Customer reviews
Sc maintenance, great guys worked flat out non stop an got the job done. Really pleased with results. Will 100% use again.
William Holmes SC and his gang did a very professional job on our rear garden fence and side gate. Our neighbours were so impressed they’ve been asking for business cards!!
Very punctual. Really good job of fencing and tidied up each day after work.
Thoroughly recommend
Can’t thank SC Maintenance enough for the great job they done on my fence! Professional and easy to deal with would definitely recommend to anyone requiring any maintenance.
Great job, had a spur put in to save the whole fence coming down. Short notice, good value and nice solid tidy job. Thanks William
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. .
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.
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.
Found this company as my mum needed her garden cleared out, great communication, good prices and got the job done very quickly - would highly recommend!
We used SC Maintenance to carry out some fencing repairs. They were easy to communicate with good price prompt and nice end product highly recommend.
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.
Excellent service - fast, reliable and reasonably priced. Couldn't be happier.
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.
Efficient, great communication, quick but quality repair. Thank you so much!
"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!
He did an amazing job on our lawn!
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.
Very happy with the work William carried out on the replacement of my garden gate, it looks great thank you.
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.
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
Would thoroughly recommend Will and team.
Put a new fence up in my back garden .
Very happy. Thank you
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 Southampton
New fences for Southampton homes
Southampton's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Freemantle, Portswood and Shirley to post-war semis in Bitterne and Sholing and bigger plots around Bassett and Highfield.
Planning and boundaries in Southampton
Most garden fences are permitted development, but if you want anything over 2 metres, or over 1 metre next to a road, check with Southampton City Council first.
Built for local conditions
Gardens on the east side of the city, around Woolston, Weston and Sholing, catch wind coming up Southampton Water, and winter storms find weak posts quickly.
Our fence installation process
- 1
Photos & measurements
Send the length, height you want and photos of the line. We'll talk you through post and panel options.
- 2
Remove the old fence
We take down and take away the old fence, posts and footings where needed.
- 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
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 Southampton
Do you cover all Southampton postcodes?
Yes. We cover SO14 to SO19, from the city centre and Ocean Village out to Lordshill, Thornhill, Bassett and Woolston.
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.
Who owns the fence on my boundary?
Your deeds or title plan may show it. If it's unclear, agree the line with your neighbour before we start.
We only have rear alley access. Is that a problem?
Not usually. Tell us when you send photos and we'll plan how posts and panels come in. If the alley is very narrow we may bring shorter lengths or carry materials through by hand.
