Garden Fencing in Rushwick: Timber, Composite and Gates
Fences matter more in a village-style plot than in a tight city garden. In Rushwick, the boundary can be long, the neighbours close and the garden used by children, pets and guests, so a sound and private fence is among the first things most owners want right.
We fit timber and composite fencing, hang gates and repair damaged boundaries in Rushwick, Worcester, Powick, Leigh Sinton and Lower Broadheath. Privacy, security and a tidy appearance are the three things most owners want from a boundary.
Choosing between timber and composite
Timber is the traditional choice, and a well-built panel fence with sound posts gives good privacy at a sensible weight of upkeep. Composite takes the staining out of the picture, which suits people who would rather not repaint a long boundary. Both can be paired with gravel boards to keep the bottom edge off wet ground. Panels stand better when posts are set correctly. We dig holes to a suitable depth, fix posts firmly and check them for plumb before fixing the panels, because a fence that leans after a few storms is nearly always a post problem, not a panel problem.
- Closeboard or panel timber for privacy
- Composite for minimal upkeep
- Gravel boards that protect the base
- Side and rear gates fitted to match
Gates, repairs and boundary checks
A side gate is the most-used part of many fences, so it needs strong posts and a latch that works. We fit gates to suit the opening and repair or replace ones that have dropped or rotted. Storm damage can usually be repaired by replacing posts and refitting good panels.
Heights are generally limited to 2 m at the back and sides and 1 m next to a highway, but check with your local council, and talk to neighbours about who owns each boundary. Easy access from Worcester means we can survey the whole boundary in one free site visit.

Fencing in Rushwick: common questions
Who owns the fence between my garden and next door?
Ownership depends on your title deeds, so check those first. It is also sensible to speak to your neighbour before any work, which usually avoids disagreement. A fence on a shared line is worth discussing with the neighbour first.
Can I replace just one panel or a few posts?
Often, yes. If the rest of the fence is sound we can replace individual panels or posts, and match the style so the repair is not obvious. Matching the existing style keeps the boundary looking consistent.
