Homes in Livingston

Livingston grew as a new town, and most of its homes date from the nineteen-sixties onwards. For a house of any era, the quote is shaped by what is on the boundary now: its condition, roughly how far it runs and how it can be reached. Where a garden boundary runs next to a road, fences usually have lower height limits before planning permission is needed, which is worth checking before you pick a height. If the ground stays wet, posts set in concrete or on concrete spurs last longer. The photo on this page shows a fence from our own finished work.

What matters for fencing in Livingston

Getting a fence priced starts with you. Let us know whether you are after a repair or a replacement, what fencing is there at present, the rough length and condition of the line, and how the boundary is reached. If there are boundary or neighbour points to settle, put them in your first message. The more of this you can give us up front, the more closely the quote can match the job.

  • Walk the fence line and note any leaning posts, broken panels or gaps.
  • Pace out or estimate the length; an approximate figure is all that is asked for.
  • Think about how the boundary is reached from the street or the house, as access affects the scope.
  • Note which neighbours share the fence and whether anything needs agreeing with them.

Questions about fencing in Livingston

Do you only do repairs, or full new fences too?

Both. As well as repairs, we fit replacement sections and carry out timber fencing work. Which one suits depends on the condition of the fence you have and how much of the line is affected.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured and also a registered waste carrier. If you want details of either, ask when you enquire.
