FAQs

At Aaron Fencing we use mainly softwood for strength, weather resistance and good weight bearing ability. We use only high quality softwood timber from sustainable sources. We only select timber that is suitable for purpose and durable, however it must be stressed that wood is a natural product and will include characteristics which are not flaws but part of its beauty, for instance:

KNOTS - Knots are a naturally occurring feature of timber that are present where branches have been cut from the tree before it's peeled and sawn. Knots should be expected on the finished product but we do try to minimise their presence on highly visible parts.

SWELLING AND SHRINKAGE - Timber swells in moist humid conditions and shrinks in dry arid conditions. This effectively changes the volume of the timber and the parts closest to the surface will dry out quicker than the centre. This can cause splitting as the timber dries out in hot weather and in wetter weather these splits may reduce or "heal". These changes in the structure of the timber may also cause it to twist or distort which is, of course, impossible to predict in manufacture but will have no effect on the structural integrity of the finished piece.

RESIN - Resin is a naturally occurring substance in softwoods and as the wood dries it may rise to the surface. If undesirable it can be removed with a cloth soaked in turpentine or left to harden and removed with a scraper.

VARIATION IN COLOUR - No two trees are alike and this means that variations in grain density will cause the wood to be more or less absorbent; this in turn affects the way the preservative is absorbed by the wood which will accordingly be lighter or darker. These colour differences will become less pronounced as the timber is exposed to the weather but a consistent flat colour without variation will never be achieved.

SPOTTING OR MOULDY LOOKING AREAS - Occasionally small green or white spots rise to the surface of pressure treated timber. These are specks of resin that have been dyed by the preservation treatment. They are not detrimental and can usually be cleaned off with a damp cloth.

Our timber products are all pressure treated to provide protection against wood boring insects and all types of rot and do not need painting at installation. As with any timber product it is advisable to treat our products annually to extend its lifespan. It is also advisable to use a gravel board with your panels and to ensure compost heaps and rubbish etc are not leant up against your fence, shed or binstore. When it is time to treat your fence or if you wish to change the colour to blend in with your desired garden scheme, our advice is to always buy the best quality timber treatment, and ensure you read the manufacturers instructions.

Initially we will discuss your project with you to assess the quantity of fencing required, and gain an idea of the size and layout of your site. This will enable us to produce an estimate. If you then decide to go ahead with the installation, we will visit your site, confirm all the details, and produce a final quotation.

If we are installing your fence we will visit your site to measure up, agree the finer details with you and prepare a final quotation.

Yes, similiarly with installations we undertake repairs to existing fencing at commercial properties, and sites within the education sector. We will be happy to provide a quotation to do this, or to replace old or damaged fences with new fencing. We can also supply temporary fencing if you need to secure an area while awaiting repairs.

Installation times can vary depending on the complexity of the job, the time of year, and the type of fencing we are erecting. For an estimate of our current lead times then please give us a call on 01582 665779.

We ask for a deposit from you at this stage. This deposit normally covers the cost of the materials. We accept cash, BACS (on-line bank transfers) paypal, and most major credit cards (we do not accept cheques as payment). We expect the balance to be paid upon completion of the job.
