Garden fencing across Surrey, Hampshire & South West London
Good fencing does several jobs at once: it marks the boundary, gives the garden privacy and shelter, and frames everything else you have done to the space. It also has to stand up to wind and weather for years, so posts, footings and the gap between timber and soil matter as much as the style you choose.
We fit new fencing, replace old runs and carry out fence repairs, often as part of a wider project with a new patio, lawn or driveway.

Planning advice
Planning a new fence: what to consider
- Who owns the boundary
- Check your title plan or deeds before replacing a boundary fence. Ownership is not always obvious, and it is worth agreeing plans with your neighbour before work starts.
- Height limits
- Under permitted development rules, fences, walls and gates can be up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles, without planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent.
- Posts
- Concrete posts do not rot and let panels or boards be replaced individually. Timber posts look more natural and last longer when they are not standing in wet ground.
- Gravel boards
- A gravel board along the bottom keeps fence timber off the soil, which is where rot usually starts.
- Wind and exposure
- Solid fences catch the wind. On exposed sites, posts need deep, solid footings, and designs with gaps between the boards let some of the wind through.
- Access and neighbours
- Fencing work often needs access from both sides of the boundary. Agreeing access and timing with your neighbours in advance makes the job easier for everyone.
FAQs
Fencing: common questions
Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
Not usually, if it is no more than 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Higher fences, and fences at listed buildings or in some conservation areas, may need permission.
Who is responsible for a boundary fence?
There is no automatic rule about which side you own. Check your title plan and deeds, which may show ownership with T marks, and talk to your neighbour before replacing a shared boundary.
Concrete or timber posts?
Concrete posts do not rot and make it easy to replace a single panel later. Timber posts look softer and more natural. Both work well when they are set in solid footings.
Can a fence be repaired rather than replaced?
Often, yes. If the posts are sound, damaged boards or panels can usually be repaired or replaced without renewing the whole run.
