Fencing Specialists Serving Cardiff & Cardiff
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 cover Cardiff and the surrounding Vale of Glamorgan area for driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks — completing projects across CF postcodes for customers in Roath, Canton, Llandaff, Whitchurch, Pontcanna, Cyncoed, Rhiwbina and across to Penarth, Barry and Dinas Powys. Spring installation slots are available now — April and May are our busiest months, so book your free site visit early to secure your date. Cardiff's ground conditions vary considerably by location. Much of the city centre and inner suburbs sits on Triassic Mercia Mudstone — a heavy clay that moves with seasonal moisture changes and needs careful sub-base specification. In newer development areas like St Mellons, Pontprennau and Lisvane, made ground can be variable. Coastal areas near the Bay and Grangetown are subject to higher water table conditions that influence drainage design. We survey every site individually and specify the right excavation depth and sub-base for what we actually find — there's no one-size-fits-all approach with Cardiff ground conditions. Cardiff Council follows the same Permitted Development rules as England for most surface types: permeable surfaces such as resin bound aggregate and open-jointed block paving don't require planning permission regardless of area. Impermeable surfaces over 5m² in the front garden do require consent if they don't drain to a soakaway. Properties in Conservation Areas — Pontcanna, Cathedral Road, Roath Park — have additional guidance. We advise on all planning matters at your free site visit. We carry out block paving, tarmac driveways, resin bound driveways, patios, fencing, garden walling and groundworks across Cardiff and South Wales, regularly working in Penarth, Barry, Cowbridge, Bridgend, Pontypridd and Caerphilly. All quotations are fixed in writing before work begins. No deposit required until we start on site. We carry £5 million public liability insurance. All work comes with a written guarantee.

Planning Permission in Cardiff
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. Fencing in conservation areas, adjacent to listed buildings, or on corner plots may have different restrictions. We advise on all planning matters and exact boundary positions during your free site survey.
What Customers Say About Our Fencing
“Great job by Josh and his team, hard working and fast, no deposit asked for and payment after completion.”
Ken Hayward

“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.”
Mr Chiddy

“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.”

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.
