Privacy, wind exposure, upkeep, and ground shape all influence the right fencing system for your property.
Screen patios, lawns and seating areas where overlooking affects daily use.
Balance screening with wind movement so exposed fencing is not overloaded.
Fix unstable supports and rotten sections instead of hiding the cause with new panels.

Privacy, wind exposure, upkeep, and ground shape all influence the right fencing system for your property.
Create a solid timber boundary with dependable screening and a traditional appearance.
Add privacy with horizontal timber lines suited to patios and modern garden layouts.
Replace damaged panels, posts or sections affected by movement, decay or storms.
Adjust posts and panel heights to reduce gaps and maintain a consistent boundary across sloping ground.
Fence length matters, but ground conditions, post support, exposure, and level changes often have the greatest effect on the work required.
Fencing costs depend on the boundary length, chosen style, post system, access, removal work and ground conditions. A site visit allows these details to be assessed.
Soft soil, roots, old concrete and retained ground can affect where posts sit and how they need to be supported.
Solid fencing offers stronger privacy but also faces greater wind pressure, so style, height and post support need to work together.
Fence height, roadside position and listed status can affect whether planning permission for fences, gates and garden walls is required.
Cooksey assesses the existing boundary, surrounding ground and level changes before recommending the fencing style and post arrangement, helping the new installation suit the garden rather than relying on a standard solution.
Fencing can do more than enclose a space. The right height, line, and style can improve privacy, shape the layout, and support how the garden is used.





Understand what affects cost, whether repairs are worthwhile and which fencing styles may suit your garden.
Tell us which sections move, lean or leave the garden exposed. We can assess the boundary and explain the suitable replacement options.
The best option depends on the level of privacy required, the direction of the prevailing wind and the available post support. Solid fencing provides greater privacy, while more open styles can reduce wind pressure in highly exposed gardens.
The cost depends on the length of the boundary, fence style, post system, ground conditions, access and whether the old fencing needs removing. Sloping ground, roots or existing concrete can also affect the work, so the boundary needs to be assessed before an accurate quotation can be prepared.
Yes, where the neighbouring posts and panels remain secure. If movement, rot or storm damage affects several sections, replacing a longer run may provide a more dependable result than attaching new panels to weakened supports.

Cooksey Landscape Gardening did a fantastic job on my garden. It was an absolute jungle before, and they have completely transformed it. They removed all the trees, bushes, and the pond, levelled the entire area, and then laid new grass along with building a back wall. The difference is amazing. The team were lovely to work with, very professional, and completed everything in such a short time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their garden.Posted on Google![]()
