Fencing & Boundary Work
Boundary fencing across Sussex and Surrey. Follow-on work after tree clearance, storm damage, and replacement for worn or broken boundary lines.
What the job involves
Tree or hedge clearance can expose a damaged fence or leave a boundary needing replacement. Capel handles timber fencing alongside the tree work. Agree the fence type, boundary line, ground preparation and disposal of the old materials before the job starts.
Check the boundary before ordering
A new fence should follow the agreed boundary, which is not necessarily the line of an old hedge or damaged panels. Confirm the position with the relevant owners before materials or post holes fix the layout.
Roots can change the post positions
A stump left in the fence line may prevent digging a footing. Roots from trees being retained also need protecting. Assess these obstacles before clearing the hedge so the fence layout and any stump work can be planned together.

Check the fence height and length, panel or board specification, posts, gravel boards and treatment. Include dismantling the old fence, disposal of concrete and making good the ground. These can be substantial parts of the job.
- Assess the boundary and the state of the existing fence or edge after clearance or damage
- Agree on the right type of fencing for the setting, timber, post-and-rail, estate-style
- Prepare the run, remove old fence, level ground, deal with root material if needed
- Install with attention to post spacing, levels, and the durability of the finish

For fencing after hedge removal, agree what happens to the stumps before the fence goes in. Confirm the boundary line with the relevant owners.
