Timber and Composite Fencing, Gates and Repairs in Hanley Swan

We supply and fit timber and composite fencing, gates and repairs for homes in Hanley Swan, Upton-upon-Severn, Hanley Castle, Great Malvern and Malvern Link. Cottages and larger family houses each have different needs, and the fence should respect both.

Fencing in keeping with the property

On a front boundary, something low and traditional such as picket or post and rail often suits a cottage better than a tall solid panel. At the back, privacy may matter more, and close-boarded or lapped panels do that well. Composite is an option where you want a long-lasting, low-upkeep fence in a muted tone.

Posts matter as much as panels. Concrete posts last well, timber posts suit a traditional look, and metal post supports keep timber out of the ground. Fixing to the right depth keeps long runs straight along a lane and stops them leaning in the wind.

Gates, heights and repairs

Gates are the part of a boundary used every day, so they need good posts, solid hinges and a latch that works. A gate across a long drive can be a single wide leaf or a pair, depending on the space and how it will be used.

Fence heights follow general rules: up to 2 m at the back and sides and up to 1 m beside a highway or footpath, with different rules for listed buildings and conservation areas, so check with your local council. Boundary ownership depends on your title deeds, so speak to your neighbours too. Repairs to leaning posts or blown panels are common after storms and can often avoid a full replacement. Our free site visit covers all of this.
