Local coverage
Addlestone is part of our regular Surrey coverage, taking in KT15 and the surrounding Runnymede area, New Haw, Woodham, Rowtown and the roads towards Ottershaw and Chertsey. We work here for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial clients, and because it is a planned trip rather than a spontaneous one, we make the free site visit count and get the written quote back to you promptly, normally within 48 hours.
The ground is the main technical difference between Addlestone and our sandy Surrey Heath areas. This part of Runnymede sits on low-lying, clay-influenced soil close to the Wey and Bourne, which holds water in winter and shrinks in a dry summer. That seasonal movement works shallow posts loose, and standing water around a post base rots timber from the ground up. Depth, hole shape and drainage at the base are what decide whether a fence here lasts five years or fifteen.
The housing is a mix. Older cottages and interwar houses sit alongside big post-war estates and a substantial amount of newer development around the town centre and the Woodham and New Haw fringes. Gardens tend to be moderate to compact, boundaries are shared with several neighbours, and access is often through a single side passage. The newest plots typically arrive with minimum-spec lap panels and short posts, which is why upgrade work is so common here.
Repairs start from £150 + VAT with a 1 year guarantee: new fencing and decking carry up to 5 years depending on the style installed. Payment is due on the day of completion by card, bank transfer or cash. We hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance and employers' liability cover, and we are Checkatrade members.
Addlestone is a run east through Surrey from our Bracknell base at 17 Jay Corner, RG12 8HR. See our family-run fencing company in Bracknell, browse every fencing service we install or get a free fencing quote in Addlestone.
KT15 and the surrounding Runnymede area
Interwar and 1930s housing
Longer plots with substantial boundary runs, often with original concrete post systems still in place and timber that has been replaced piecemeal over decades.
Post-war estate housing
Regular plots across Addlestone and New Haw with long shared boundaries and rear gardens backing on to footpaths, garages and green space, screening and taller closeboard come up often.
New-build and town-centre development
Compact plots handed over with the cheapest compliant panels and short posts, on ground that holds water. These are the fences that start moving within a few winters of handover.
Rented and managed property
Let houses and flats where boundaries have been patched cheaply and ownership is unclear. We quote in writing, carry full insurance and coordinate access with tenants.

Why us here
Wet ground is unforgiving of shortcuts, and it is the reason we look at what is under a failing Addlestone fence before quoting for what goes above it. Robert and Sean Stephens, with over 20 years of fencing behind them, do the site visit and the installation, so the person who judged the ground is the person who sets the posts.
Terms are consistent wherever we work: free site visit, written quote normally within 48 hours, payment due on the day of completion by card, bank transfer or cash. Repairs carry a 1 year guarantee, new installations up to 5 years depending on style, and we hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance plus employers' liability cover as Checkatrade members.

Local conditions
Ground, weather, trees and the age of the boundary decide how long a fence lasts far more than the panel you pick off a shelf. These are the conditions we plan for in Addlestone.
Low-lying, clay-influenced ground near the Wey and Bourne holds winter water. A post hole in that soil can act like a bucket: fill it badly and the timber sits in standing water for months. That rots end grain from the base regardless of how good the panel above is, and it is why gravel boards and correct hole detail are not optional extras here.
Clay shrinks in a dry summer and swells again in winter. Repeat that cycle around a shallow post and the fence develops a slow lean nobody can quite date. Setting to depth, with a collar shaped to shed water away from the timber, is what interrupts the cycle, invisible work that decides the fence's life.
Recent development around Addlestone often pairs minimum-spec fencing with disturbed, made-up ground. Short posts in soft fill start moving within a few winters. Because these gardens are compact and regular, upgrading is quick predictable work, and the moment to decide between closeboard and composite rather than replacing the same thin panel again.
Most Addlestone gardens are reached through one side passage, with neighbours on three sides and sometimes a parking court behind. Materials and spoil have to be planned, and there are usually two or three parties with an interest in the boundary. We work off the physical line, flag where agreement is needed, and keep the disruption to the days stated on your quote.
Our process
Robert comes out at a time that suits you, walks the boundary, checks access for materials and spoil, and looks at ground conditions, clay, made-up ground, tree roots, services and levels all change what the job needs. Nothing is priced over the phone from guesswork.
You get a tailored written price, normally inside 48 hours of the visit and often sooner. It states the materials, the heights, the number of posts and boards, the expected duration and what is taken away. Payment is due on the day of completion.
Old materials are stripped out and removed, post positions are set off a string line, and holes are dug to depth rather than to whatever the ground allows. Getting this stage right is the difference between a fence that stays plumb and one that leans in two winters.
Posts are set and allowed to hold, gravel boards keep timber off the wet ground, and each bay is levelled and fixed as we go rather than corrected at the end. A standard domestic job is completed in one to two days.
We walk the finished line with you, check every fixing, gate swing and level, sweep the site and take the waste with us. Payment is due on the day of completion by card, bank transfer or cash; repairs carry a 1 year guarantee, new installations up to 5 years.
