Free no-obligation site visit · Fixed written price · No deposit · Fully insured · 20+ years experience
Fencing Specialists Serving Coleford & 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 Coleford and the Forest of Dean — completing driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks projects across GL16 postcodes and into Cinderford, Lydney, Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding Forest villages. Spring installation slots are available now. Coleford is the main market town of the Forest of Dean, set on the sandstone and limestone geology characteristic of the Forest. This generally makes for firmer ground than the clay vale areas to the east — but the Forest of Dean sits over an ancient coalfield and there are pockets of made ground, worked land and former colliery spoil across the district. Properties in village locations such as Mitcheldean, Ruardean, Berry Hill and Christchurch need individual assessment. We survey every site before specifying sub-base depth or agreeing any price. Forest of Dean District Council follows standard English Permitted Development rules. There are several Conservation Areas within the district — including parts of Coleford town centre and a number of historic Forest villages — where material choices may be subject to additional requirements. Permeable surfaces are generally planning-free and are a very practical choice given the Forest's higher rainfall. We advise on all planning matters at your free site visit. We cover all GL16 postcodes and work regularly in Cinderford, Lydney, Newent, Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye, Mitcheldean, Ruardean, Berry Hill, Bream and Parkend. 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 Coleford
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.
