Free no-obligation site visit · Fixed written price · No deposit · Fully insured · 20+ years experience
Fencing Specialists Serving Cinderford & Gloucestershire
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 work across Cinderford and the surrounding Forest of Dean — completing driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks projects across GL14 postcodes and into Coleford, Lydney, Newent, Gloucester and the surrounding Forest villages. Spring installation slots are available now. Cinderford is the largest town in the Forest of Dean and has a proud industrial history rooted in coal and iron. This history matters when planning any groundworks or driveway installation: former mining activity across the district means made ground, old waste tips and worked land can be encountered, and careful pre-installation assessment is essential. Sub-base depth and drainage design must account for what's actually below the surface rather than simply following a standard specification. We survey every site thoroughly before agreeing any scope of work or price. Forest of Dean District Council follows standard English Permitted Development rules. Cinderford town centre has designated Conservation Areas where material choices should be sympathetic to the town's character. Permeable surfaces are a particularly sensible choice in the Forest, both for planning and for practical drainage reasons. We advise on all planning matters at your free site visit, with no obligation. We cover all GL14 postcodes and work regularly in Coleford, Lydney, Newent, Newnham, Mitcheldean, Drybrook, Ruardean, Blakeney and Gloucester. 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 includes a written guarantee.

Planning Permission in Cinderford
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 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.
