Fencing in Alton

Are you considering getting fencing installed in Alton? By using the Local Quotes service you're able to check up to 4 fence contractors in order to get the very best deal available for the task you want.

Fencing is really important for all homes whether it is the front or back garden. From restoration work to a full installation of new fencing, employing a trustworthy company is highly encouraged to get the best price available.

Fences work as a perimeter to our households and with an installation you'll increase security to your house and prevent easy access to your back garden. Back garden fences are traditionally close to six feet high, which right away will make it more difficult for intruders to gain entry.

Decorative fences or wooden picket fencing tend to be most suited for the front garden, where security isn't as important. Instead, you're more likely to choose a front garden fence particularly for design and to add something different.

For whatever kind of fencing you're looking to have installed, be sure to use our totally free and no obligation service to get the best deal available in Alton.

Alton

Alton is a market town and civil parish in the East Hampshire district of the English county of Hampshire. It is situated across a valley around the source of the River Wey. The town is situated 9 miles from Farnham and 16 miles from Winchester, with London about 52 miles away. Brockham Hill is the highest point of Alton, at 225 metres above sea level. As per the 2011 Census, the town had a population of 17,816. Named in the Domesday Book in 1086 as having a notable industry, the Saturday market stayed active for hundreds of years. Yet another crucial part of the town's local economy was the manufacturing of paper and of dress components during the 18th century, which included the production of ribbed druggets, shallons, silks and serges, bombazine and figured barragons. Alton currently has businesses in the retail and service sectors, which are usually located inside the centre of the town, and you can find greater than one hundred businesses within the 4 industrial places of Mill Lane, Newman Lane, Caker Stream and Omega Park. There's a selection of independent and industrial chain businesses for residents to select from, like a greengrocers, butchers, hardware shop, 5 supermarkets in addition to a variety of pubs and restaurants. The town is most famously recognised for its association with Sweet Fanny Adams. This was an eight-year-old girl murdered inside the town by a solicitor's clerk, who was on the list of last criminals to be executed in Winchester. The murder happened simultaneously to the introduction of tinned meat within the Royal Navy, with the sailors dissatisfied with the new meals, suggesting that it contained the remains of 'Sweet Fanny Adams'. For all your property upgrades, ensure that that you employ trustworthy specialists in Alton to ensure you get the best quality work.

    FAQs

    Do I need planning permission for fences?

    Not if they are under 1 metre high if next to a road or 2 metres high elsewhere. It’s always recommended to check with your neighbours and the local authority if you are unsure. Other restrictions may apply, for example if a fence might impact driver visibility on nearby roads.

    Fence ownership: who owns that garden fence?

    When it comes to fence ownership and responsibility, this is often a subject of dispute between neighbours and understandably so. Owning a fence comes with a number of responsibilities such as arranging and paying for the maintenance and more. Therefore, if you’re not yet sure who owns the garden fence, then you’d probably want to have that sorted to make sure your property stays protected at all times. In this post, we’re going to give you an insight into some of the rules guiding fence ownership in order to help you make informed decisions. Let’s take a look!

     

    There’s no rule of thumb on whether you own the fence on the right hand or the left hand side of your property. Therefore, if you’ve heard any “rules that states otherwise, you can fling that out the window because not everyone will own the left hand side to their fence. The first way to determine who owns the garden fence or which side of the fence you’re responsible for is simply by looking. Although this is not guaranteed or a definite way to determine ownership, it can go a long way to give you a good idea. As you would have expected, fences are most likely built on the land that belongs to the boundary’s owner with the further edge of the fence making the actual boundary. As a result, you can determine a fence ownership simply by identifying where the frames are.

    Also, you can determine fence ownership using the title deeds for an official and accurate answer. A copy should be given alongside your paperwork which is received when purchasing your house.

    How close can I build to my neighbour’s fence?

    As a home or property owner, you’re generally allowed to build next to your neighbour’s fence as long as it’s on your own side of the property. With that in mind, there are certain laws that regulate how close a fence can be built to buildings on the same lot or neighbouring lots. In addition, there are also local bylaws that provide limitations on the placements as well as height of fences so as to address safety hazards. In this post, we’re going to give you a good insight into how close you can build to your neighbour. Let’s take a look!

     

    In general, if the fence is in your boundary then you’re allowed to build a 2-metre high brick or wooden fence or wall. However, this may differ depending on your location in the UK. As a result, you may want to reach out to your municipality’s building department in order to determine what these rules and limitations are in your area. In the events whereby there are no such restrictions but you’re still concerned, you can try informing your neighbour what your concerns are. However, if they’re not receptive there are some steps you can take to ensure your plans go as smoothly as possible. These steps include the following:

    • Ensure to leave sufficient space for both the posts and footings
    • Stagger your fence posts in order to make sure you’re not digging your neighbour’s
    • Consider using concrete posts as they’re much stronger and will last a lot longer
    • Use kickers or plinths for raised gardens and flower beds
    • Make use of concrete plinths as they won’t rot over time like a wooden fence.
    How do I find out who owns a fence?

    Speaking to the owners of the neighbouring properties is recommended. If you are still unsure, you may need to check the original deeds to the property. Generally the rule is that you are responsible for the fence at the right hand side of your property.
