Reviews of Fence Connection

My side gate has consistently being dropping for years and, having had it realigned several times, the problem kept occurring. The meter box is literally inside the gate and, when it drops, it makes entry practically impossible as the box is obstructing the gate.

The time had come to get this issue resolved, once and for all. Having read the reviews for Neil on Safe Local Trades, I got in touch with him and he responded very quickly. From his initial inspection, he was able to identify immediately that the problem was due to the post being crooked, which I hadn't noticed before!

During our discussion, his expertise was obvious and he went through the various options of how the issue could finally be rectified, which I was happy with and I opted for a new gate as the old one was now quite dilapidated.

Neil and Alex arrived promptly on Wednesday and Neil told me exactly what he was going to do and went over everything prior to proceeding. The old post was removed and a new one cemented in. He then made a new bespoke gate to the exact measurements, complete with handle and bolts either end.

The finished result is fantastic. To finally be able to open the gate freely, without the obstruction of the meter box, is awesome. Neil is a true perfectionist and his care and attention to detail is meticulous. That also extends into his customer service, which is faultless - he ensures that the customer is 110% happy with his work, once complete.

Neil and Alex are genuinely lovely trustworthy tradesmen and, when I had to leave my property during the project, I felt completely comfortable with letting my back door open so that they could enter to make a drink.

I would, without hesitation, highly recommend Fence Connection to anyone who is looking to have this type of work done.

Thank you, Neil & Alex, for doing such an excellent job.

A good team they got on with the job although the weather was not in their favour. We are very pleased with the work which was carried out with care. Our neighbours are also delighted with the new fence.

If you want a good job and a caring team, I recommend Fence Connection.

The final results are perfect, we now have a fence that looks attractive and solid as well as a good and robust side gate. 

Neil is very dedicated in making sure his customers are happy and he keeps you well informed as to the whole process. He is respectful of your requirements on the job and of working in and around your home. 

He liaised very well between us and our neighbours as we were both splitting the cost of the fence. Thank you Neil great job done! 

The job was especially difficult due to the fact that Neil was working on two different levels, the task made more challenging by numerous shrubs and greenery on our side of the fence!

Neil approached and undertook the job with skill and professionalism and we would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.

The fence looks awesome.  Everything was skillfully put together and the panels trimmed to fit properly.  Neil explained what he was doing and was careful to get everything exactly right.  Very pleased with the work done. 

Neil and Alex did excellent job.

The process was smooth, well planned and brilliantly executed. Neil was thorough in his planning and involved us in the process to ensure our expectations were managed and foreseen issues and likely resolutions discussed.  

I'd suggest that Neil prides himself on perfection, so he can be proud of every job, and he certainly delivers.  

Neil suggested the height of the fence; to be a little bit taller than usual, for extra security (as it was at the front of the house) and we welcomed that thought process and discussion.  

The preparation groundworks were executed neatly and they were considerate in where to put the plant rubbish that created; chopping things up to make them manageable for our garden waste bin or a tip run.

The fence went up quickly. Neil and Alex put in the hours to deliver the job on time. The gates were built on-site and the old fence was taken down after the new one was up, so there were no security issues and I didn't have to worry about our dogs escaping!

We wanted the same keys to open either gate, to keep it simple. Neil arranged this, which was really helpful. 

All in all we're delighted and we don't even need to weatherproof the finished item until next spring! Result! 

We are extremely pleased with the work, the fence looks wonderful. Everything was explained to begin with about how Fence Connection would go about starting the job. It was all about what we wanted and nothing was ever a problem, the communication was excellent and we highly recommend this firm. 

I have used this contractor for a number of fencing, gate and paving jobs and so was a natural choice for the latest project on the strength and quality of previous work done.

As usual this was a quality job done on time and within budget by a contractor willing to take on the less straightforward works requiring an element of individual design to fit the constraints of the workplace and the project specifications.

Friendly, easy to get on with contractor who I would recommend to anyone looking to have similar perhaps not straightfoward work undertaken. Always takes the time to explain progress and what can be done to deal with any unforseen issues. Reliable and tidy.

WOW!  I met Neil whilst he was doing somebody else's fence whilst cycling, and asked him to give me a quote as I was very impressed with what I saw that day.

Neil came over a little while later to see what the job entailed and shortly after I received my very detailed quote.  I had two other fence qoutes but chose Neil on the basis of the work I saw that day.

A date was arranged and Neil came as promised to repair the fence.  To say the weather was horrible was an understatement.  Neil has done a superb job in not very nice circumstances and not only were we very impressed but our neigbours were as well.

He is now quoting us for the whole of the outside fencing of our property, and my neighbours are also considering having their fence done as well.

Having done some major work in our house over the past 6 weeks and dealt with many tradesmen in that time, Neil is one I would (and already have) highly recommend.  I cannot say that about all of the ones we have used recently!

If you want a fence fitting, use Neil you will not be dissapointed!!

Very highly recommended!

Thanks Neil

Neil was very good, he did a great job and the price was very reasonable. He was very polite, friendly and punctual. The work was excellent and looks really good now.

I would recommend Fence Connection.
