Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing Installation
What height can I build my garden fence?
In the UK, you can typically install fencing up to 2 metres high along boundaries with neighbours, and up to 1 metre high adjacent to highways without planning permission. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional restrictions may apply. We provide guidance on local planning requirements during our consultation.
What types of fencing do you install?
We install close board timber fencing, overlap panel fencing, picket fences, post and rail fencing, trellis screens, and decorative garden fencing. For commercial properties, we provide palisade security fencing, mesh panel systems, and industrial boundary solutions. All fencing is available in various heights and finishes to suit your requirements.
How long does fence installation take?
Installation time depends on fence length and type. A typical residential garden fence (30-50 metres) usually takes 2-3 days to complete, including concrete setting time. Larger commercial projects may take 5-10 days. Weather conditions can affect timelines, particularly concrete setting. We provide realistic schedules during quotation and keep you updated on progress.
Do I need to check boundaries before installing fencing?
Yes, confirming exact boundary lines is essential before installation. We recommend checking your property deeds and discussing plans with neighbours. If boundaries are unclear, a surveyor may be needed. We provide guidance on boundary matters and can suggest diplomatically approaching neighbours about shared fencing costs where appropriate.
What maintenance does new fencing require?
Quality pressure-treated timber fencing requires minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspection for loose panels or posts, and re-staining or treating every 3-5 years to maintain appearance and weather protection. Concrete gravel boards help prevent timber contact with soil, extending fence life. We can advise on appropriate treatments during installation.
Can you install fencing on sloping ground?
Yes, we regularly install fencing on sloping sites using stepped or raked installation methods. Stepped fencing follows ground contours with horizontal panels at different levels, whilst raked fencing follows the slope angle. We assess your site during survey and recommend the most appropriate technique for both appearance and functionality.
