I had a fence erected by this company just over five years ago. Last year I noticed it had taken on a very bad lean towards our property. On close inspection I discovered that all the fence posts had rotted away to the point where there was absolutely nothing left below ground level.

At one point the fence meets another fence built over 25 years ago, and there are posts of the old and new fence less than half a metre apart. The old post has not rotted away at all, and is still sound, while the new one right beside it does not exist below ground level. Clearly they used the wrong posts, possibly untreated when they need to be treated. I don't know, I'm no expert, but I expect them to be.

When I called them about it, all they had to say was that I had signed an agreement that it had a 12 month warranty and so they wouldn't do anything except quote for a repair!

The Office of Fair Trading told me that the normally accepted standard for construction work like this is that it should last for 10 years.

So I can't recommend them at all, unless you are looking for a fence that is guaranteed to fall down in quick time.

Tried them recently, as the other fish and chips places in the area are not too good. Best we've found so far. Nice crisp batter on the fish, fish fresh, and chips better than most. Don't seem to be open on Mondays.
