Fencing in Bristol

Fencing Specialists Serving Bristol & City of Bristol

We supply and install all types of garden and boundary fencing — from traditional close-board featherboard privacy fencing to decorative garden panels, post and rail fencing, and automated gates. Every installation is built to last: all posts are set in concrete foundations, arris rails are cut and fixed with galvanised brackets, and we use pressure-treated timber as standard throughout. Gravel boards along the base protect the featherboard panels from ground contact and moisture — significantly extending the life of your fence. We also remove and dispose of all existing fencing before starting, so you don't need to do any preparation yourself. For boundary fencing, we can advise on your legal boundaries and exact post placement. Fully insured, free site survey, fixed price written quotes.

We're based in the Bristol area and have been completing driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks projects across the city and surrounding areas for over a decade — hundreds of satisfied customers across BS postcodes and into South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. Spring is our busiest season and April and May slots are filling quickly, so if you're planning any outdoor work this year, now is the right time to get your free site visit booked. Bristol's ground conditions vary significantly depending on where you are in the city. Properties in central and north Bristol — Clifton, Redland, Henleaze, Bishopston, Westbury-on-Trym — sit largely on deep clay soils that move with seasonal moisture, making correct sub-base specification critical. In east Bristol and South Gloucestershire — Kingswood, Fishponds, Emersons Green, Bradley Stoke — made ground on larger estates can be unpredictable. In North Somerset — Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea, Keynsham — conditions are generally more manageable, though drainage consideration is needed near the coast. We survey every site and specify the right excavation depth and sub-base for what we actually find. Bristol City Council follows national Permitted Development rules: permeable surfaces such as resin bound aggregate and open-jointed block paving are exempt from planning permission regardless of size. Impermeable surfaces over 5m² in front gardens require consent if they drain to the highway. Properties in Conservation Areas — Clifton, Redland, Cotham, Kingsdown — have additional requirements. We advise on all of this at your free site visit, with no obligation to proceed. We carry out block paving, tarmac driveways, resin bound driveways, patios, fencing, garden walling and groundworks across all Bristol postcodes. We regularly work in Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea, Backwell, Yate, Chipping Sodbury, Thornbury, Keynsham, Saltford and Weston-super-Mare. Every quotation is fixed in writing before work begins — no hidden extras, no deposit required until we start on site. We carry £5 million public liability insurance. All work comes with a written guarantee. Call us on 07578 180526 or use the form above for your free, no-obligation site visit.

Planning Permission in Bristol

Fencing up to 2 metres high at the rear and sides of a property, and up to 1 metre at the front, generally does not require planning permission under Permitted Development Rights.

First class service from start to finish. Arrived on time each day, went through what they were doing as they were working. My driveway looks brand new, no weeds coming through 2 weeks later. So impressed with the driveway I had the patio cleaned as well. Will definitely use again.

Josh and his Team have just installed a Resin Drive to my property and their standard of work was excellent and communication skills also excellent. Once they started work they continued until work finished and didn't go from job to job which is what I liked the most. I would recommend Josh and his Team and I will be using them again for further work.

FAQ

Fencing Questions Answered

How much does fencing cost to install in the UK?

Fencing cost depends on the length of the run, the fence type and height, ground conditions and whether existing fencing needs removing. Every job is individually measured and quoted — we include removal of all existing fencing and full disposal in our prices. Book a free site survey for a full fixed written quote.

How do I stop my fence from rotting?

Three things prevent premature fence rot: (1) pressure-treated timber throughout — not just painted; (2) concrete posts rather than timber posts in the ground; (3) gravel boards along the base to keep the featherboard panels off the soil. We use all three on every installation as standard. A fence installed this way will last 15–25 years without significant maintenance.

What is the most popular fence type in the UK?

Close-board (also called featherboard) fencing is the UK's most popular garden fence — overlapping vertical featherboard planks on arris rails give a solid, private screen at a reasonable cost. It looks clean, provides excellent privacy and is available in heights from 1.2m to 2m. For a more decorative look, framed lattice panel fencing or hit-and-miss style panels are increasingly popular.

Do I need planning permission for a 2m fence?

Generally no — fencing up to 2m at the rear and sides of a residential property is permitted development. The exception is at the front of a property facing a highway, where the limit is 1m. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some new-build developments have stricter rules. We advise during your free site survey and ensure your installation complies.

How long does fencing installation take?

Most residential fencing jobs take 1–2 days. A 20–30 metre run of close-board fencing is typically completed in a single day. Larger boundary projects with multiple sections, removal of old fencing and gate installation may take 2–3 days. We give you a specific programme during your free site visit.
