FAQs
Garden Fencing Questions, Answered
The things people most often ask us before booking garden fencing work. If your question isn’t here, give Rob a call — the advice is free.
How high can a garden fence be without planning permission?
In most back gardens a fence can be up to 2 metres high without planning permission. Next to a road or a footpath beside a road, the limit drops to 1 metre. Any trellis or topper on top counts towards the total height. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some new-build estates with open-plan front gardens can have tighter rules, so it is worth checking with your council if any of those apply.
Do I need to talk to my neighbour before replacing a fence?
If the fence is on your land, you do not legally need their permission, but it is always worth a friendly word first, as we may need access to their side. It is also worth checking which boundaries are yours: your property deeds or the title plan from HM Land Registry sometimes show this with a T mark. By convention the smooth, finished face of the fence faces outwards towards the neighbour.
Which type of fence is best: closeboard, feather edge or panels?
Closeboard and feather edge fencing is built board by board on site, so it is stronger, copes better with wind and follows sloping ground neatly. Ready-made panels are quicker to fit and cost less, but they are more likely to be damaged in strong winds, which matters in exposed spots. We will recommend what suits your garden and your budget when we come out.
How much does a new garden fence cost?
The price mainly depends on the length and height of the run, the style of fence and the type of posts, plus any gates and whether the ground slopes. Taking down and clearing an old fence adds to it too. We measure up on site and give you a free, itemised quote with no hidden extras.
