Fencing near you

Common fencing problems

• Panels blown out in high winds
• Posts rotted at ground level so the fence leans
• Gates dropping, sticking or not latching
• Gaps that let pets or children out

When it may need urgent attention

A fence down on a boundary can be a security or safety issue, especially with pets, children or a pool. Loose panels in windy weather can cause damage, so they're worth securing quickly.

Before you book

• Check which boundary is yours. Title plans don't always show this, so talk to the neighbour if unsure.
• Say whether you want like-for-like repairs or a different style or height.
• Fences over 2 metres (or 1 metre next to a road) usually need planning permission.

Qualifications and safety

Digging new post holes can hit buried cables or pipes, so a good fencer will check before digging.
