Absolutely would definitely use SC maintenance again and have already inquired about a second job . Couldn’t thank William enough for coming out in the pouring rain to complete the job . Thank you so much and such a lovely gentleman with a lot of knowledge. Would highly recommend. .

RRussell Croutear

Contacted SC Maintenance for fence repairs. William was friendly and communicated well throughout. The work was scheduled quickly, and I’m very happy with the results. Would recommend.

BB

Very fast efficient communication and service. Replaced two rotten timber fence posts with new concrete ones to stop a fence from falling down. Texted to say they were on their way, arrived on time, cleared up afterwards and the cost was very reasonable. I will use them again and recommend them to others.

SSabir Malik

William did a fantastic job fixing our backyard fence, which was in poor condition. Even though the work wasn’t completed on the first day, he came back promptly and finished it exactly as required. I would gladly hire him again.

JJames Cassar

Excellent service - fast, reliable and reasonably priced. Couldn't be happier.

AAmanda Cathcart

We have had a full 12 metre fence, posts and a new custom fit gate replaced by SC Maintenance. William's speed of communication was great, keeping me informed each step of the way. The work was scheduled within a two week period from the initial enquiry. A huge shout out to Dustin, who completed the work ahead of expectation. He was polite, tidy, efficient and carried out the job to a superb quality. We are thrilled with the job and would thoroughly recommend the team. Will definitely use them again.

Ggeorgia Graham

Efficient, great communication, quick but quality repair. Thank you so much!

DDaryl Kellett

"I recently used SCM for some repairs around the house, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team were professional, punctual, and finished the job in record time. They even took the time to explain the process and cleaned up the entire work area before leaving. Their pricing was fair and transparent. I highly recommend them for any maintenance needs!

MMelissa Haddock

He did an amazing job on our lawn!

AAdam C

Excellent work carried out by SC MAINTENANCE in my garden this week !
And in particular, first class , friendly service by Jonathan, for preparing and installing my new garden gate, and installing concrete spur/ post to my fence to straighten it out.
I do, on this particular occasion knock off one star, purely as nobody turned up to start work on the original date planned , due to staff issues.
This wouldn't normally have been a problem, but would have liked to have been notified that morning , rather than be sat around waiting to find nobody would show up.
Apart from that one gripe, can I recommend Williams team???
ABSOLUTELY! 👍
The work was complete today, and communication was there when needed.

CCarl Green

Very happy with the work William carried out on the replacement of my garden gate, it looks great thank you.

HHeather Stoyles

The team came to replace a fence for my mother, to remove the old one and take it away. I couldn’t be there that day and mum is 87 so I was keen to be contacted if need be. I need not have worried mum reported a respectful team of men who did an excellent job from start to finish. I was asked by phone at points of the work if I wanted this done or the fence in a particular place. Very professional job and ‘lovely people ‘ mum said. She is delighted with the job and the way in which it was done. Thank you so much you come highly recommended.

LLaura Federanko

William and his guys have done an amazing job & I am very pleased with the finished result. Have already asked for further quotes for other jobs . Definitely recommend

JJanet Arrowmsmith

Would thoroughly recommend Will and team.
Put a new fence up in my back garden .
Very happy. Thank you

MMandy Clifford

This is the second time that I have used Will, this time for the outside of my pond and to relay the slabs. They had just started when they came upon a problem meaning they couldn't do what was originally planned. However, Will came up with a solution, got more materials and by the end of the day, I had a great surround on my pond & slabs that didn't move.
I am so pleased with it, and if anything it looks better than what was originally there.
If you want reliable, polite and reasonable prices then I would highly recommend Will.

Why fence installation matters in Portsmouth

New fences for Portsmouth homes

Portsmouth is mostly tightly packed terraced streets, with small back yards and courtyards on Portsea Island and more semis and gardens off the island in Cosham, Drayton and Farlington.

Planning and boundaries in Portsmouth

Yard walls and fences between terraces are usually shared, so it's worth a word with your neighbour first. Portsmouth City Council handles any planning queries, including in Old Portsmouth's conservation areas.

Built for local conditions

As an island city, Portsmouth gets strong sea winds and salty air, especially near the Southsea seafront and Eastney, which is hard on timber and fixings.

Our fence installation process

  1. 1

    Photos & measurements

    Send the length, height you want and photos of the line. We'll talk you through post and panel options.

  2. 2

    Remove the old fence

    We take down and take away the old fence, posts and footings where needed.

  3. 3

    Set posts & fit panels

    Posts are set in concrete to a string line, and gravel boards and panels are fitted as we go.

  4. 4

    Final check & tidy

    We check the line and levels, and clear up so the garden is left tidy.

Is fence installation right for your fence?

It usually suits when:

  • Several posts and panels have failed at once
  • You're moving into a property with a poor or missing boundary
  • You want more privacy, height or security
  • You'd like a longer-lasting fence with concrete posts and gravel boards

When something else is better:

Before we start, you'll need to know where the boundary is and, for anything over 2 metres (or over 1 metre next to a road), whether planning permission is needed. We'll point you in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions: Fence installation Portsmouth

Can you work in a terraced house with no rear access?

Yes. Many Portsmouth jobs involve carrying posts and panels through the house. We'll agree the route with you and protect floors and door frames.

How long does a new fence take?

It depends on length, ground conditions and access. We'll give you a realistic idea when we quote.

Do I need planning permission for a new fence?

Usually not for garden fences up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Check the Planning Portal or your council if you're unsure, or if you're in a conservation area or listed building.

Do you cover Cosham and Drayton as well as Southsea?

Yes. We cover PO1 to PO6, on Portsea Island and on the mainland.
