Everything you need to know about fence building and repairs
How long does fence installation take?
A typical 20-metre garden fence takes 1-2 days to install. This includes removing old fencing, installing new posts with concrete (which needs 24 hours to set), and fitting panels. Larger projects or complex sites may take longer.
Do I need permission to install a fence?
Usually no planning permission is needed for garden fences under 2 metres high (1 metre if next to a road). However, listed buildings or conservation areas may have restrictions. We can advise on your specific situation.
What height fence can I have?
The most common height is 6ft (1.8m) for rear and side boundaries. Front gardens typically have 3-4ft fencing. We stock various heights and can advise on what's appropriate for your property.
How long will my fence last?
Quality pressure-treated panel fencing typically lasts 10-15 years. Close board fencing can last 15-25 years with proper maintenance. Lifespan depends on timber quality, installation, and exposure to weather.
Do you remove old fencing?
Yes, we remove and dispose of old fencing as part of our service. This includes dismantling panels, removing posts (including concrete), and clearing all debris. Your site is left clean and ready for new installation.
What if I'm not sure about boundary lines?
We recommend checking your property deeds which show boundary ownership. If there's any uncertainty, speak with neighbors before installation. We can work to existing fence lines or help identify probable boundaries.
Can you match existing fencing?
Yes, we can match or closely approximate existing fence styles, heights, and panel types. Bring photos or we'll assess during site survey. Exact matches depend on current availability of materials.
Do you install concrete posts or gravel boards?
We use timber posts set in concrete for strength and longevity. Gravel boards are always included - these protect panels from ground moisture and rot, significantly extending fence life.
