It does not rot, it does not need staining, and it does not go silver-grey after two summers. The colour is through the board rather than painted on, so a scuff does not become a maintenance job. The install is closer to engineering than carpentry: post positions must be exact, because composite systems have fixed board lengths and no forgiveness for a post 40mm out of line. That precision is where a composite fence is won or lost, and it is the reason a system fence should not be a first-time DIY project. ### Why professional installation matters Composite is unforgiving of a rushed install. Boards expand and contract with temperature, so a run fitted with no allowance for movement will bow or rattle. Post spacing has to match the system's board length, and posts still need setting to depth in concrete; the aluminium in the system does nothing about ground conditions. We have installed both timber and composite for over 20 years, so the recommendation you get on the site visit is based on your garden and exposure, not on what we would rather sell. ### Who it is for - Homeowners who are done with sanding, staining and replacing panels - Landlords who want a boundary that will not generate tenant call-outs - Households with a modern garden design, decking or a rendered extension - Anyone with poor access who wants the disruption dealt with once ### When it is needed - You are replacing a timber fence for the second or third time - The fence is on a boundary you cannot easily get back to for maintenance - You are having decking or landscaping done and want a matched finish - You want a fixed, quiet, uniform screen rather than a rustic look What it costs to wait ## The Real Cost Of PuttingIt Off Another Season Most people arrive at composite after paying for timber twice. The escalation is predictable, and so is the cost. ### You pay for the same fence repeatedly Two rounds of cheap panels, a weekend of staining every other year and a couple of storm repairs usually add up to more than doing it once properly. ### Maintenance you never actually do A timber fence only reaches its lifespan if it is treated on schedule. In practice it gets done once, then the base rots quietly and the run fails early. ### Failure lands at the worst time Fences give way in winter storms, when contractors are busiest and lead times are longest, and when an open boundary matters most for pets and security. ### Badly fitted composite is expensive to fix Wrong post spacing or no expansion allowance means bowed boards and rattling bays. Correcting it means pulling the system apart, not adjusting it. ### Common mistakes we are called out to fix - Fitting composite boards into existing timber posts that are already past their life - Buying a system on price without checking board length against the run - Butting boards tight with no allowance for thermal movement - Assuming aluminium posts do not need setting to proper depth - Leaving soil or bark heaped against the bottom rail where water sits - Mixing systems from two suppliers and finding the profiles do not marry Our process ## Five Steps From EnquiryTo Guaranteed Finish - 01 ### Free site visit Robert comes out at a time that suits you, walks the boundary, checks access for materials and spoil, and looks at ground conditions, clay, made-up ground, tree roots, services and levels all change what the job needs. Nothing is priced over the phone from guesswork. - 02 ### Written quote within 48 hours You get a tailored written price, normally inside 48 hours of the visit and often sooner. It states the materials, the heights, the number of posts and boards, the expected duration and what is taken away. Payment is due on the day of completion. - 03 ### Groundwork and preparation Old materials are stripped out and removed, post positions are set off a string line, and holes are dug to depth rather than to whatever the ground allows. Getting this stage right is the difference between a fence that stays plumb and one that leans in two winters. - 04 ### Installation Posts are set and allowed to hold, gravel boards keep timber off the wet ground, and each bay is levelled and fixed as we go rather than corrected at the end. A standard domestic job is completed in one to two days. - 05 ### Check, tidy and guarantee We walk the finished line with you, check every fixing, gate swing and level, sweep the site and take the waste with us. Payment is due on the day of completion by card, bank transfer or cash; repairs carry a 1 year guarantee, new installations up to 5 years. What you get ## The Practical DifferenceOn Your Property ### No annual maintenance No staining, no treating, no sanding. Colour runs through the board, so the fence you see on handover is the fence you see in five years. ### Rot and insect proof at the base The failure point of a timber fence simply is not there. Composite boards do not wick water out of the soil or feed fungus. ### Consistent, quiet screen Solid boards fitted with correct expansion gaps give an even privacy line and noticeably less rattle in wind than lap panels. ### Guaranteed installation Up to 5 years' guarantee on new installations depending on the style fitted, on top of the manufacturer's own board warranty. ### Priced properly, once Free site visit, written quote within 48 hours, and payment due on the day of completion, card, bank transfer or cash. ### One team, whole job Clearance, old fence removal, groundwork and install handled by the same family firm, with the waste