Service overview
Fence, Shed & Garden Timber Painting: What You Need to Know
What the service covers
Painting and treating garden timber: panel and featheredge fencing, sheds, summerhouses, garden offices, gates, pergolas, decking edges, planters and trellis.
Who it is for
Homeowners wanting a tidier garden, people with new timber that needs its first protective coat, and landlords or businesses maintaining shared outside spaces.
When it is needed
Grey, faded timber, patchy old treatment, green algae, new untreated fencing or a change of colour to suit a garden redesign.
Brush or spray
Long runs of fencing can often be sprayed with airless equipment far faster than by hand. Detailed items like gates and pergolas are brushed.
The cost of waiting
What Happens If You Leave It
Garden timber is exposed to rain, sun and damp soil every day of the year.
Greying and fading
UV and weather strip colour and leave timber looking tired.
Algae and moss
Damp, shaded fences grow green and stay wet.
Patchy treatment
Earlier coats wear unevenly, leaving blotchy colour.
Untreated new timber
New fences and sheds need protecting from the start.
Common mistakes we see
- Coating dirty or damp timber, so the finish does not soak in.
- Overspraying onto neighbours' property, plants or cars.
- Choosing a colour without testing it on the actual timber.
- Missing the tops and cut ends where water gets in first.

In detail
Fence, Shed & Garden Timber Painting: Materials, Methods & Situations
The right product depends on the timber, its age and the finish you want.
Fencing
Panel and featheredge fencing is coated on your side, with edges and tops included. We can speak to you about access if both sides are needed.
Sheds and summerhouses
Cladding, trims, doors and window frames are all coated, with contrast colours on trims if you like.
Gates and pergolas
Detailed joinery is brushed carefully into every joint and edge.
Colour choice
From natural tones to bold garden colours, we recommend testing a small area so you see the true shade on your timber.
Local to you
Fence, Shed & Garden Timber Painting Across Basingstoke & Beyond
We are based in Basingstoke and carry out fence, shed & garden timber painting for homes and businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Being local means we can visit to quote quickly, plan work around the weather and your diary, and keep the job moving without long gaps between visits.
From terraced houses and new-build estates to period properties, offices and commercial units, the properties in this part of the South vary a lot. Older homes often need more preparation and filling, while newer homes tend to need careful work on fresh plaster and modern materials. We assess each job on its own terms and tell you plainly what it needs before we start.
Because we work 7 days a week, from 7am to 9pm, it is easier to book work in at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends when you are at home, or outside trading hours for businesses.
