What we put up
A Boundary That Stays Put
A good fence keeps the dog in, keeps the neighbours' view out and makes it obvious where your garden ends. We replace leaning and storm-damaged fences, and put up new ones along fresh boundaries.

Garden gates
Gates That Shut Properly
Most gate problems come from a post that's moved or a gate that was never hung square. We make gates to fit your opening, match them to the fence, and fit a latch or bolt so you can lock the side of the house.
Side gates, back lane gates and front garden gates
Made to measure for your opening
Heavy hinges, latches and bolts

Hi Patrick, I would like to thank you for completing the work to schedule and for being so meticulous to ensure each option was made clear to me on the day. The fence is the best I could have anticipated, and looks great to me. It is just what we desired. Thank you so much for this.
Patrick and co did a fantastic job, building a seating area in decking for me. Plus a fence with gate out the front of my house. Very professional and value for money. Marriott Services were recommended to me by a colleague and I would certainly recommend them also.
Thank you so much Patrick, the fencing looks magnificent, your hard work and dedication to your work is outstanding. I would highly recommend your service. Patrick was very kind, courteous, and helpful, he worked efficiently and did such an excellent job.

Common questions
Fencing Questions
How tall can my fence be without planning permission?
You can usually put up a fence without planning permission if it is no more than 1 metre high next to a road used by vehicles (or its footpath), or no more than 2 metres high anywhere else. You will need permission if any part of the site is a listed building or within its curtilage, or if the fence forms a boundary with a neighbouring listed building. Check with your local planning authority before starting work.
What is the difference between featherboard and panel fencing?
Featherboard fencing (also called closeboard) is built on site from overlapping vertical feather edge boards screwed to horizontal rails between posts. Because the parts are fixed individually, it is rigid and durable, gives a solid fence with no gaps for privacy and security, and copes well with sloping or uneven ground because the post spacing is not tied to panel widths. Ready made panels come in standard sizes.

Can a fence be built on a sloping garden?
Yes. Featherboard fencing is built on site, so the rails and gravel boards can be fixed at an angle while the boards follow a level line. Post spacing is not tied to a panel width, which makes it a good fit for slopes and uneven ground. Ready made panels come in standard sizes, so they are less flexible.

How long does a wooden fence last?
A good quality timber fence that has been treated correctly should last at least 25 years. How long yours lasts depends on the type of timber treatment, the size of the posts, whether gravel boards are fitted, the quality of the fixings and how deep and firmly the posts are set.
What type of fence is best for a windy or exposed garden?
In windy places such as coastal towns, semi solid panels like Hit and Miss let some wind through and put less strain on the fence. Panels with enough rails and framing, correctly sized posts, and posts set deep in plenty of post fixing mix all help, particularly in loose or wet soil. Concrete posts also have a record of surviving high winds.

Who owns the fence between me and my neighbour?
In England and Wales there is usually no official record of who owns the fence between two properties, and most title plans do not show exact boundaries. If you want it settled, you can make a boundary agreement with your neighbour, apply for a determined boundary, or apply to correct a mistake on a title plan.
