Fencing and Gates in Malvern Link: Timber and Composite
In a Malvern Link rear garden, the fence does a lot of work. With terraces, semis and newer houses close together, it is what gives you privacy, keeps children and pets in, and frames the lawn or patio. In older terraces the existing boundary is often leaning, patched or a mix of different styles.
A fence line that gives privacy is part of making a smaller rear garden work. We fit timber and composite fencing, gates and repairs, for Malvern Link and nearby Great Malvern, Leigh Sinton and Rushwick.
Timber, composite and where each makes sense
Timber panels are the familiar choice and are straightforward to repair panel by panel. Composite takes more thought at the planning stage but resists rot and needs less treatment over the years.
On any fence, the posts matter most. We set them firmly and at the right depth, because a good panel on a loose post will still lean after the first gale.
- Closeboard and lap panels for privacy
- Composite panels where low upkeep is the priority
- Gravel boards to keep timber off damp ground
- Gates matched to the fence, hung on solid posts
Boundaries, height and repairs
Fences are generally permitted 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. Who owns a boundary depends on your title deeds, and it is worth speaking to your neighbours before work starts.
If a storm has damaged a run of fence, we repair or replace panels and posts, and the free site visit lets us see which sections can be saved. Where fencing runs alongside a terrace side return, we keep the opening wide enough for bins and access.

Fencing in Malvern Link: common questions
How high can I build a fence at the back of a Malvern Link house?
Generally up to 2 m at the back and sides, and up to 1 m next to a highway or footpath. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some estates have different rules, so check with your local council.
Can you repair one panel without replacing the whole fence?
Usually, if the posts are sound. If the posts have rotted or loosened, replacing them is worth doing at the same time. Gates are the other weak point, since sagging hinges usually point to a post that has moved.
