Fencing in Ash.

Ash is the larger village three miles east along the A257, closer to Sandwich than to Canterbury. Period cottages on the main street, newer developments off Guilton, and paddock and orchard-belt boundaries backing onto the East Kent fruit belt.

What the work looks like: Rear-boundary panel fencing on the Guilton-side developments (fastest install, cleanest finish). Closeboard on the older cottage rear boundaries. Longer orchard-boundary runs on the north side of the village where the fruit belt starts.

Typical spec: Panel fencing at £60-70/m on the newer estates, closeboard at £80-90/m on the older cottage boundaries. Orchard-boundary runs quoted individually - post spacing tighter on the exposed runs.
