Fencers in Washington.
Fencers based at NE13 7BA, covering Washington and the NE37–NE38 postcodes. Down the A1 — Washington, Birtley, Springwell and the surrounding estates. We install closeboard and panel fencing, post-and-rail boundary, gates, and we handle storm-damage repairs across the area.
Washington is a 1960s new town and a lot of its original boundary fencing is now reaching wholesale-replacement age. We do a lot of whole-section runs — phased so nobody loses their back garden overnight. Trade supply to landlords managing the original Washington Development Corporation housing is regular work. Gate posts for driveway entrances on the newer Springwell and Lambton estates round out the volume.
What our Washington fencers do
Closeboard fence install
Standard 6ft closeboard runs — concrete-set 4×3 or 4×4 posts, two rails, gravel board, sized boards in a tight line. The default for most Washington back gardens.
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 Washington jobs.
Panel quote →Fence repairs in Washington
Storm-damage panels, broken posts, leaning fences, gate post repairs. Same-week call-out for most Washington postcodes.
Repair quote →Gate supply and hanging
Garden gates, drive gates, double-gate frames. Hung true, posted properly. Available alongside fence installs or standalone.
Gate quote →Composite decking installs
Low-maintenance composite decks across Washington. Hollow-core or solid boards, hidden-fix clips, treated subframe.

The original Washington estate fencing was light spec — 3×3 posts at 1.8m centres with thin rails. Most of what we replace now we upgrade to 4×3 concrete-set with proper 3.6m rails, which gives a much longer life. Heavy clay soil in pockets around Ayton and Usworth — rapid-set postcrete is a must, not a nice-to-have.
Areas we install in: Sulgrave, Donwell, Concord, Albany, Glebe, Columbia, Ayton, Springwell, Usworth, Lambton, Oxclose. Plus surrounding villages and postcodes (NE37–NE38). If you're not sure if we cover you, drop your postcode in the quote form.
Common questions for Washington fencers
Whole-section estate fencing replacement — how do you handle it?
For runs of 30m+ where multiple neighbours are involved, we plan a phased install so each garden has its back boundary up overnight. Typical sequence: agree spec with all parties, lift old posts on day one, set new posts day two (concrete cure), fit rails and boards day three. Trade pricing kicks in over 20m.
How long does a fence install in Washington 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 Washington?
Most domestic 5–6ft closeboard fence installs in Washington 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 Washington?
Both. Closeboard runs longer and weathers better; panels go in faster and cost less. Most Washington jobs go closeboard, but we'll quote either way and explain the trade-off.
Can you do storm-damage repairs in Washington?
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.

Yes. Open a trade account for net terms and trade rates. Phone the yard on 0191 695 1984.
