Reviews
4.9
South Coast Fencing Ltd is often praised for friendly, efficient service, fair prices and good-quality fencing materials, panels, gates and installations. Reviews mention helpful advice, careful planning, fast work and responsive aftercare, including fencing, hardwood and bespoke gates, electric gates and decking. A few customers report communication problems, cancelled appointments, an unresolved quote and concerns about installation quality and aggressive interactions, so experiences have not been consistent.
Friendly experience - extremely happy with the work provided by South Coast. Would highly recommend their work
Good for quality fence panels.
We had a less than stellar experience. Did a site survey provided a quote for a fence, they started the job with only one young guy. He gave up and walked off after putting in one panel. Charle got involved and refused to complete our fence unless we were prepared to accept an increased quote of more than twice the original. We declined and found another contractor who installed a better quality (concrete posts properly installed) for 30% less than SC's revised quote. To be fair to SC their original quote did seem low and they did allow us to find another contractor but we feel once a job has been surveyed, accepted and started it should be honored or at least subject to a reasonable increase. We also thought it was at least a two man job, SC said it one person for an install was normal but the other contractor supplied three for less cost.
(1) Note that x2 recent reviews of this company (see below) say: "Threatening and very aggressive" and "Arrogant and aggressive to the point of being dangerous". I was also shouted at by the director (Charlie Appell). I agree with the other reviews. (2) The most recent review (below) says they came and did a survey but then did not provide the quote. That is also exactly what happened to me. (3) They also cancelled x3 appointments. (4) The Google Rating of 4.3 is a very poor rating. I wonder if they wonder why. Maybe they dont care. Maybe that is why! It certainly explains the poor rating and many bad reviews!
We asked them to quote for a new electric gate, they came round to do a survey. That was over three weeks ago I’ve chased for the quote via email and phone had no reply. Will be using someone else.
My fence is ok, but avoid if you want decking done. Mine is only 5 years old and looks like this under the boards - wet and rotten due to being sat directly on soil. I invited them to quote to repair it and was told sorry too busy, find another decking company. So much for customer service.
Please avoid at all cost these are a bunch of Cowboys threatening and very aggressive AVOID
Excellent quality hardwood gates and installation. Friendly service. Gates looked even better than expected.
I had a garden gate replaced. They were friendly, fast and efficient, also good communication. Unfortunately for me one of the supporting pillars started to fail (splitting). This was simply down to bad luck with the material. I contacted them, they came out, accepted it was failing and sent out another staff to replace it. So their after care services is 10 out of 10. They will certainly be at the top of my list if I need new work done.
Excellent service from this company. Efficient, professional and accommodating. Special thanks to Charlie for all his help.
Very efficient service. Two young lads came to do the fence erecting. Very pleasant and hard working young men. Always polite and wearing a smile. Well done- great service.
Excellent quality and great work - customer service first class

Good quality solid wood bespoke gate and quality furniture. Lee and Casey worked hard.
We received an excellent survey service from Charlie at South Coast Fencing. Great attention to detail and care for the impact on our neighbours. We greatly appreciated the time he spent with us planning for our fencing.
Arrogant and aggressive to the point of being dangerous.
Very helpful staff . Had everything I needed. Good prices. Will definitely use them again.
Very quick to get what you need for any fencing job.
Great stock, great prices, great service! Recommended 👍
Our new fence looks amazing and we love the contemporary look. Gianni was very helpful and also made great suggestions and offered good advice regarding the finished look of the fence. Georgia and Gianni are a great team, lovely people to deal with, we’d definitely use them again.
Always a friendly and efficient service from Martin and the SCF team. I would always recommend the service that they provide
