fence advice - south london

Hi All,

We are in Norwood and looking to get our side of the fences in the garden replaced, wooden posts need to be replaced with concrete ones too.

Has anyone had similar done and can recommend someone in South / South East London, or even out towards Beckenham, Croydon etc?

Thanks!

No recs but definitely give your neighbours a heads up before work commences

You asked this exact question last year
and the year before!

We ran out of DIY funds and never got around to doing it! But now they are starting to crumble and so it needs doing.

It took me ten minutes to figure out how to search my previous posts, so I don't know how you did it so fast! But never found anyone good that was available, had a few quotes from checkatrade people I found, which will probably be fine, but suggestions always feel a bit safer!

None were suitable: I got no response from one. Another had a website that my browser still tells me is unsafe, but I might now risk it. And another was just doing very bespoke fencing beyond my budget.

From previous experience trying to find tradespeople, I need as many options as possible in order to find one that is available, affordable, and will do what is needed.

Also, on my browser I need to go to 'advance search' to get any decent search results.
