Frequently Asked Questions
The most important reason for installing fencing on your property is security. Fencing protects your valuables and more importantly protects you and your family. A fence acts as a deterrent for trespassers and intruders and keeps unwanted wild animals off your property as well.
Erecting or adding to a fence, gate, or wall
If your property is a flat, you must apply for full planning permission. If your property is a house, you must apply for householder planning permission. That is if any of the below apply: it would be over 1m high and next to a highway used by vehicles.
Depending on the material you choose, fences cost £15 to £60 per linear foot installed — or £10 to £35 per linear foot for materials and £10 to £20 per linear foot for labor. If you’re installing the fence in a particularly rocky or hilly area, labor costs may be higher.
The laws actually state that a fence can be as high as 100 meters. However, this is only allowed if proper planning permits have been obtained. This means that any fence under 2 meters in height does not require a permit. This simple law has a few complications to it.
It depends on the size of the job, but most fences can be installed in one to three days. There is no reason to have to wait days or weeks between when the fence posts are installed, and when the rails, gates, and the rest of the job is completed.
With proper maintenance, your fence should be expected to last anywhere between 10 to 50 years, depending on the material. If your fence is older than you are, it’s probably time for a new one! Damage isn’t the only reason to replace your fence.
