What should you look for in a fencing contractor?

Choosing the right commercial fencing contractor is important, but it isn’t always easy. There are a lot of firms to consider.

It’s essential that the fencing company that you choose does a quality job and delivers the high standard of fencing that your business or organisation needs.

To help you make the right decision, we’ve put together the following short guide to choosing a commercial fencing contractor.

A short guide to choosing a commercial fencing contractor

  • Value for money is important and it is vital to consider what is fair pricing. Cheap is attractive, but a low price usually means that you won’t get the experience, expertise and quality that are essential to a good job.
  • Expertise is important when it comes to commercial fencing. It’s important that your contractor has the right skills and extensive knowledge to get the job done to a high standard.
  • With regard to experience, you want a contractor that has direct experience in relation to your project. They should be able to expertly manage your project, offering advice and guidance when required.
  • You want a commercial fencing contractor that knows commercial fencing and gates systems back to front, including the latest products and systems. This level of knowledge is vital to ensuring that your project is delivered to the highest standard.
  • A commitment to quality products and materials goes hand in hand with the right experience and expertise. It is essential that you can see that a firm has a strong supply chain that consists of suppliers of quality products and materials.
  • A good work ethic is important. The right contractor will display this across its workforce – from warehouse employees to management staff. And in everything they do, from the moment you get in touch with an inquiry to the post-project-completion service.

More tips on finding the right commercial fencing contractor

  • Client satisfaction should be a constant of every commercial fencing project life cycle. The right commercial contractor partner will make this a key feature of their project management. You should be able to see what their clients think of them, both on their website and independently.
  • One way that you can assess potential commercial fencing contractors is to look them up through trade associations. They should be a member of key trade associations. You should be able to get a good insight into their quality and suitability from the information available on association websites.
  • The right commercial fencing contractor will have a good sense of community. Our communities, both work ones and personal ones, are vital to us all. Contributing to communities and working with charities is a good sign that you’re making the right choice.

Asking yourself, “what should I look for in a fencing contactor?” is a vital part of the contracting process. It is important that you properly assess commercial fencing contractors because the decision you make will define your satisfaction with and the success of your fencing project. This short guide is designed to help you do this and to make the right choice.

Theresa B.
Had new gate furniture installed on my gates, very pleased with the service from start to finish. Thank you Jade for keeping me updated.
Mike L.
Very pleased with the service provided. The delivery was on time and the quality of the item was very good. I did have one damaged panel and when I raised the issue, they immediately arranged for a replacement panel to be sent. I dealt with Jade Wallace throughout the ordering and delivery process and she was excellent, keeping me informed and providing top notch customer service.

Wonderful job these guys did - Daniel & Liam the installers were professional, polite and advised what the process was going to be.

We had to replace our garden fencing and gate recently. Having looked at a few fencing companies and the reviews they had received, we chose Knight Fencing Ltd. It was an easy decision, from the moment we originally contacted them to discuss our requirements to completion of the works. Their professionalism throughout was excellent. There were many obstacles to overcome and these were considered and undertaken with no fuss. Whilst we had already chosen to use Jackson Fencing products, Knight Fencing arranged everything with them. The installation team were very professional, polite and considerate. We have no hesitation in recommending Knight Fencing Ltd.
Toby E.
New side gate and panel fitted at the back garden. Good quality materials and the gate looks smashing.
Although it took a few weeks between accepting the quote and the work being done it was worth the wait. Used KF in the past and would do again.
