Fencing Installation in Bristol
£1,500–£4,000 for a typical installation · Free no-obligation quote · Fully insured · 10+ years experience
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.
Bristol is our home turf — we've completed hundreds of driveways, patios and fencing projects across the city and surrounding North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. From period terraces in Clifton and Redland to modern estates in Emersons Green and Bradley Stoke, we know the ground conditions, the local planning authority requirements for permeable surfaces in the BS postcode area, and exactly what works for Bristol properties. We cover every corner of the city plus all surrounding areas.

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. 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.

Fencing Questions Answered
How much does fencing cost to install in the UK?+
Fencing typically costs £80–£250 per metre supply and installed, depending on fence type and height. A typical 20-metre back garden using close-board panels at 1.8m high costs £1,800–£3,500. Decorative or hardwood fencing costs more. We include removal of existing fencing and full disposal in our quotes.
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.
