Fencing and Gates in Hartlebury: Timber and Composite

We supply and fit timber and composite fencing, gates and repairs for homes in Hartlebury, Stourport-on-Severn, Ombersley and Holt Heath. Fencing is installed with posts set properly and panels fixed to suit the ground, whether the line is flat or falls away.

Choosing fencing for long boundaries

Timber is the traditional choice and works well in a village setting. It can be stained to suit the garden and repaired panel by panel. Composite needs little treatment and keeps its look. On a long boundary the difference in upkeep adds up, so it is worth deciding how much maintenance you want to take on.

Ground levels change along a long boundary, so panels may need stepping or posts cut to suit. A fence that follows the land neatly looks far better than one forced into a straight line that leaves gaps beneath it, and gravel boards help keep those gaps closed.

• Close-boarded or lap panels for privacy and strength
• Composite panels for low upkeep
• Post and rail for open boundaries and animals
• Gravel boards to protect timber from damp ground

Gates, heights and repairs

A gate is only as good as the posts it hangs from, and on a village plot it may be used daily by cars, people and deliveries. We fit gates with sturdy posts and hinges so they swing true and close properly. Driveway gates need extra thought about width and the way they open.

Fence height rules apply: 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. Check with your local council before building tall. Boundary ownership depends on your title deeds, so talk to neighbours first. We can also repair leaning posts and broken panels instead of replacing the lot, and we assess that on the free site visit.
