Project Overview
Ceres Property looked after a rental home in Bradwell where the old fencing had come to the end of its life and needed replacing. They asked Anglian Land Services to take out the tired fencing and fit a smart new boundary that would last for years. The goal was simple: a safe, private and good looking garden that would keep tenants happy and protect the value of the property.
The Challenge
The old fence panels and posts had weakened over time, leaving gaps that made the garden feel open and less secure. Because people were living in the property, the work had to be planned carefully so that any mess and noise were kept to a minimum and the garden was safe to use each day. We also needed to remove the old materials cleanly and make sure the new fence lined up neatly along the full boundary.
Our Approach
We started by taking down the old fencing and clearing away the broken panels, posts and any waste, leaving the ground ready for the new build. Next, we set firm, well-spaced posts and fitted new panels in a straight, even line for a tidy and professional finish. Throughout the job, our team kept the site clean and tidy and worked in a way that caused as little disruption as possible for the tenants.
The Results
The property now has a strong, attractive fence that clearly marks the boundary and gives the garden back its privacy and security. Ceres Property received a hard-wearing result that will need very little upkeep and should stand up well to years of weather. Both the landlord and the tenants were left with a garden that looks cared for and feels safe to use.
Planning Application and Landscaping
For most replacement fencing on a rental property like this, no planning application is needed, as the new fence simply takes the place of the old one at a similar height. We always check the local height rules and any special conditions before we begin, so the work stays within the guidelines, and there are no surprises later. With the new boundary in place, the garden is also ready for any future landscaping, such as planting, hedging or lawn care, to make the outdoor space even more enjoyable.
