Fence Painting Services
We paint and treat all types of timber fencing across Lincoln and south Manchester, from standard lap panels to bespoke close-board boundaries.
Timber Fence Panels
Lap panels and feather-edge boards are the most common boundary fencing across Sale, Timperley, and Gainsborough Barns. Both absorb stain and treatment well when the surface is clean and dry. We brush or spray depending on panel type and site access. Spray is faster on long continuous runs. Brush work suits smaller sections or areas close to planted borders.
Close-Board Fencing
Close-board fencing is the solid, upright-pale style common in larger back gardens across Lincoln and Grantham. The mortised arris rails and individual pales create a lot of surface area to treat. We work methodically along each section. All four faces of every pale get coated, not just the outward-facing side. This slows moisture ingress and extends timber life significantly.
Garden Gates
Gates take more wear than static fencing. Hinges flex constantly and the bottom rail sits closest to damp ground. A gate that looks smart from a distance often has bare or flaking wood at the base. We strip flaking paint back before treating. Bare timber is primed before top coats go on. For period properties in Gainsborough and Grantham, we advise on heritage colour options that match existing exterior woodwork.
Every fence job starts with a full assessment of the timber, existing coatings, and surrounding planting before any product goes on.
Staining and Protective Coatings
Choosing the right product matters as much as applying it correctly. We advise on the best treatment for your specific timber and conditions.
Fence Staining
Stain soaks into the timber rather than sitting on the surface. For natural wood fences that owners want to preserve rather than paint solid, a quality penetrating stain is the right choice. We advise on solvent-based versus water-based stains based on timber age, condition, and exposure. Older, drier timber often benefits from an oil-enriched stain. We stock Sadolin, Cuprinol, and Ronseal professional grades.
Protective Coatings
Some fences need a film-forming coating rather than a penetrating stain. Older panels with previous coatings, recycled timber, or fencing in very exposed positions all benefit from a surface-build treatment. We assess the timber first and recommend accordingly. Getting the base right before applying a topcoat prevents premature peeling and extends the coating life by years.
Coordinated Garden Treatments
Many homeowners want fencing, sheds, and decking treated in one visit. We quote combined jobs at a better rate than separate visits and ensure all garden timber reads as one coordinated scheme.

Fence Painting Costs in Lincoln
Prices are estimates only. Call 01522 457080 for a precise quote. A standard panel fence up to 20 metres typically costs £200 to £450, depending on height, condition, and product choice.
What Drives the Price
Run length. Longer continuous runs are more efficient to treat than multiple short sections with gaps and obstacles.
Timber condition. New or sound timber needs one or two coats. Heavily weathered, previously coated, or algae-covered fencing requires more preparation.
Product type. Penetrating stain is priced differently from film-forming paint. Premium products such as Sikkens cost more but last longer.
Typical Ranges
Single garden gate with posts: £80 to £150
Panel fence, 20 metres, sound timber: £200 to £380
Close-board fence, 30 metres, weathered: £400 to £650
