Fencing and Gates for Droitwich Spa Gardens, Old and New
Boundaries tell you a lot about a property. Around period homes in Droitwich Spa the fence often sits alongside mature hedges, while the compact gardens of modern estates rely on fencing for privacy because there is so little room between neighbours.




We fit timber and composite fencing and gates, and repair existing runs, across Droitwich Spa, Ombersley, Fernhill Heath, Wychbold and Crowle.
Choosing for the type of home
Older properties usually suit traditional materials, so timber panels or close-boarded fencing in a natural finish tend to blend with established planting. Newer homes can carry a more contemporary look, and composite boards or neat horizontal slats give a clean, uniform line.
Fence posts take the strain, and they are where most failures start. Whatever the panel, firm, well-set posts on uneven ground make the difference between a fence that lasts and one that leans. Gates deserve the same care, since a sagging gate on soft ground will never close properly, and storm-damaged panels can often be replaced individually.
- Timber: traditional, easy to adjust and repair
- Composite: low upkeep and consistent colour
- Gates: sized and hung to swing clear on uneven ground
- Repairs: replacing posts or panels instead of the whole run
Height, boundaries and your neighbours
Permitted-development heights are generally up to 2 m at the back and sides and up to 1 m next to a highway or footpath, with different rules for listed buildings, conservation areas and some estates, so check with your local council and any covenants. Boundary ownership depends on your title deeds, and a quick word with neighbours helps. Privacy matters most in tight modern gardens, so consider panel height, trellis tops and where the sun falls before committing to a style. We handle the fixing and finishing ourselves, including removing the old panels.
Where a hedge is being replaced or supplemented, we can work out the line with you. Measuring up properly matters on sloping or uneven plots, where panels have to step down in stages. A free site visit lets us measure up and talk through the options.

Fencing in Droitwich Spa: common questions
Can you fit a fence alongside an old hedge in Droitwich Spa?
Often, yes. The fence line is set to avoid damaging the hedge roots where possible, or the hedge is cut back first. Ownership of the boundary should be confirmed before work begins.
Is composite fencing worth considering on a new-build estate?
It suits compact modern gardens where you want a tidy, consistent look with little upkeep. Timber remains a good choice if you prefer a natural appearance or may want to repaint later.