taken away. Detail that matters ## Composite Fencing In Detail, Materials, Methods And Variations ### Composite systems and finishes Composite fencing is a kit of parts, and the parts decide the look. We will set out the options in front of you rather than sending a brochure. - Horizontal solid board: the standard modern boundary, fully private, uniform lines. - Slatted and part-slatted runs, spaced boards for airflow and a lighter feel, often used on front boundaries. - Composite over timber posts: a lower-cost hybrid where the visible boards are composite but posts remain timber; suitable in sheltered positions. - Aluminium-post systems: the most durable framework, and the right call on exposed or long runs. - Woodgrain and smooth finishes, woodgrain reads closer to timber from a distance; smooth suits rendered and contemporary gardens. - Trims, caps and matched gates, post caps and edge trims finish the run, and gates can be built to match the boards. ### Fitting method and why precision matters We set out the whole run before any concrete goes in, so post centres match the board length of the system being used. Posts are set in concrete to depth, plumbed and left to hold. Boards are then slotted in with the manufacturer's expansion allowance at each end, so summer heat has somewhere to go. On sloping ground, composite is normally stepped rather than raked, because the boards are rigid. That has a visual consequence at each step, so we will show you where the steps land before we start rather than after. ### Composite versus timber, honestly Composite costs more up front. It buys back that difference in work you never do again and in the fence not being replaced in year eight. Timber is cheaper initially, easier to shape around awkward boundaries, and simple to repair board by board. If the boundary is awkward, heavily rooted or you expect to change the garden in a few years, timber often makes better sense. If the boundary is straightforward, hard to access for maintenance, or you are staying put, composite is usually the better buy. We quote both so the comparison is yours to make with real numbers. ### Domestic, landlord and commercial use For homeowners, composite is chosen for appearance and for ending a maintenance cycle. For landlords and agents, the argument is call-outs: a composite boundary does not produce annual repair requests, and there is no repainting between tenancies. For commercial sites, the value is uniformity across a long run and resistance to knocks in higher-traffic areas. We install composite fencing across Bracknell, Wokingham, Camberley, Ascot, Reading, Bagshot, Addlestone, Chertsey and Windlesham for homeowners, landlords, agricultural and commercial clients. ### Related services - Timber Fencing in Bracknell - Decking in Bracknell - Gates in Bracknell - Trellis & Garden Screening in Bracknell - All fencing services ### Areas we cover for this service Bracknell · Wokingham · Camberley · Ascot · Reading · Bagshot · Addlestone · Chertsey · Windlesham Based in Bracknell, working across Berkshire and Surrey every day.

Call 07782 230193 and speak to Robert directly, no call centre, no sales script. Is composite fencing worth the extra cost?If you plan to stay in the property and the boundary is hard to maintain, usually yes; you stop paying for stain, repairs and eventual replacement. If the garden is changing soon or the boundary is heavily rooted and awkward, timber may be the better buy. We price both after the site visit so you can compare real figures. How much does composite fencing cost in Bracknell?It depends on the system, height, run length, access and how much existing fencing has to be removed, so we do not quote from a price sheet. The site visit is free and the written quote follows within 48 hours. How long does composite fencing take to install?A standard domestic run is typically a one to two day job, the same as timber, with the exact duration written on your quote. Longer runs, stepped ground or a clearance beforehand add time. Does composite fencing fade or go grey?Quality composite holds its colour far better than stained timber because the pigment runs through the board rather than sitting on the surface. Expect a slight settling in the first months, then stability, not the silver-grey timber goes. What maintenance does it need?A wash down with soapy water when it looks dusty. No staining, no treating, no sanding, no annual repair list. What guarantee do I get?New installations carry up to 5 years' guarantee depending on the style installed, alongside the board manufacturer's own warranty. We hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance and employers' liability cover. Can composite boards be fitted to my existing posts?Sometimes, if the posts are sound and correctly spaced for the system. We will tell you straight on the site visit, fitting a long-life board onto a post with two years left in it is not a saving. Can you match a composite gate to the fence?Yes. Gates can be built to match the boards and hung to swing true. We do not fit automated or electric gates. Does composite fencing rattle in wind?Correctly fitted, noticeably less than lap panels, boards are captive in the posts rather than loose in slots. Rattle almost always means missing or incorrectly sized expansion gaps. Do you install composite fencing outside Bracknell?Yes, across Berkshire and Surrey including Wokingham, Camberley, Ascot, Reading, Bagshot, Addlestone, Chertsey and Windlesham.
