Looking for Someone - Flat Panel Fences Installation

Recommended Posts

Hi


Can anyone recommend someone with experience in putting in flat panel fences? I have ordered 3 but the company (Premier Sheds) don't deliver. The person they referred has given me a quote of GBP 320 (for just delivery and installation) which seems too high.


Appreciate other referrals so I can at least cross check his quote.


Thanks

Do you mean Premier Sheds by Streatheam Common station? They certainly delivered all my fence panels and two sheds...

?320 for delivery and installation is high-ish but not outrageous.


Last year after the storms we needed a new fence... landscape gardeners were charging over 1K to supply and install 5m of fencing. So we ended up getting an odd-job man to put up some basic posts and panels. I think he charged around ?200 labour, and the thing lasted about one month before it started falling apart. He also messed us about by not showing up when promised, not being around when the materials were delivered, etc.


In hindisght I'd happily pay an extra ?100 or so for somebody who actually knows what they're doing and comes recommended by the supplier.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
