Appleford School near Shrewton external works – fencing, parking and lighting August 2021

We have been very busy and trying to complete various external works projects during the school holidays. It has been difficult to source the materials, to say the least.

However, this project at a local school  near Shrewton was completed today – new Close Board fence, new and increased parking areas along with additional lighting.  All ready for the new term.

Close board fencing and hardwood iroko timber gates in Marlborough

Our client had just purchased the house in Marlborough and our brief was to make the garden dog-proof and a little more private with a small length of close board fencing (8m). In addition, we installed new hardwood iroko timber gates and oak posts; curved heel is the higher side of the gate to give a diagonal brace –  just different! And we created an area to make a secluded bin store.   Iroko is a highly durable timber with a medium oily texture.  It is frequently referred to as African Teak due to its durability and appearance.

Domestic sleeper retaining wall with close board fencing fitted on top in Market Lavington

We supplied and erected a 15m domestic sleeper retaining wall with 1.8m close board fencing on top in Market Lavington.

Our client had an old conifer hedge which had passed its usefulness and had become an eyesore.  We removed the conifers and replaced them with a sleeper retaining wall which was perfect for the sloping ground and banking it needed to retain.  Then on top of this, we erected a 1.8m domestic close board fence.

“I used CC to remove my existing hedge and as William and his team were very competent and professional for that job I was happy to instruct them to build the new fence.  William came out and we discussed the fence and how it would be erected on a very difficult steeply sloping site and I was impressed by his approach and so was confident that the job would be well done.

The team who came out were very polite and efficient and I am glad to say they did not have a radio blaring out which often is the case with contractors;
they left the site clean and tidy.  I was impressed that a couple of days after completion William came to check I was happy with the job.

I would be happy to recommend Conservation Contractors for similar work”.
