Fencing contractors in Cobham, Esher and Oxshott
Privacy, security and a proper finish for big plots and long boundaries.
Plots here are big, boundaries are long, and the garden is expected to match the house. Privacy from the road and a secure boundary come first, and the finish has to be right first time.
Driveway gates are a big part of the work: built, hung, and made electric, with the motor, wiring, keypad or intercom done as part of the same job.
What we do in Cobham, Esher and Oxshott
We handle the whole job, A to Z: fencing, gates and electric gates, decking, paving and garden rooms, from the first visit to the final sweep.
Fencing
Closeboard, panel, slatted, trellis, post and rail, acoustic and mesh.
Gates
Garden gates to match the fence, driveway gates and electric gates.
Landscaping
Composite decking, patios, paving, lawns, sleepers and planting beds.
Garden rooms
Offices, studios and gyms at the end of the garden.
Repairs
Leaning posts, storm damage and broken boards.
Clay, heath and long boundaries
The ground changes fast
Around Oxshott and Esher commons it is sandy heath. Elsewhere it is heavier. The Claygate Member, once called the Claygate Beds, is a band of clay and sand named after the village. A long boundary can cross both, so the depth is set for the worst of it.
Long runs stay straight
On a long boundary every bay is set out before a post goes in, so the line is straight and the bays are even from one end to the other.
Heavy gates need heavy posts
A pair of solid driveway gates puts its whole weight on the hanging posts. They are set deeper and bigger than the rest of the line.
Rules worth knowing in Cobham, Esher and Oxshott
The full rules, with the official source for each one, are on our advice page.
Tall front gates and walls
A gate, wall or fence next to a road used by vehicles can only be 1 metre high without planning permission. Most tall entrance gates around here have permission, and we build to the approved drawing.
Private estates
Private estates such as St George's Hill and Burwood Park have their own rules on boundaries and styles, on top of planning law. We work to them and check them before we quote.
