The Top 5 Fencing Companies in Manchester

How we picked

Offerings – When we need services, we always look for a company that can do the best job for us. That’s why we chose companies with a wide range of fencing materials and a good scope of services.
Workmanship – We selected companies based on the workers’ competence, the materials’ quality, and the craftsmanship involved in their installation. 
Customer Care – Good customer service means going above and beyond what the customer expects. Business success and customer service go hand in hand, so many companies try to give their customers the best treatment they can.
Pricing – We always take this into account when assessing a company. We want to look at whether the prices are justified by the quality of the product and service.

Pros

  • Offers domestic and commercial services 
  • Gives fast quotes

Cons

  • Office employees are impolite 
  • Doesn’t offer steel fence materials 

Formed in 1988, Birchfield Fencing Ltd is a fencing company that installs, replaces, and repairs fences. They offer these services to domestic and commercial establishments.

The company erects fences with materials such as wood and concrete. Although they don’t offer steel fences, their other fences are adequate enough for any purpose customers wish. 

The wide range of possible services this company offers gives clients great choices in whatever projects they want. 

Sadie from Ancoats had her home fence replaced and was glad that the company could also cater to commercial projects since she was also considering installing fences for her cafe. 

She and other clients we interviewed praised the company for having great crew members who helped them through every step. However, they commented on how impolite the office team was.

They reported that the receptionist was rude and purposely ignored their questions. We got to talk with the representatives when we contacted them and got the same treatment.

Even though this company provides quick quotations and their installation crew is attentive, our experience with the office personnel was negative. 

We think that the company could do better with this. After all, customer care is the front of every business.

Pros

  • Free fixed quote and advice
  • Cheapest on this list

Cons

  • Weak communication 
  • It takes weeks from booking to the actual appointment

Swann Fencing, Decking, and Gates is a family business that has been around for 20 years, doing different kinds of fencing and garden work. Since customers have trusted this company for years, their experience may show how good they are at fencing.

When we spoke to their recent customers, we uncovered what makes them return to the company’s services—a reliable company that provides services meeting the job order and beyond. 

A fencing customer, Bob, expressed his pleasant encounter with the company’s staff. He said that they give fixed quotes and advice for free.

Fixed quote means whatever the initial quote is, it’s the same amount the customers will pay in the end.

Besides that, their prices are the cheapest on this list. Customers we polled said this was another reason they chose this company. 

This company also has some challenges though. Customers have said that they only have a few employees and sometimes have trouble answering inquiries (like when we asked), but once they do, you can be sure that the company will help you.

Another flaw is that their services take weeks from booking the appointment to the actual service, which the company blames on being understaffed.

Despite these setbacks, the company continues providing quality services across the North West region.

Pros

  • Trims and collects dry leaves (no extra charge)
  • Offers up to six-to-seven-feet fences

Cons

  • Poor communication
  • No advance paperwork or confirmation email

At McCorkells Gardens and Grounds Ltd, they provide residential and commercial customers with a wide range of services, including fencing, garden maintenance, tree trimming, and hedge cutting.

Concrete, timber, and light wood are just a few of the materials the firm works with to build fences as high as six to seven feet.

We called the company, and our first conversation with them went well although it took a day for them to pick up our call. The customers we talked to also had some interesting things to say about how the company communicates.

They reported that the company had poor communication with its clients. They provided little to no updates, no advance paperwork, or confirmation email.

Despite this, the company came at the time and date the company and the customer agreed on. The crew was pleasant, professional, and clearly skilled.

Most customers even remarked how impressed they were when the crew offered to trim and collect dry leaves at no extra charge.

Everything with this company is up to par except for the poor communication (a total bummer). We only wish the company could point out the flaws and fix them.

Pros

  • Has the most experience on this list
  • Has the most range of materials on this list

Cons

  • Phone lines are mostly busy
  • Mainly serves Manchester 

Sale Fencing and Surfacing is a family business focused on landscaping and fencing, operating since the 1960s. The company is proud to be on the Marshalls Register of Approved Contractors and the Tobermore Registered Installers list.

The company has been around for 50 years, making it the most experienced on this list. Having an extensive portfolio gives the company an edge over its competitors.

Also, the company has more types of materials than any other entry. Its website has a wide range of products, from vertical featherboard panels to modern fencing, which customers praised.

Customers we polled mainly said great things about the company but noted that the phone lines are often busy with other callers. After five tries, they finally answered us, and everything went well.

But the issue with this company is that they primarily only serve South Manchester, which can be a problem for people living elsewhere.

Before making an appointment, you should find out if the company serves your area by contacting them; otherwise, you’ll be wasting your time.

Apart from that, clients recommended and praised the company for the excellent final results, reasonable prices, and outstanding workmanship.

Pros

  • Manufactures their own fencing products
  • Caters to domestic and commercial customers 
  • Prices are fixed and displayed in their website

Cons

  • Doesn’t install on commercial properties 
  • Doesn’t have steel and plastic fences

A manufacturer and installer of fences, Ace Fencing offers fence deliveries of concrete and wooden materials. 

Customers we spoke to told us they love how the company is not reliant on other suppliers, unlike most companies.

Not only do they install fences, but the company also sells and delivers them at reasonable costs to residential and commercial clients around the country.

Mr. Ewart, a renovation contractor, who has trusted this company for years, bought numerous supplies and had them sent to this house. He told us the company never disappointed him with his orders and their quality.

Even though this company doesn’t include installations for commercial customers, they still sell their products to businesses.

Another thing to keep in mind is that they only sell concrete and wood fences. They don’t sell steel or plastic fences.

The company’s prices are clearly stated on its website, which pleased Mr. Ewart and most of the other customers. The website functionality was likewise well-liked by customers.

It helps potential clients to assess their possible expenditures before obtaining the company’s services. We suggest you do the same and list the materials you need before contacting the company.

The company has and will impress its customers with its clean, professional, and competent craftsmanship.
