What our Birtley fencers do
Closeboard fence install

Closeboard quote →Panel fence install
Lap or overlap panels between concrete or timber posts — usually faster than closeboard and a tighter fit for budget-led Birtley jobs.

Heavy clay soil in pockets around Lamesley and Ouston — rapid-set postcrete is essential, otherwise posts move before the concrete sets properly. Birtley's hilly streets mean we'll often step a fence (each panel level, drop between posts) rather than rake it (panel follows the slope) — looks neater and lasts longer.
Areas we install in: Lamesley, Vigo, Eighton Banks, Kibblesworth, Ouston, Pelton Fell, Ravensworth. Plus surrounding villages and postcodes (DH3, NE11). If you're not sure if we cover you, drop your postcode in the quote form.
Common questions for Birtley fencers
Will your truck get up the steep Birtley and Eighton Banks streets?
Yes — we use smaller tippers for any street where a full-size can't turn. If you're on a particularly tight or steep one, mention it on the quote and we'll spec the right vehicle. Walked-in delivery is also an option for shorter loads.
How long does a fence install in Birtley usually take?
A standard 15–25m run of 6ft closeboard takes a two-person team about a day. Bigger runs, or jobs with old fence to take out, run to 2 or 3 days. We confirm the time estimate in writing on the quote so there's no surprise.
How much does fence installation cost in Birtley?
Most domestic 5–6ft closeboard fence installs in Birtley land in the £45–£95 per metre range supplied and built — final figure depends on height, post section, ground condition, access and any old fence to clear. We can price to budget where the scope flexes. Get a quote and we'll come back with a real number.
Do you install panel fencing or just closeboard in Birtley?
Both. Closeboard runs longer and weathers better; panels go in faster and cost less. Most Birtley jobs go closeboard, but we'll quote either way and explain the trade-off.
Can you do storm-damage repairs in Birtley?
Yes — single panels, broken posts, leaning fences, gate damage. Send a photo via the repair form with your postcode. We usually quote from photos for simple jobs and book inside the same week.
Trade pricing for builders in Birtley?
Yes. Open a trade account for net terms and trade rates. Phone the yard on 0191 695 1984.
