Can anyone recommend me a fencing company (as in wooden fences, not sword fighting).

[ViolaTricolor]

As above, really! I am ignorant of all things fence related.

[MissingMySleep]

I am in a different area but recently found one I am happy with from check a trade, I could see photos of previous work and see how people had rated him

Thanks MMC .

Bumping, in the hope that other Cambridge fence conoisseurs might be around...

No help here but I need one too!! Or someone (a builder?!) that can build us a garden wall. I am assuming that a fence will be cheaper but having said that I am basing that on absolutely no knowledge about these things whatsoever. :)

[ViolaTricolor]

Fence should be cheaper I reckon, but then I know nothing either. We could just fill this thread with professions of ignorance about fences . I've asked some people to come and quote so I'll pass on any good tips.

[thegrowlygus]

Cheers! I am clueless. Although our neighbour said that the people that live a few doors down had their fence put up and then a right to-do with the council because it was too tall/too near road/too green/too fencey I dunno. All I want is some barrier to stop my children (and dog) legging it out onto the road!!

[ViolaTricolor]

Oh no - hidden dangers I hadn't even thought of worrying about! Ours is a back garden fence so hopefully less scrutinised.

[MamaChocoholic]

can heartily recommend fence and fix. but don't take my word for it, see reviews

[AntonDuBurk]

If anyone is near to Great Shelford/Stapleford I'd be happy to recommend the local guy who did our fence.

Warning - fences cost a lot more than you think they should!! This guy was pretty reasonable (we did some comparisons) but boy, this fence had better outlive me That said there are cheap options - wooden posts/fence panels - or expensive - concrete posts/feather boards so you do have some flexibility.

at "too fency"

[ViolaTricolor]

Ohh thanks MamaC! I'll give them a call. Anton, I am already braced for some hideous figure. There must be a reason why the current one has been left to slowly disintegrate for 80 years. I'll be sure to say I don't want anything 'too fency'.

[zoley]

I was going to recommend the company that did our fence 2 years ago called G&P fencing but rather unhelpfully I can't find any details for them... They did a lovely job - all wooden, fairly fency!
