Fencing in Durham

Are you interested in having fencing installed in Durham? With the Local Quotes service it's possible to look at as many as four fencing installers to get the very best deal available for the work you want.

Fencing is important for all homes no matter whether it's the front or back garden. From restoration work to a complete installation of new fencing, using a respectable contractor is highly recommended to get the very best price available.

Fences work as a boundary to our properties and with an installation you'll add more security to your home and stop easy access to your back garden. Back garden fences are usually close to 6 feet high, which straight away makes it harder for intruders to gain access.

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 decoration and also to add something different.

For whatever kind of fencing you're looking to have installed, make certain to use our free and no obligation service to get the best deal available in Durham.

FAQs

How to tell which fence is yours?

If there’s a fence dividing yours and your neighbour’s properties that needs maintaining or replacing, you’ll want to know who owns it. Start by checking your deeds to see if there’s an existing boundary agreement. If there isn’t, have a chat with them to see if you can come to an arrangement yourselves.

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.
What is the cheapest fence to install?

The cheapest fence to install is, generally, a pressure-treated pine wooden fence at around £20 per linear foot. This includes the materials and labour costs. Wire fencing is technically cheaper at around £5 per foot, but it’s not a great material to use in homes as it looks unsightly and doesn’t provide any privacy.

What do I need to do to maintain my fence?

Properly erected fences shouldn’t require a great deal of maintenance. Any rotting boards can usually be replaced without replacing the whole panel. Timber fencing should be stained every 2-3 years. General maintenance is something you can carry out yourself, however, larger works may need a qualified professional to come in.
