Typical projects include:
- Hedge Trimming – combining a new rear fence with hedge reduction for balanced privacy.
- Garden Maintenance – replacing damaged side panels while carrying out seasonal tidy‑ups.
- Lawn Mowing – installing a low, neat front fence to frame a regularly maintained lawn.
- Patio Cleaning – adding decorative screening or trellis next to freshly cleaned paving.
- Tree Surgery – renewing fences following tree removal or crown reduction along boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fencing in Putney typically cost?
The cost depends on fence length, height, style, access and the condition of your existing boundary. Simple panel replacement along a clear line is usually at the lower end, while full installations with concrete posts, gravel boards or bespoke designs cost more. After a short discussion and photos, we can give an initial guide price, then confirm with a survey if needed. All quotes are itemised so you can see how materials and labour contribute to the total, and we will never proceed with extra work without discussing it first.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent fencing repairs?
In stormy weather, blown‑down fences in Putney are common, and we understand the need for quick, safe solutions. Same‑day repair is not always possible, but we do prioritise urgent cases, especially where gardens are exposed or pets may escape. We can often attend promptly to make the area safe, remove dangerous panels and, where feasible, provide a temporary barrier. A full, permanent repair or replacement is then scheduled as soon as materials and diary space allow, and we keep you informed of timescales throughout.
Are your fencing services insured?
Yes. Gardeners Putney carries comprehensive public liability cover, which protects you, your property and neighbouring properties while we are working on site. In addition, our goods in transit insurance covers fencing materials and equipment as they are transported to your Putney address. This means that from delivery to installation you are dealing with a properly protected, professional service. We are happy to provide confirmation of cover on request, and we work to tidy, safe standards to minimise any risk of damage in the first place.
What exactly is included in your fencing service?
Our standard service covers the supply and installation of new posts, panels and fixings, together with the careful removal of old fencing if agreed in your quote. We take care of digging post holes, setting posts at appropriate depths, aligning and fixing panels, and tidying up afterwards. Options such as trellis, matching gates, gravel boards or decorative panels can be added if requested. Major landscaping changes, tree work or staining/painting are not automatically included, but we can incorporate or arrange these as extras and will always make this clear at quotation stage.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Lead times vary throughout the year. During late winter and early spring, when storm damage is common, fencing diaries can fill quickly. For planned projects, we recommend contacting us a few weeks ahead so you have a good choice of dates. Smaller repairs or short runs can often be fitted in sooner, depending on location and materials. Once you accept our quotation, we agree a firm installation date and keep you updated if lead times change due to material availability or weather conditions, so you can plan around the work confidently.
