Summary:
Broken fence post
Comments:
Phoned Neil just before Christmas about a fence post that had broke, he came round promptly and fixed it with a concrete support. A reliable and first rate Fencing Specialist that I have no hesitation in recommending.
Summary:
Remove 20 leylandii conifers that had become unmanageable - dismantle a rotting 30 year old wooden fence – replacing the 8 panels with feather board panels, concrete posts and gravel boards – additionally to remove another leylandii and replace with a 3 upright railway sleepers.
Comments:
This is the second contract Neil has carried out for me this year – so good was the first I got him back to sort out our rear boundary fence and at the same time remove 20 leylandii that had acted as a hedge but were now becoming unmanageable.
Once again Neil was on site bright and early on the first day – to take delivery of materials he had ordered for the project which was to dismantle a rotting 30 year old wooden fence – replacing the 8 panels with feather board panels, concrete posts and gravel boards.
The first part was to remove the conifers – cleverly done using an 8/16 tonne pull winch anchored to the strongest of the trees to pull against. This took some doing but finally after two days we got them all out with most of the roots as well.
Turning to the fence – digging out for the posts had to carefully controlled so as not to bring up any of the footpath adjacent to the fence - But both he and Josh met each situation that presented itself with renewed vigour – this despite the inclement Autumn they had to work in.
The quality of work done was excellent. Any problems which did arise were quickly resolved after a quick chat between me and Neil. What I really liked was that he kept me the client involved at all stages and when tweaks were needed – he did not just carry on regardless.
I would not hesitate to recommend Neil for his excellent quality of work – as an addition I also contracted him to remove another leylandii from our front garden and install three upright reclaimed railway sleepers as a structural feature – again much thinking on the hoof but the finished object looks brilliant.
Summary:
New fencing erected in back garden with soak away created, sleepers sunk in ground and paving finished with easy maintenance chippings around the shed.
Comments:
Very high standard workman, has an eye for perfection.
Willing to go the extra mile to get things right to please customer.
With the high rainfall experienced, he made sure the garden was mud free before leaving using power wash.
Summary:
This is the second boundary fence Neil has completed for me this year and I am very pleased and satisfied with all aspects of the work carried out.
Comments:
I am very satisfied with all apsects of the work Neil carried out. Neil communicated very well throughout the planning and made sure I was happy with the end results. A very professional workman who does an excellent job. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who required new or replacement fencing to be carried out.
Summary:
Neil replaced the fence between our house and our neighbours house.
Neil also carried out a couple of additional jobs. He fixed our back gate, and fixed a broken drawer in the kitchen.
Comments:
Neil was very thorough when quoting for the job. He spent time with both my neighbour and myself, and made it clear what the job entailed. The quote given was clear and precise.
Neil arrived on time on both days and carried out the work to the highest standard. Even though the weather was very wet, Neil completed the fence ahead of schedule and we were very pleased with the finished job.
Neil was very tidy and left the garden in very good condition.
Neil also fixed our back gate, and fixed a broken drawer in the kitchen, that we thought could not be repaired.
Overall I was very pleased with the work done, and will use Neil again in the future. I would definitely recommend Neil to others, as his quality of work is excellent.
Summary:
Weatherproofed garden fences.
Comments:
Neil was friendly, helpful and considerate.
He brought 2 colours of "paint" for me to choose between and returned the one I didn't want.
He was aware of the parking problems in the road and moved his van, when I asked, to avoid parking ouside a neighbour's house.
He also returned a few days later to repair my gate.
Summary:
New fence.
Comments:
Neil approached the job in a very professional manner.
His work was top quality and at no time did I feel he was trying to do unnecessary work as can happen with workmen - and increase the price!
His charges for the job were fair. He arrived on time and the work was completed on time.
I would have no second thoughts in using Neil again or recommending him to anyone who needs a good, quality fence!
He came to look at the job before giving a quote - not all Fence companies do! He also explained clearly what would be best for me and not just what would cost the most!
First class job by a very good company!!eil uses top quality products which are reflected in the good quality and finish of his work!
Summary:
Demolish a brick boundary wall (approx 7.5 tonnes of bricks!), erect a new fence and construct and install a front gate.
Comments:
We approached a number of builders for quotes but Neil came back with the most professional and detailed one with a reasonable charge too.
It took us months to obtain planning permission and Neil encouraged us to have everything checked out – we are very grateful for his patience and the suggestions he gave us during the ‘waiting game’.
Once the works started we couldn’t believe our luck – both Neil and his helpers –Jack and Josh were always on time, working really hard every day – even in the pouring rain. Throughout the work, Neil always took our comments on board and kept a close eye on the details. The job appeared more complex than we originally thought due to the amount of concrete foundations under the old wall that needed to be dug out for the new concrete posts but the quality of finish is remarkable. We are now proud owners of a beautiful timber fence with concrete posts and custom build front gate!
Neil has handled the job really well – from ordering materials and the skip, taking deliveries and building the fence - we could not have asked for more. He came up with a number of suggestions along the way too which were really valuable and even saved us some money!
Needless to say, we would and will recommend Neil to our friends in the future – we are currently waiting for a quote for the back gate as well!
Summary:
Five new fence panels and concrete posts and gravel boards.
Comments:
Neil was on time and arrived on the agreed date. He had carried out work for me previously and once again he has done a brilliant job and I am very pleased with the results - excellent quality of work.
Neil aims to please and pays great attention to detail. He is also very pleasant to have around and I would definitely recommend him.
I contacted Neil for a quote along with a couple of other fencing contractors. I was particularly impressed with his quick and efficient service and clear explanation of what fencing was best for the property. His quote was pretty much in line with the others but I decided to choose Neil due to his level of specialism, efficiency and attention to detail. I also contacted a customer of his who also said that "he wouldn't let anyone else do this kind of work for him but Neil".
Neil's attention to detail was exemplary and quality of work to a very high standard. The levels were quite difficult to work with, but Neil dealt with this issue with ease. The fence is of high quality, and the posts firm and straight. I now know that this fence will last many year and make my job as a landlady much easier and my tenants are very happy.
All debris was cleared away and the garden left tidy. If I have any future need for fencing work to be carried out, I would always use Neil and have no hesitation in recommending him. Fantastic. Thank you.
