Latest Reviews and Feedback

We were very happy with the service we received. This was not a straightforward job, as part of the fence needed to be installed on top of a stepped boundary wall, with a lot of tall plants growing either side of it. Steve was very helpful in talking through the different options and answering my many questions. We also wanted to close a gap in our neighbour's fence, and Steve was very helpful in working with us and our neighbour on the best solution. The workmen were very polite and explained any issues they encountered. The quality of the fencing looks very good.

Very happy with the works- a part of my fence blew down in a storm and MBC took the old bits of fence away and replaced the panels needed, and tidied up afterwards. Great service and clear, reasonable pricing.

RG 01 24

I arranged to have a couple of quotes for the work and was particularly impressed by Steve from MBC who came round to do the quote. He was very knowledgeable and appreciated his recommendations. I felt safe having MBC do the work. The work was booked in but in between that time we had the storms and some of the fence came down. Steve was really prompt in getting back to me and did a temp repair which really put my mind at rest as otherwise my property was vulnerable. The work was carried out efficiently and quickly and looks great.

GF 01 24

I needed a fence post repaired - only a small job but necessary. MBC Fencing quoted quickly and arranged to do the work in a timely fashion. Two guys came on a very cold morning and completed the job very professionally, so much so that I talked to them about a potential bigger job. Thanks Guys!

FP 01 24

I initially called Steve between Christmas and new year as I was worried that the fence might fall on the car. He came out within an hour and made a temporary repair for no charge. He then provided a quote to install a concrete repair spur post. The team came at the time and date arranged to install the post, and the fence now seems secure. Great experience.

NC 01 24

We had 45m of close board fencing to be erected on our new boundary. Steve came around last summer to give us a quote which was very competitive. The job was finally actioned in Jan 24, when we had 3 very professional, polite and experienced English guys doing a job very well. They verified every post location, height and other details before completing the job beautifully. Very impressed. And we are fairly demanding clients. Thanks so much guys.

BJ 01 24

We are returning customers to MBC Fencing as we have on both occasions now found Steve and his team to be a pleasure to work with.
Steve is prompt in his communications. And the work carried out was to a high standard, with the areas around each repair left tidy. Steve also took the time to share with me maintenance tips on how to delay/prevent future decay of fence posts, advice which I shall be following to the tee.

SM 03 16

We used MBC fencing in Reading to complete a large garden fence. Steve and his team gave us a fantastic service! Nothing was too much trouble and they did exactly what we asked them to do. We had several quotes and for the service provided theirs was by far the absolute best. The team arrived and completed the job very quickly to a 1st class standard, all the mess was cleared away thoroughly and the fence is erected to give us not just a beautiful looking fencing but it is both solid and secure ..... Thanks MBC FENCING.

KW 03 16

Steve Baker has been polite, helpful and very easy to deal with. His team were a pleasure to have around and the garden fence along the side and rear (with gate) is an excellent job. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. Highly recommended.

AH 02 16

Outstanding. We appreciated swift response and temporary repair when high wind ripped fence loose, late on Saturday afternoon. Estimate received in 2 days and replacement fence erected in 2 weeks. Professional job, nice team, attention to detail and care taken with own and neighbours' flower beds. Very pleased.

ER 02 16

MBC Fencing are helpful, professional and knowledgeable. They have excellent customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would happily recommend them to other people.

RM 02 16

I recently asked Steve to quote for a new fence to be erected in our back garden. The quote was prepared very quickly and was an excellent price added to the fact that they are a local business we went with Steve. We have been delighted with the work which was carried out and MBC did an outstanding job for us. They arrived on time, worked diligently and left the garden tidier than when they arrived! I couldn't have asked for a higher quality of service and have no hesitation at all in recommending Steve and his team.

MN 02 16

I recently had some fence work carried out by Steve Baker and his team.  The work was carried out promptly and he kept in touch both by telephone and email with any time changes.  I found Steve and his team to be professional,,courteous and they delivered what we had agreed.  I  will certainly use this company again and can wholeheartedly recommend them.

CH 02 16

I’ve seldom seen such excellent service.  Texted Steve on a Sunday hoping for a reply on Monday.   He came round within an hour and fixed two damaged fence panels .  Steve is friendly, professional and clearly an expert on fences.   I know who to call next time we need a new fence or repairs.

FB 02 16

Steve and his team erected a fence in my garden this week. I am very very happy with the result. The standard of finishing is top notch, the finished product speaks for itself and it looks so good, my neighbours now want a similar one! Steve is a very approachable, friendly, family orientated guy who respects the customer's want for value for money without compromising on quality of the product. Very happy customer!

