When I pull up to a property for a repair quote, I can usually spot the problem before I've even stepped out of the van. After decades installing and fixing fences across Greater Manchester, certain mistakes appear time and time again: and they're almost always avoidable. The truth is, fence installation looks straightforward until you're knee-deep in clay soil on a wet Tuesday in Stockport, dealing with a panel that won't sit level because someone eyeballed the post spacing.

When it comes to fencing in Manchester, I've seen firsthand how our notorious North West weather can turn a simple installation mistake into a costly disaster. After 40+ years working with fencers in Manchester, I can tell you that what works perfectly in drier climates often fails spectacularly here. The reality is this: Manchester gets an average of 150 rainy days per year, regular freeze-thaw cycles through winter, and enough wind to test even the sturdiest installations.
