Frequently asked questions
Is the wood you use pressure treated?
Yes, absolutely. We only use high-quality, pressure-treated timber for all our fencing projects. This significantly extends the life of your fence.
Do I get a guarantee when I get a fence with Fencerite?
Yes, we stand by the quality of our work and materials. All our installations come with a guarantee for your peace of mind. Please ask us for the specific details regarding your project's guarantee.
How long does the fencing process typically take?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of your project. However, we strive to complete all work efficiently and promptly. We'll provide you with an estimated timeline during your free quote.
Do you take the old fencing away?
Yes, as a unique benefit of choosing Fencerite, we take all the old wood and fencing away free of charge, leaving your property tidy and clear.
When should we paint the new fence?
For pressure-treated timber, it's generally best to wait a few weeks to a month after installation to allow the wood to dry out thoroughly. This ensures the paint or stain adheres properly and lasts longer.
What paint do you recommend for the fence?
We recommend using a high-quality exterior wood preservative or an oil-based wood stain. These products offer excellent protection against weathering and enhance the fence's appearance. We can discuss specific brands during our consultation.

Do you take the soil away?
Yes, any soil generated from digging the post holes can be removed from your property for a small fee, ensuring a clean site upon completion.
How long is the waiting list?
Our waiting list can vary depending on the season and current demand. We recommend contacting us for the most up-to-date availability. We always aim to schedule your installation as soon as possible.
How long will my boundary be exposed for during installation?
We understand the importance of security. Fencerite carries out all work quickly and efficiently, aiming to minimise the time your boundary is exposed. We plan our installations to ensure your property remains secure throughout the process.
How can I ensure the security of my gate and stop others from getting in?
For enhanced gate security, we supply and fit two types of fittings: one automatic and one manual. This dual locking system provides extra peace of mind, ensuring your property is well protected.
I'm worried that large double gates will rattle in the wind.
We've thought of that! To prevent rattling and ensure stability, we supply and fit a heavy duty storm bar for all large double gates. This keeps your gates secure and even in blustery Scottish weather.
What unique services does Fencerite offer beyond standard installation?
Beyond our commitment to quality, we offer a few unique benefits. As mentioned, we take away all old wood free of charge. Additionally, during quieter months, we also offer chipping jobs, helping you manage garden waste effectively.
What important advice should I know about fencing options or the installation process?
Firstly, the holes for our posts are always at least 2 ft deep to ensure maximum stability and longevity. Secondly, all our wood is high-quality, pressure-treated timber. Lastly, we always abide by current council regulations and will advise you if planning permission is needed for your project.
