1. Do I need planning permission to build a new fence or boundary wall?
It depends on the height and location. Generally, in the UK, you do not need permission if the fence or wall is under 2 meters high (or under 1 meter if it is adjacent to a highway). However, strict rules apply if you live in a conservation area or a listed building. We will assess your specific situation and advise you before any work begins.
2. What materials do you recommend for a low-maintenance, long-lasting boundary?
For traditional aesthetics with maximum longevity, we use premium pressure-treated timber. If you want zero maintenance, we highly recommend modern composite fencing or powder-coated aluminum. For the ultimate robust boundary, our expertly laid brick or blockwork walls offer unmatched durability and structural integrity.
3. Can you install fencing or build walls on uneven or severely sloping ground?
Yes, absolutely. Sloping terrain requires specialized techniques. We can either "step" the fence panels or brickwork for a structured look, or custom-cut the materials to smoothly follow the natural contour of your land, ensuring a secure, continuous, and visually pleasing boundary regardless of the terrain.
