Fencing in Stroud

Fencing Specialists Serving Stroud & 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 regularly across Stroud and the Five Valleys — completing driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks projects across GL5 and GL6 postcodes and into the wider Cotswold fringe. Spring installation slots are now available for April and May — get in touch to book your free site visit. Stroud's distinctive valley topography creates genuinely varied ground conditions. Properties on the valley floors — particularly in Stroud town, Brimscombe and Thrupp — sit on alluvial clay that retains moisture and requires careful sub-base preparation to prevent settlement. On the Cotswold escarpment and hilltop villages — Bisley, Minchinhampton, Rodborough, Nailsworth plateau — ground is typically better-draining limestone or freestone, though tree root zones and narrow access are common considerations. In the Slad, Painswick and Toadsmoor valleys, gradients and drainage design need particular thought. We survey every site individually before agreeing any scope of work. Stroud District Council follows standard national Permitted Development rules. Permeable surfaces are generally planning-free; impermeable surfaces over 5m² in front gardens require consent if they drain to the highway. Stroud town and many of the hilltop villages — Painswick, Minchinhampton, Bisley, Nailsworth — have Conservation Area designations where materials need to be appropriate to the local character. We advise on all of this clearly at your free site visit. We cover all GL5 and GL6 postcodes and work regularly in Nailsworth, Stonehouse, Dursley, Painswick, Minchinhampton, Bisley, Chalford, Brimscombe, Thrupp, Cirencester and across the Cotswold villages. All quotations are fixed in writing before any work begins. No deposit required until we start on site. We carry £5 million public liability insurance. All work includes a written guarantee.

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.
