Fencing FAQ's

Q.  How do I know which fence is my responsibility?

A.  You should contact the solicitor who acted for you when you purchased your property.  He will look at the deeds and advise you which fence is who's responsibility.

Q. What if the fence that I want replaced is not my responsibility, but my neighbours?

A.  You have a few choices.  The first option (depending on the circumstances and relationship with your neighbour, might be to knock and advise them that your are considering replacing your fences but that you have discovered that the one you really want renewed is their responsibility.  You could then offer to pay half towards the cost, or if you can afford it, you could ask them if they object to you paying all the cost.

The other option is to have your new fence put up within your land, next to the old fence.  Therefore you will not see the old fence any more, and your neighbours will not notice any difference.

Q. Do I have to treat your fence after you have installed it for me?

A.  No.  You do not have to anything other than enjoy your new fence!  However, if you prefer to change the colour, you can further treat them yourself.

Q. How long will it take to have my new fences erected?

A.  Depending on our workload we should be able to book your job in from about 2 weeks after we visit you to quote.  Once we arrive, we get straight to work and have most jobs completed within two working days.  However, larger installations may take longer.  We will advise you when we carry out your quotation.
