Which options suit homes in Studley?

Concrete posts and gravel boards

Slotted concrete posts hold panels in place without rotting, and concrete gravel boards along the bottom keep timber clear of wet soil. Concrete posts are heavier to install and more noticeable than timber. Many people put them in when replacing panel fences, because new panels can then be slotted in later without disturbing the posts.

Panel fencing

Pre-made timber panels, usually 1.83 m wide, slotted between posts. Lap, overlap and slatted panels are quick to fit and the most affordable option. They suit sheltered gardens best. In exposed spots, lightweight panels can rattle or blow out, so heavier panels or closeboard are a better choice there.

Fencing and gates prices in Studley

Before you book in Studley

What guarantee comes with a new fence?

The panels, posts and treated timber carry their manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for your fence are set out in your quote. Treated timber guarantees often depend on how cuts are treated and how the timber is used, so it's worth reading those conditions. Keep your quote and paperwork in case you need them later.

Which postcodes in Studley do you work in?

We cover B80 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Studley, neighbouring Redditch and Alcester are covered too.

What should I do before the fence goes up?

Clear plants, pots and sheds back from the boundary by about a metre if you can, and lift anything you want to keep. Talk to your neighbour about access and the work. If you know where drains, cables or pipes run near the boundary, tell us at survey.

Will I need permission from the council in Studley?

Not for a fence or gate up to 2 m high, or 1 m beside a road used by vehicles. Above those heights, or around a listed building, check with Stratford-on-Avon District Council.
