Fencing, Boundary Repairs and Gates in Ombersley
In a village with as much character as Ombersley, a boundary has a visual job as well as a practical one. Plots here can be generous, with hedging and boundary fencing that need to suit the look of the village, so the fence you choose should sit comfortably beside what is already there.
TDL fits and repairs timber and composite fencing and gates for homes in Ombersley, Hallow, Hartlebury, Holt Heath and nearby. The posts, panels and gates are installed by the same team that handles the groundwork, so the line is straight and firmly set. On a generous plot, the boundary can be long, and a consistent standard from one end to the other is what makes it look right.
Fencing that suits the village
Timber is the natural match for a village setting, whether as closeboard, featheredge or more traditional styles such as post and rail. Composite panels offer very low upkeep for those who would rather not stain and treat every year, and they hold their colour well. Fencing can also work alongside hedging, with a fence supporting a newly planted hedge or filling gaps in an old one.
Permitted-development fence 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.
- Closeboard and featheredge timber fencing
- Post and rail for open boundaries
- Composite panels for minimal upkeep
- Gates to match, from pedestrian to driveway
Gates, repairs and long boundaries
A long drive often ends in a gate, and that gate takes a lot of use. Posts need to be sturdy and the ground around them firm so the gate hangs true. Storm damage and age take their toll on older runs too, and many can be repaired by replacing posts or panels instead of the whole fence.
Boundary ownership depends on your title deeds, so talk to neighbours before replacing a shared fence. We can look at your boundary on a free site visit and advise whether to repair or replace.

Fencing in Ombersley: common questions
Can a fence be combined with an existing hedge?
Yes, it is a common arrangement. A fence can support new planting or fill gaps, and it can sit inside or beside the hedge depending on where the boundary lies. Taking the time to agree this with your neighbour avoids arguments later.
Do I need permission to replace a fence in a conservation area?
Rules can be stricter in conservation areas and for listed buildings, and some estates have their own restrictions. Check with your local council before starting work, and keep any written confirmation.
