Summary:
Realigned side gate.
Comments:
Summary:
Replaced garden gate, post and fixings.
Comments:
I first used Neil's services 7 years ago and he has done a few jobs for me, although not since 2015. After moving house last year, when I noticed problems with the back gate fittings and the gate not closing properly due to decay, he was the first person I called. He arranged a visit to survey and quote, and completed the work to his usual very high standards.
Once again, very happy to recommend for workmanship and value.
Summary:
Neil built the foundations and laid two new areas of patio for us over a two day period. One was an extension to our existing patio and the other a completely new one at the back of the garden.
Comments:
The work was completed on time to a very high standard. Neil was extremely friendly and professional throughout, completely tidying up when finished.
I had looked for quotes from local firms in Essex & Hertforshire, but couldn't find what I was looking for at a reasonable price. Neil went out of his way to travel down from Peterborough to help (approx 70 miles each way, x4 journeys).
Would definitely recommend.
Summary:
24 metre fence removed and replaced with concrete gravel boards and posts and feather board panels.
Comments:
Neil is a consummate professional. His attention to detail and strive for perfection are the reason we asked him to replace our fence at the side of the house, as he made such a good job of the rear one 6 years ago.
He is a pleasure to deal with, considerate to the neighbours and pointing out any areas of concern before proceeding (over hanging branches etc). His pricing is fair and the quality of his work is excellent.
He takes a real pride in his work and is always cheerful. Our fence is complete and looks fantastic, having transformed both our back and front garden. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.
Summary:
Built a new garden gate, including replacing post. Replaced two blown-down panels with a strengthened post. Both in awkward areas.
Comments:
I've paid a lot of money for poor quality fence work in the past, and I'd pretty much decided that if I was going to get a bodge job, then I was perfectly capable of bodging it myself. I literally had the materials on order when a friend gave me Neil's number.
Neither of the two jobs he did were simple...tight spaces, making it work (and look good) with my materials when I hadn't ordered exactly the right thing (Sorry, Neil)..and it's a testament to his skill and professionalism that it looks as if those issues never happened. Thank you.
Summary:
Fixing of concrete spurs to existing fence posts and realign panels to enable the fence to withstand strong winds in an exposed location.
Comments:
Neil's work is of a very high standard and he takes great pride in doing a good job. Excellent communication skills.
Summary:
Old fence dismantled and new fence erected.
Comments:
Neil's work was recommended to us. We were delighted with his workmanship and despite further gales, he managed to complete the job.
We have already been asked for a recommendation by friends.
Summary:
Complex fencing requirement to make the garden secure (80 metres long by 20m wide!) - using pet fencing and posts set back into my existing hedging. Required cutting back of the hedges and disposal, concreting in the posts and fitting the fencing. Top of the garden with full fence panels and gate.
Comments:
Neil was really helpful with ideas on how to approach the job (we were anything but straight forward!). He was excellent in terms of support for the quotation process, and added value with his suggestions for items I really wouldn't have thought of. The work commenced and finished on plan and the whole process couldn't have been any less disruptive. Neil ensured any mess was limited and tidied up every day to make sure I wasn't inconvenienced. At the end of the job there was nothing remaining and all was completed beyond my expectations.
Additionally whilst here we added to the scope of works for a few additional jobs which Neil cheerfully completed and for a very reasonable price.
I genuinely feel this was "old fashioned" customer service where my needs and convenience were foremost in Neil's mind and he was really careful to ensure I knew exactly what was being suggested / agreed to (to the point of sending us contacts to look at similar work completed by him).
I would highly recommend him, and in fact we are in the process of quoting some additional work - I have no doubt I will be happy to proceed with that and look forward to a seemless delivery yet again.
Great job Fence Connection, you are outstanding.
Summary:
Replace broken fence panel.
Comments:
Neil is a lovely, friendly chap who knows his stuff. It is so important to find people you can trust these days. Neil replaced our broken fence panel with a much sturdier one, putting a concrete plinth along the bottom and ensuring the panel was really well secured. It is a big improvement on the panel that was there before. We are very pleased with the work.
Summary:
Comments:
Absolutely faultless. After the recent storm the wooden fence and gate on my drive was damaged leaving my property open/unsecure. I phoned many different company's as the work was urgent. The moment Neil arrived for the quote I instantly knew that he was the right one hence me choosing him. My gut feeling was spot on.
His workmanship is exceptional at a very reasonable price. Neil clearly takes pride in his work and ensured I was happy with what he was doing throughout the job. He is friendly and helpful and worked incredibly hard to ensure my property was safe and secure again. He cleared up any mess too despite it being cold and dark by the time he was finished.
I am definitely using him again and can't recommend highly enough.
The side gate had gradually over time become misaligned due to weather erosion and it had got to a point where it was impossible to lock it!
Neil attended and swiftly and efficiently sorted the problem. It now finally opens and closes again without effort and, more importantly, it can now be locked.
Many thanks Neil; much appreciated.