All I need to say is: Good Time keeping. Good Workmanship. Good Price.

What a refreshing change! A Contractor that actually fulfils every promise made!! Such a difference nowadays to the many who glibly advertise their wares only to let the customer down time and again. I have no hesitation in fully recommending Steve Baker and his team. 

PR 12 15

I cannot recommend Steve and his team highly enough. Only a small fencing job but they were keen to help and the site visit was made within a day of my first call. The quote arrived on the same day as the site visit and was very reasonable. The team started the work less than a week after I accepted the quote and did everything perfectly. Next time I have a fencing requirement, MBC Fencing & Garden Services will be my first call.

MD 12 15

Fantastic service off a genuinely lovely guy! I wanted a quote to fix my fence (it's standing but wonky and I was worried it was structurally not safe and secure enough). Steve came round to quote me for the job. He told me there was no evidence that it was not safe and would collapse so actually I didn't need it fixed! He even spent extra time here wedging it to stop the panels from rattling in the wind!!! What a lovely guy and clearly out to give the best service!!!! VERY happy customer!

EZ 12 15

Very pleased with what Steve and his men did in quick time as well.

SB 11 15

Steve and his excellent team have completed the 50 meter run of close board fencing quickly and tidily. Steven's quote was the best, his attitude and that of his team was very friendly, helpful and honest. I was expecting the job to take at least two days but they finished in one - all be it a long one - day. The materials he uses are first rate, the workmanship is excellent and the site was left tidier than when he started. Steve was recommended to me by my brother in law and I have no hesitation in recommending MBC to you all.

CH 11 15

We have had trellis fencing installed in the back garden by MBC, and a new front fence.I cannot speak too highly for the service provided by Steve and team. They are prompt, polite, courteous and tidy at competitive pricing. 

JG 10 15

Great company, good advice, friendly, on time and efficient, what more do you need. 

SB 10 15

Right from the first contact with Steve to arrange the quote, through to the completion of our fencing project to the highest standard, the whole experience of dealing with MBC fencing has been a pleasure. After the initial quote our plans changed slightly. On emailing our change in requirements we got an amended, competitive, quotation almost instantly. Once on site the team were all extremely friendly and polite and they did a really excellent job. They had to contend with tight spaces to work in some areas of our garden and treated our neighbours newly painted decking as if it were their own, taking great care not to damage it. They didn't get put off when the heavens opened and carried on to get the job finished. I think they even left my garden tidier than when they started! I would definitely use MBC fencing again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. Thanks Steve and the team! 

GR 08 15

Excellent service...arrived when they said they would. Introduced themselves. Quote sent quickly. Did great job fixing fence and left the place immaculate. Cannot recommend them too highly. 

JEL 06 15

Steve and his team did a really great job for us. They replace the fence the whole length of our garden in less than a day. They arrived when expected and got straight on with the job. The fence they have built is top quality and really robust and we have had several friends and relatives comment on the quality and build of it. Not only that the quote Steve gave us was the best. I can't recommend him enough and we have already passed his number onto several friends wanting to ask him to do work for them. 

TB 06 15

Great job from Steve and his team. They were polite, professional and tidy. My fence and gate were completed on time and on budget. I would recommend MBC. 

ND 06 15

Steve and the team were polite, professional, and we are really pleased with the finished article. Steve was helpful on ensuring we put the gates in the right place. We will be having them back to fit a driveway gate and a garden gate. Quality work at a good price.

SS 06 15

Steve and his team were excellent, extremely professional and charming. My beautiful fence with trellis is simply divine and makes my garden, complete. Within 12 hours my old fence was removed, the forest behind even had to be cleared to allow Steve and his team to dig deep enough to secure the fence, so firmly it will last for years and years. I cannot recommend them highly enough, whatever they undertake will have the result you want, perfection. Thanks to Steve. this work was done April 2015. 

CK 06 15

Steve Baker was just one of several fencers who quoted for the job of replacing a fence for me. His quote arrived promptly, was very clear and very competitive.

He worked well, negotiating carefully with a neighbour who had some issues. He took great care with plants and electric cables in that area and tidied up extremely well.

A pleasure to deal with and someone I would definitely recommend.

IL 02 14

We were extremely happy with the service provided by Steve; he visited us to provide a quotation and do a site check very promptly and gave a very competitive quote. The work was carried out to a very high standard and in a timely, proficient and tidy manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending MBC Fencing to others. 

DL 02 14

Steve and his team did a great job with the removal of our old fencing and installation of new fencing. From advice and quote through to delivery and installation, we felt confident in MBC's skills and professionalism (as well as friendliness and customer service), and were very pleased with the results.
