We work out of our yard in Bury and cover Bolton, Bury and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Radcliffe, Westhoughton, Farnworth, Walkden, Middleton, Whitefield, Prestwich, Salford, Wigan, Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport and central Manchester. If you are not sure whether you are in range, ask us and we will tell you.

No. Quotes and advice are free. Send us photos and a short description of the job and we will come back to you. Where a job needs measuring or the ground checking, we will arrange a site visit.

Your location - a full address is best, or at least an area such as Bolton, Bury or Westhoughton - plus a description of what you need and, ideally, photos. A clear photo of the fence, gate or damage usually lets us give conclusive feedback straight away.

Yes. Vehicle damage, break-in damage, storm damage, dropped or seized gates, bent or missing pales, damaged rails and panels are all everyday work for us. We repair palisade, mesh, railings and most other industrial and school fencing, and we weld and paint finish on site.

Yes. We offer emergency fence repair, emergency gate repair and temporary fencing to make a site secure again. We are usually out on site, so a call or a text with photos is the quickest way to reach us and find out when we can get to you.

Steel palisade is the heavy-duty option: cold rolled pales on steel rails and RSJ posts, usually 2.0m or 2.4m high, and very hard to get through. Welded mesh systems such as Paladin, 358 prison mesh and twin-wire are generally more cost effective and look softer, which is why they suit schools, colleges and public spaces. 358 mesh and twin-wire ball court mesh are priced similarly to palisade.

Yes. A large part of our work is for schools, colleges, and authorities including Bury Council and Bolton Council and their sub-divisions, as well as hospitals, warehouses, manufacturers and commercial premises.

Often, yes. We provide a take down and re-erect service - fence moving, fence reuse and relocation - for steel or iron railings, palisade fencing, mesh panel fencing, steel barriers and gates. Where the existing fence is sound this is usually far cheaper than installing new.

Yes. We install galvanised razor wire, barbed wire and concertina razor coil on top of fences, gates, walls and building roofs where a site needs a higher level of perimeter protection.

The work we do here is industrial and commercial - schools, councils, industry and business. Bolton Industrial Fencing is a division of Bury Fencing, which is the side of the business that handles domestic work.

Yes. Bespoke steel railings, machine and racking protection barriers, KeyClamp handrail, window grilles, bin store compounds and protective cages are all things we cut, weld and paint finish to suit the site.
