Fencing and Gates in Pershore: Timber and Composite
In a long, narrow garden, the boundaries are most of what you see. Two fences run the full length of the plot, so their condition and style shape the whole space. Older market town properties often have boundaries that have been repaired in sections, leaning in places and mismatched in others, which is one reason fencing is often the first job in a garden refresh.
TDL fits timber and composite fencing, gates and repairs across Pershore and nearby Kempsey and Drakes Broughton. We set posts firmly, hang gates so they close properly, and tidy the line as we go. Whether you are in Pershore, Kempsey or Drakes Broughton, the approach is the same: look at the ground, agree the line and fit it to last. Gates matter as much as panels, since side entrances on older houses are often narrow and awkward.
Timber, composite and period character
Timber suits most older homes, and a well-made close-boarded or traditional panel looks natural against old brick. Composite needs very little upkeep, so it appeals where you would rather not stain a long run of fence every few years. For a courtyard, a lower, simpler boundary or a feature gate can feel less enclosed than a tall solid fence.
- Timber panels or close-boarded fencing for a traditional look
- Composite fencing where low upkeep matters
- Gates sized and hung for side passages and entrances
- Repairs to leaning posts, damaged panels and storm damage
Boundaries, height and neighbours
A long garden means a long shared boundary, so it is worth talking to neighbours before replacing anything. Who owns a boundary depends on the title deeds. Generally, fences can be up to 2 m high at the back and sides and up to 1 m beside a highway or footpath, but listed buildings, conservation areas and some estates have different rules, so check with your local council.
Posts decide how long a fence lasts, so we check depth, fixing and spacing as carefully as the panels. On the free site visit we measure the run, look at the ground and agree where gates should go before quoting, and we can discuss whether a mix of full-height panels near the house and lower sections further down would suit your garden.

Fencing in Pershore: common questions
Can part of an old fence be replaced?
Often, if the remaining posts are sound. We check each post and panel, replace what has failed and match the new work to the old as closely as we can.
Do I need permission to replace a fence in a period area?
Not always, but conservation areas and listed buildings can have extra rules. Check with your local council before ordering materials.
