In order to properly install a new fence in your outdoor area, we will first need to prepare the site by clearing the area and digging postholes in the ground. We will then set the fence posts in the pre-dug postholes using concrete, before attaching the panels and boards.
We will finish the installation by applying some finishing touches and adding sealants to protect the wood from the elements before cleaning up the site so that is safe, clean and ready to be enjoyed.
There are several types of fencing materials available for installing a new garden fence in the UK. Here are some common options:
- Wood: Wood is a popular choice for garden fencing as it is affordable and easy to work with. It is available in a range of styles and finishes, from traditional picket fences to more modern slatted designs. Some of the most common types of wood used for fencing include cedar, pine, and spruce.
- Vinyl: Vinyl is a low-maintenance and durable option that can withstand harsh weather conditions. It is available in a range of colours and styles, and is a popular choice for those who want a fence that requires little upkeep.
- Metal: Metal fences are sturdy and long-lasting, and are available in a range of materials including steel, aluminium, and wrought iron. They can be customised with decorative elements and are particularly suited to more modern designs.
- Concrete: Concrete fencing is a durable and long-lasting option that requires little maintenance. It is particularly suited to areas with high winds or extreme weather conditions.
- Bamboo: Bamboo fencing is an eco-friendly option that is becoming increasingly popular. It is lightweight, affordable, and has a natural look that blends well with garden surroundings.
Natural wood, such as cedar, teak and redwood, are all fantastic and popular options for garden fences. Bamboo fencing has also grown in popularity recently due its sustainability and durability, whilst vinyl fences offer a cost-effective option that requires very little maintenance or upkeep.
If you’re unsure about the best material for you, speak to our fencing experts and we’ll give you a detailed breakdown of all your fencing options.
Before contacting us for a new fence installation, you should first determine the purpose of your new fence, identify its proposed location and decide on the type of materials you want to use.
A fence installation requires a clear garden space that is free from items and debris so that your fence can be installed safely and efficiently.
If you need any help in clearing your garden or moving large objects or garden ornaments before the work begins, we will be happy to take care of that for you.
If your new gate or fence meets the UK’s permitted development rules, you will not need to obtain planning permission
Permitted development rules require your gate, wall or fence to be no taller than 2 meters high whilst also not facing a road, not being located in a conservation area and not being part of a listed building.
If you want to build a fence higher than 2 meters, you will likely need planning permission from your local council.
The cost of installing a fence can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of fence, the materials used, the size of the area to be fenced, and the location of the property. Here are some general estimates for the cost of installing a fence:
- Wood fence - total cost could range from £1,800 to £3,600 for a typical 30-metre fence
- Vinyl fence - total cost could range from £900 to £2,400 for a typical 30-metre fence
- Metal fence - total cost could range from £2,400 to £6,000 for a typical 30-metre fence
- Concrete fence - total cost could range from £3,000 to £7,200 for a typical 30-metre fence
- Bamboo fence - total cost could range from £450 to £1,200 for a typical 30-metre fence
The time it takes to install a new garden fence will vary depending on the length and size of the fence, the type of materials used, the complexity of the design and the terrain of the installation site.
In general, a small to medium-sized fence installation project take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete, while larger projects can take several days or even weeks.
We always provide accurate estimate for your specific project before any work is carried out.
To keep a new fence looking fresh and in good condition for longer, there are several maintenance tasks you can perform:
- Regular cleaning: Use a garden hose and a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, debris, and any stains that may have accumulated on your fence.
- Stain or paint: Staining or painting your new fence will protect it from the elements and keep it looking new. Depending on the type of wood your fence is made of, staining or painting will also help protect it from water damage, rot, and insect infestation.
- Trim vegetation: Overgrown vegetation can damage your fence by putting pressure on the panels or posts, leading to warping or leaning. Make sure to regularly trim any vegetation growing near your fence to prevent this from happening.
- Check for damage: Regularly inspect your fence for any damage. Look for loose boards, missing hardware, or signs of rot or insect damage. Repair any damage promptly to prevent it from getting worse.
- Protect from moisture: Apply a water-resistant sealant to wooden fences to help stop it from absorbing too much water, thus preventing rot.
The easiest way to determine property lines is to speak with your neighbour. If the boundary is not already clear, try to agree on it together.
This is normally not too difficult, however, if you can’t come to an agreement the matter becomes more complex and could involve legal disputes. Some actions you could try at that point would be; hiring a land surveyor, checking with your local government, looking for boundary markings or checking your property deed.
