Mark Henderson of M H Fencing & Gates must be doing something right if his growing list of positive Google reviews is anything to go by.

This Bishop Auckland-based contractor comes in for glowing praise with many reviews already posted painting a picture of Mark and his four-strong team of skilled tradesmen thriving on hard work and exhibiting integrity in abundance.

One contented customer wrote: “Storm damage to our fence and gate. MH fencing came out quickly and work completed to an excellent standard. Lovely finish and reasonable price. All rubbish taken and garden left tidy. Very happy. Thank you!”

Another enthused: “Could not be happier with my new gates. Great company, arrived on time in bad weather but still got the job done. Lots of experience. High quality gates were fitted. Old school tradesmen are hard to find. Highly recommended and would have given 50 stars if I could.”

You can’t say fairer than that with Mark fully aware of the importance of building up a reputation as a trusted and reliable contractor.

“It’s great to read the reviews we get,” explained Mark “and it makes my team and I justifiably proud of what we do.

“We are an established family business that has been trading in the Bishop Auckland area for the past years. I started from nothing and didn’t have ‘two hapennies’ to rub together but we have come a long way since those early days.

“We specialise in creating made to measure fences, gates, sheds, and other timber and metal structures.

“Our gates are handmade by time-served joiners, using quality timber or metal and offer a fully bespoke service, making gates to meet our customers’ measurements and designs

“Our goal is to make visions become a reality and whether it’s security fencing, a decorative element to improve outside spaces, summer houses, sheds or other landscaping services, we are always on hand to help out.

“We also do a fair bit of fencing during the summer months with a particular focus on domestic, commercial and equestrian work across County Durham and the northeast.

“We run a mini digger and a postknocker manufactured and supplied by Suffolk-based Shelbourne Reynolds.

“We’ve got four staff including my son Craig who is 19 and already runs his own tractor. My wife Carolyn also helps out with the admin which allows me to concentrate on managing our contracts and pricing up new jobs.

“We always strive to do the best possible job, whether that be fencing or gate installation projects, and word gets around fast that you can be relied upon. The level of repeat business is testament to that.

“It’s an ethos that I’ve adopted from day one and it serves me well.

“We all work hard and it can be stressful at times but the testimonials we get from customers makes it all worthwhile,” added Mark.
