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.

Our Process

1. Free Site Visit

We visit your property and walk every room with you. We note surface conditions, existing paint layers, any period features that need individual preparation, and any access requirements.

2. Written Quote

You receive a clear written quote covering every room, surface, and access element. Fixed price, not a day rate. The quote does not change unless you add to the scope.

3. Scheduled Work

We agree a start date and work through the property room by room. Furniture and floors are protected throughout. Each completed room is left usable at the end of the day.

4. Final Walkthrough

Before we leave, we walk the finished property with you. Anything that falls short of the standard is put right on the spot.

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
