Fencing in Swindon

Fencing Specialists Serving Swindon & Wiltshire

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 Swindon and the wider Wiltshire area, completing driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks projects across SN postcodes and into the Vale of the White Horse. Spring is our busiest season and April and May installation slots are available now — get your free site visit booked to avoid a wait. Swindon has one of the most varied housing stocks in the South West — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Old Town and central Swindon sit alongside the large post-war estates of Penhill, Park North and Walcot, the newer developments of Shaw Ridge, Oakhurst and Wichelstowe, and the rural villages of the surrounding Wiltshire countryside. Newer estates on the eastern and southern fringes of the city are often built on made ground, where settlement can occur if sub-base preparation is inadequate. Rural Wiltshire properties — particularly those with chalk or greensand subsoil — have excellent natural drainage but require careful compaction to prevent surface movement. We survey every site and specify the appropriate excavation depth and sub-base material for the conditions we find. Swindon Borough Council follows national Permitted Development rules: permeable surfaces are generally exempt from planning permission, while impermeable surfaces over 5m² in front gardens require consent if they drain to the highway. Swindon's flat topography makes drainage design straightforward in most areas, though low-lying parts of the older town can trap surface water — a channel drain or correct surface gradient is sometimes needed. We advise on all of this as part of your free survey. We carry out block paving, tarmac, resin bound driveways, patios, fencing, walling and groundworks across Swindon and regularly work in Royal Wootton Bassett, Highworth, Purton, Cricklade, Marlborough, Devizes, Chippenham, Calne, Corsham, Malmesbury, Faringdon and Shrivenham. All quotations are fixed in writing before work begins — no deposit required until we start. We carry £5 million public liability insurance. All work includes a written guarantee.

Our Work in Swindon

We cover all Swindon postcodes including Old Town, Wroughton, Blunsdon, Royal Wootton Bassett and Purton. Swindon has a high proportion of post-war estate housing where sub-base conditions can vary significantly from one street to the next. We always survey properly before quoting — what looks like a straightforward job on the surface sometimes requires additional groundwork underneath.

Planning Permission in Swindon

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.

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.
