See all work Overview ## Why fences and garden timber deserve more than a tin of dip Garden timber takes the worst punishment of any exterior surface, UV, rain, freeze-thaw, ground contact and biological growth. Cheap creosote substitutes last a single season. Done properly, the same fence can look smart for five years before needing a refresh. We paint, stain and finish exterior timber across Bracknell, Ascot, Wokingham, Reading and the wider Berkshire area: close-board and feather-edge fence panels, post-and-rail fencing, summerhouses, garden offices, log cabins, pergolas, garden gates, raised planters and bespoke garden joinery. Most homeowners book us in late spring or early summer when last year's untreated panels have weathered to grey, or when a new fence has been installed and needs sealing before its first winter. We also routinely work on garden offices and summerhouses where the original factory finish has faded. The unglamorous truth is that fence and garden timber finishing fails because of the product, not the labour. A solvent-based fence dip looks good for a season and then bleaches; a proper UV-rated stain or paint with a breathable formulation lasts four to five times longer for around the same total cost per year. Don't ignore this ## Why most fence treatments fail by next summer We get a lot of calls from people whose 'just treated' fence has gone silver-grey in twelve months. Almost always, the same three mistakes were made. ### Cheap dip products with no UV resistance Supermarket fence stains are mostly water and pigment with no UV filter. The pigment bleaches off in one British summer and the wood goes grey underneath. ### Painting damp or unprepared wood Treatment applied directly to a damp or algae-covered fence sits on the surface, never bonds, and washes off in the first heavy rain. ### Untreated end-grain on posts and panels Ground-contact posts and panel ends absorb water through unsealed end-grain and rot from the bottom up, usually long before the rest of the panel fails. ### Wrong product on the wrong substrate Garden offices, log cabins and pergolas need different specifications to a six-foot fence panel. Treating them all the same gets you a uniformly disappointing result. Our Process ## A clear sequence,no guesswork, no chaos. - 01 ### Survey & specification Visit, identification of timber condition, mapping of any rot or damage, and specification of the right treatment for each substrate: fence panels, posts, ground contact, joinery. - 02 ### Pressure-wash & repair Full pressure-wash to remove algae, dirt and loose existing treatment. Any failed panels or rotten sections flagged for replacement or end-cap repair before treatment. - 03 ### Drying & preparation Wood given adequate drying time, typically 24–48 hours after washing: before any product touches it. End-grain on posts treated with a separate sealer. - 04 ### Treatment application Two-coat application of a UV-resistant, breathable treatment by brush or spray, with masking of surrounding patio, walls and planting. - 05 ### Sign-off & care guide Walk-around, removal of masking and waste, and a written record of products used so maintenance refresh in three to five years' time matches exactly. Benefits ## What you actually get,not vague promises. ### Five-year service life Properly specified UV-resistant stains and paints on prepared timber typically deliver four to five years before any visible bleaching or maintenance is needed. ### Protects the timber, not just the colour Breathable treatments stop water ingress, prevent rot and resist biological growth, keeping the underlying wood structurally sound for longer. ### Right product for each garden surface Fences, sheds, pergolas and gates each get the appropriate specification, not a single tin of dip across the lot. ### Smart, considered garden appearance A properly finished fence and outbuilding instantly tidies up a garden visually, the highest-impact cosmetic change you can make outdoors. ### Cleanup included Masking of patio, walls and planting; overspray contained; waste removed at the end. ### Honest replacement advice Where panels are too far gone to save, we'll say so, and recommend replacement before you waste money treating a fence that needs taking down. In Depth ## The detail behindthe finished result. ### Products we specify Cuprinol Garden Shades and Ducksback for general fence and shed coverage in tinted, weather-resistant finishes. Osmo UV-Protection Oil for higher-end summerhouses and garden offices where a transparent or semi-transparent stain is wanted. Sikkens Cetol HLS-Plus on premium timber joinery where film thickness and UV resistance both matter. Where dark colours are specified on south-facing fences we discuss heat-absorption realistically, darker stains run hotter in summer and shorten product life by a year or two compared to a mid-tone. ### Surfaces and structures we finish Close-board, lap-panel and feather-edge fencing; post-and-rail and stock fencing; garden gates and side-access doors; sheds, summerhouses and garden offices; log cabins; pergolas, arbours and trellis; raised planters and decorative planters; storage benches; outdoor kitchens and bar units; decking handrails (decking boards themselves are a separate service). ### What we won't do We won't paint over actively rotten panels and call them fixed. We won't apply a thick film-forming product to fences that need to breathe. We won't use creosote substitutes that bleach inside a year. Where we can't honestly recommend the work, we'll say so before quote. Recent work ## Real Berkshire jobs,finished by our crew. Common Questions ## Everything you needbefore we start. How much does fence painting cost?A typical six-foot back garden of close-board fencing in a Bracknell semi (around 25 linear metres double-sided) is usually £450–£750 fully pressure-washed, prepped and two-coated. Larger gardens and bespoke joinery are quoted per metre or per structure. How long does fence painting take?A typical garden fence runs one to two days including pressure-wash, dry time and two coats. Larger or multi-structure jobs run three to five days. How long will the finish last?Properly specified UV-resistant treatments on prepared timber last four to five years before requiring a refresh. Cheap dip products often start fading within a single summer. Will you do the neighbour's side?If you have access and agreement with the neighbour, yes, and it's almost always worth doing both sides for a uniform appearance. What if some panels are rotten?We flag damaged panels at quote and either replace them or include end-cap repair where appropriate. We won't waste your money treating panels that are beyond saving. Can you paint a garden office or summerhouse?Yes, these are normal work. We specify higher-end UV-resistant products rather than fence dip because they're designed to last longer and read more as a building than a fence. Can you do a single garden gate?Yes, stand-alone garden gate and door work is a regular small job, usually completed in a single day. Do you protect the planting and patio?Always. Plants are covered with breathable dust sheets, patios masked, and any overspray contained. What about decking?Decking is a related but separate service, proper deck-cleaning and oil-finishing takes different equipment and products. We can quote it alongside fence work.
