Fencing styles we install
Three options cover most Shropshire gardens. We'll help you choose the right one for the wind, the boundary and the budget.
Featheredge fencing
Overlapping vertical boards on a rail and post frame — the longest-lasting domestic timber fence. Ideal for boundaries, privacy and exposed gardens.
Closeboard & lap panels
Classic 6ft panel fences for back gardens. Quick to install and budget-friendly, with concrete or timber posts.
Gates & access
Side gates, double driveway gates and bespoke pedestrian gates — built to match your fencing, hung on heavy-duty hinges.
How we build a fence that lasts
The panel gets the photo. The post hole decides whether it's still standing after the next storm.

Fencing questions, answered
How much does new fencing cost in Shrewsbury?
Most domestic fencing falls between £55 and £110 per linear metre supplied and fitted, depending on style (featheredge, closeboard, lap panel), height, and whether posts go in concrete or post-fix. We give a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
How long will a timber fence last?
A properly built featheredge fence with pressure-treated timber, concrete posts and gravel boards typically lasts 20+ years. Standard lap panels in timber posts usually last 10–15 years. We talk you through the trade-offs so you pick the right build for your budget.
Do you install garden gates?
Yes — side gates, double driveway gates and bespoke pedestrian gates, matched to your fencing. We hang them on heavy-duty hinges with proper latches and drop-bolts so they sit square and stay square.
Will my fence survive Shropshire storms?
We set posts deep in postcrete, use concrete gravel boards to keep timber off the ground, and recommend 4x4 concrete or pressure-treated posts on exposed runs. Done properly, a D&K fence shrugs off a Shropshire winter.
