Fencing in Cockermouth

Around Cockermouth (CA13) it is mostly closeboard and decorative panels in town gardens, gates, hedge cutting and border work. Cockermouth has older town gardens, some of them in a conservation area, where the fence is something you look at from the house and access for posts and timber is often down a narrow entry rather than off a drive, so both the look of it and how we get the materials in get planned before we start. Which of those is right for your garden comes out of somebody standing in it rather than a phone call, because the ground and the exposure decide most of it.

No, it is in the price. Cockermouth is about 19 km from us in Whitehaven, well inside the patch we work as a matter of course, and the van goes to the job rather than the job paying for the distance. The only time distance genuinely matters is a very small one-off a long way out, and if that ever changed a price you would be told before the quote rather than after.

Yes. Cockermouth gardens are often walled or hedged town plots where the fence is as much about how it looks as what it keeps out. We are based in Whitehaven and cover West Cumbria as normal territory rather than as a favour, so Cockermouth is a regular stop. If we are booked up and cannot start when you need it, you will get told that rather than being left on a maybe.

Mostly in access and in how it looks. Older gardens around Cockermouth are often reached down an entry or through the house rather than off a drive, so posts, boards and the old fence all have to be carried, and that gets allowed for in the price rather than discovered on the day. Where a garden is inside a conservation area there can be limits on height and on what you can put on a boundary facing the street, so it is worth a check before you settle on anything decorative.

We can usually get out to look within a week, and often sooner. Starting depends on the size of the job and what is already booked: a gate, a few panels or a repair can normally be slotted in within a couple of weeks, while a full boundary run in the busy part of the season is more like three to five. Garden work on a regular round can usually start on the next visit. You get honest dates rather than optimistic ones.

Yes, and there is nothing attached to it. Somebody comes out to Cockermouth, measures the run, looks at the ground and the access, and you get a price for the work with what is included spelled out. Nothing is chargeable until you have read that and said yes.

Yes, and a lot of people in Cockermouth use us for both. It is one number for the boundary and for the hedge, the grass and the borders behind it, which saves booking two lots of people and means whoever is cutting the hedge is not the one who has to work round somebody else's new fence. Plenty of our regular garden rounds started as a fencing job.
