Local coverage
Ascot borders Bracknell, which makes it one of the closest areas we cover. We work across SL5, Ascot itself, North Ascot, South Ascot, Sunninghill, Sunningdale and the lanes around Cheapside and Winkfield Row, for homeowners, estate managers, landlords and commercial clients.
Fencing in Ascot is a different job from fencing on a town estate. Plots are generally larger, boundary runs are longer, and a lot of the work is visible from the road or a private lane, so a run that wanders off the line is obvious to everyone. Long runs also mean small errors compound: get post spacing or the string line slightly wrong on a fifty-metre boundary and the top line tells the story from the house.
The ground here is varied. Parts of Ascot sit on free-draining sand and gravel like the neighbouring heathland, other parts on heavier soil, and many gardens are dominated by mature trees, rhododendron and established hedging that have been there far longer than the current fence. Root plates, deep leaf litter and permanently shaded runs all change how a fence should be built and where posts can go.
Alongside closeboard and composite garden fencing we do a lot of post-and-rail, estate-style fencing, screening and wooden or metal driveway and entrance gates in this area. We do not fit automated or electric gates. Every job starts with a free site visit and a written quote, normally within 48 hours, with payment due on completion. Repairs start from £150 + VAT with a 1 year guarantee: new installations carry up to 5 years depending on style. We hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance and employers' liability cover.
Ascot is a short drive east from our base at 17 Jay Corner, Bracknell RG12 8HR. See our family-run fencing company in Bracknell, browse every fencing service we install or get a free fencing quote in Ascot.
SL5, including Sunningdale, Sunninghill, North Ascot and Cheapside
Large detached houses and private grounds
Long perimeter boundaries, mixed hedge and fence lines, and frontages that need to look considered from the road. Post-and-rail, estate fencing and tall closeboard behind planting are all common.
Sunningdale and Sunninghill village property
A mix of period and 20th-century houses on generous plots, often with old brick walls, gravel drives and level changes between garden and driveway that a fence run has to step cleanly.
North Ascot estate housing
Regular family plots where standard closeboard and panel work dominates, plus plenty of gardens backing on to woodland belts and open ground where wind loading matters.
Paddocks, stables and equestrian boundaries
Post-and-rail, stock fencing and field gates on plots around Cheapside and Winkfield Row, where the fence has a containment job to do rather than a decorative one.

Why us here
Long, visible boundaries are unforgiving work, and they are the reason experience matters more here than material choice. Robert and Sean Stephens have been fencing across Berkshire and Surrey for over 20 years; they price the job on site and then build it, so nothing is lost between quote and delivery.
The terms do not change with the postcode: free site visit, written quote normally within 48 hours, payment due on completion by card, bank transfer or cash. Repairs carry a 1 year guarantee, new fencing and decking up to 5 years depending on style, and we hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance with employers' liability cover. Our Checkatrade profile can be read before you commit.

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 Ascot.
On a short suburban run you can absorb a few millimetres of drift. On an Ascot boundary of forty or fifty metres you cannot: uneven post spacing, a string line taken off a wandering old fence, or bays set to whatever the ground allows all show up as a top line that dips and rises. We set out from a fresh line and a measured post spacing rather than following the failed fence we are removing.
Many boundaries here run through or alongside established trees, hedges and rhododendron. Roots dictate where posts can go, and years of leaf litter mean the base of a fence sits in damp organic material that rots untreated timber quickly. Post positions get planned around roots and gravel boards keep the timber clear of the ground rather than buried in it.
Gardens backing on to woodland, paddock or open ground in Ascot and North Ascot take the full force of a westerly gale, and tall solid panels act as sails. Post depth, spacing and the choice between solid panel and closeboard are wind-loading decisions as much as aesthetic ones, and where trees overhang, a falling limb is a real risk we allow for when checking the structure around damage.
Ascot plots frequently step between driveway, garden and paddock, and fences meet old brickwork, gravel and hedging rather than a neat concrete edge. A run has to step down a slope in clean increments instead of drifting, gates need a consistent gap over gravel that will move, and new timber should not be fixed rigidly to old walls. These are the details that get discussed on the site visit and written into the 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.
