Good To Know

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions about fencing, gates, decking and garden room projects in Dorset — costs, timescales, materials and guarantees.

Do you charge for quotes?+

No. Quotes and site visits are free and there's no obligation to book once you've had the price.

How long does a typical fence take?+

Most domestic boundaries are done in one to three days depending on length, access and whether old posts need digging out.

What timber do you use?+

Pressure-treated softwood as standard for fencing and subframes, with cedar, oak or composite options where you want a longer life or a particular look.

Do you take the old fence away?+

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old fencing, decking or gate is included in the quote unless you'd rather keep the timber.

Do you work in winter?+

We work year-round. Heavy rain can hold up concreting posts, but we'll always let you know in advance if a date needs moving.

Do you need planning permission for a garden room?+

Most garden rooms fall under permitted development, but it depends on size, height and position. We'll flag anything that looks like it needs checking with the council.
