Fencing in Dalkeith can mean anything from putting right a damaged run to replacing whole sections, and we carry out fence repairs, replacement sections and timber fencing work. Here is how to get the job scoped and priced.

Homes in Dalkeith

Where your home sits in Dalkeith is a useful starting point. A house in the older stone-built centre and one on a twentieth-century or newer street can call for quite different fencing, so tell us which you have, along with what is in place now and how the boundary is reached. Wet ground is worth mentioning too, because posts set in concrete or on concrete spurs last longer in it. The photo shows new slatted fencing and a gate from our own finished work.

What matters for fencing in Dalkeith

The scope of any fence job rests on the existing fence, the rough length of the line, its condition and access. Once we have those, the choice usually falls among the options below. If you are unsure which fits, describe the fence and we can talk it through. On cover, we are fully insured and registered as a waste carrier.

  • Repair: for a fence that is largely sound but has damaged parts.
  • Replacement sections: where some lengths need renewing but the rest of the line can stay.
  • Timber fencing work: for a boundary that needs a new fence along its length.
  • If the fence will sit beside a road, check the height first, as limits before planning permission is needed are usually lower there.

Questions about fencing in Dalkeith

Can a gate be fitted as part of the job?

Our finished work includes new slatted fencing with a gate, as shown in the photo on this page. If you want a gate, mention it when you enquire so it can be discussed with the rest of the fence.

What should I put in my enquiry?

Say whether you need a repair or a replacement, give a rough length for the fence line, describe its condition and how the boundary is reached, and note any boundary or neighbour details that should be discussed.

Details that help

  • The approximate fence length and, if known, height
  • Whether you need a repair, replacement sections or other timber fencing work
  • Access to the fence line and any boundary or neighbour details to discuss
