Professional Fence Painting in Ipswich

Lapped timber fence panels are the most common fencing type across Ipswich suburbs. They need a penetrating preservative stain rather than a surface film paint.

We apply the stain with a brush to work it into the panel laps and gaps. Brush application takes longer but gives full coverage.

Close-board fencing with pales fixed to arris rails needs the same treatment as panel fencing but takes longer. Each pale is a separate piece and must be covered individually.

For properties with shared boundaries in Kesgrave or Stoke Park, we confirm access and check the treatment will not affect the adjacent garden.

Garden gates see more movement and handling than fence panels. They need a slightly harder finish than the surrounding fence.

Gate posts get the same treatment as fence panels, including mould treatment on the post base where soil contact occurs.

Traditional fence brown has given way to a much wider colour range. Slate grey, charcoal, forest green, and natural oak tones complement modern landscaping across Martlesham Heath and Westerfield.

For deck painting alongside the fence, we can schedule both in one visit.

Fence panels in heavy shade from mature trees need a product with higher mould resistance than a standard garden stain. We advise on the right product based on light levels and exposure of the specific fence run.
