Fence Painting Services
Fence enquiries can include lap panels, close-board sections, posts, rails and gates, subject to timber condition and access.
Timber Fence Panels
Fence-panel material, condition, previous treatment and accessible faces are checked before preparation is proposed.
Close-Board Fencing
The initial inspection establishes which fence faces, posts, rails and gates are accessible.
Garden Gates
Gate material, hardware, edges and accessible faces are inspected separately from the adjoining fence run. Related services: exterior woodwork.


The decorator assesses the timber, existing coatings, access and surrounding planting before recommending products.
Staining and Protective Coatings
Treatment choice depends on timber condition, previous products, exposure, appearance and current manufacturer instructions.

Fence Staining
Stains and film-forming coatings behave differently, and neither is treated as the default across different fences. Product choice follows inspection of the timber, previous treatment, exposure and the requested appearance.
Protective Coatings
A film-forming coating may be considered where it is compatible with the timber and previous treatment. Preparation and coat requirements follow the selected system’s current instructions.
Coordinated Garden Treatments
Fence, shed and deck work can be discussed together, but each timber surface and treatment is listed separately. Related services: sheds decking.
For broader exterior painting including fascias and soffits, call to discuss your full scope.

The Process
1. Site Assessment
Your decorator visits your property and assesses the fence with you. They note the condition of panels and posts, existing coatings, areas needing preparation, and access requirements.
2. Scope and Quotation
The fence quote measures the accessible faces and lists posts, rails, panels and gates included. Timber condition, preparation, treatment and exclusions are recorded.
3. Scheduled Work
Your decorator agrees the work sequence and records protection for nearby planting, paving and adjoining property.
4. Final Walkthrough
You review the accessible fence faces and included gates with your decorator. The product’s stated drying conditions and any temporary access limits are confirmed.
Fence Painting Costs in Durham

What Drives the Price
Run length. The quote records accessible faces, gaps, obstacles, gates, posts and changes in height.
Timber condition. Coat requirements for new or sound timber follow the selected product’s coverage instructions. Heavily weathered, previously coated, or algae-covered fencing requires more preparation.
Product type. Coverage, preparation and coat requirements vary by compatible treatment and current product instructions.
What the Quotation Covers
Preparation depends on the timber condition, previous treatment and defects found.
Restricted boundaries, planting and neighbouring access are considered before the work area is agreed.
The quotation identifies the fence faces, posts, rails and gates included. It also records timber condition, preparation and the proposed treatment.
