Fencing and gates in Warwickshire

What should you know before starting in Warwickshire?

Before replacing a boundary fence in Warwickshire, confirm who owns it — your deeds often show this — and agree the line with your neighbour. Planning permission from the district or borough council for your town is only needed above 2 m, or above 1 m beside a road.

Adding trellis on top? Treat it as part of the fence height when checking the limits.
Driveway gates should open inwards, not out over the pavement.
Concrete posts and gravel boards don't rot at ground level.

Which option fits your home?

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.

Slatted and composite fencing

Horizontal slatted timber gives a modern look and lets some air and light through, which suits contemporary gardens. Composite fencing, made from wood fibre and plastic, doesn't need painting or treating and won't rot. Both cost more than standard fences, and composite systems have their own posts and fixings.

What does your fence or gate cost in Warwickshire?

Prices in Warwickshire match the rest of our area: £60–£230 per linear metre. 1.8 m closeboard fence with concrete posts and gravel boards, old fence removed: usually £95–£135 per linear metre.

Fencing and gates in Warwickshire: common questions

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.

Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?

Yes — we cover Warwickshire from our West Bromwich base, including Coventry, Solihull and Birmingham. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

How long does it take to replace a fence?

Most garden fences take one to three days, depending on length, post type and how hard the old posts are to remove. Closeboard takes longer than panels because it's built in place. Post concrete needs time to firm up before panels are fully loaded, which we allow for in the programme.

Will I need permission from the council in Warwickshire?

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 the district or borough council for your town.
