Any recommendations for someone to put up a fence?

11 linear mtrs of 4ft fence.
4ft Wood panels.
Concrete gravel boards
Slotted concrete posts.
One right angle corner.
One personal/wheely bin gate.

Thanks

Good luck, we're after similar (in Warsash).
Mailed 4 companies from checkatrade, 2 didn't bother replying and 1 said they'd call round for a quote but never did. We finally got a quote off the last one, circa £2k.
Don't companies want work any more ? We left it until now as we thought it would be a quieter time of year as opposed to after a storm or strong winds!
Let me know how you get on or if you get any recommendations.

Try Fair Oak Fencing, based in Durley. Otherwise I know a few people who do this sort of work as well as general groundwork. Worst case, I have a petrol hole borer that is easy to use if you want to go the DIY route. I set in 28 posts in less than 4 hours with it.

As mentioned above, Keith at Fair Oak Fencing is a good chap, I supplied them a New Tipper. Also try Island Fencing. Good chaps, really nice work. Bob is a good chap too

KM Fencing in Hedge Eed may also be worth a call: http://www.kmfencing.co.uk/

Excellent, do they have a website ?
Could you post [see what I did there? smile ] a follow up to say what you thought of the work ?
