Fencing Neath

There is no single price, because cost depends on the length of fencing, the type you choose, ground conditions and how much of the old fence needs to come out first. Close board fencing costs more than a standard panel fence because it uses more timber and more labour, and concrete fencing has a higher material cost but needs far less upkeep.

Close board fencing is built in place from individual feather-edge boards nailed vertically to horizontal arris rails between posts, giving a strong, fully custom fence with no gaps — it copes better with uneven ground and sloping gardens. Panel fencing uses pre-made panels dropped between posts, which is quicker and more cost-effective to install but slightly less rigid than a built-in-place close board fence.

Both are good options; we talk through which suits your garden and budget when we quote.

As a general rule a fence post needs roughly a third of its total length set into the ground, with a typical minimum hole depth of around 450–600mm for a standard garden fence, more for taller fencing or exposed, windy sites.

We set every post in a concrete footing rather than just compacted soil, because a post that rocks is the single biggest cause of early fence failure — the panel or boards almost always outlast a badly set post.

In most cases, no. Under permitted development rules a fence, wall or gate can usually be put up without planning permission up to 1 metre high next to a road used by vehicles, or up to 2 metres high elsewhere in the garden.

Taller fencing, a listed building, or land covered by a planning condition can change this, so we will tell you if your job needs a look at planning rules before we start.

Often, yes. A snapped panel or a run of rotten boards can usually be replaced section by section if the posts are still sound. It is the posts that decide whether a repair is worthwhile — if a post has rotted at ground level or come loose in its footing, patching the boards around it will not last.

We inspect first and tell you honestly when a proper post replacement is the better option.

Indian sandstone is a genuine riven natural stone, so every slab has its own colour variation and a slightly textured surface — the classic choice for a traditional garden patio. Porcelain paving is a manufactured, ultra-dense material with a completely consistent colour; it is virtually non-porous, so it resists staining, frost damage and algae better than any natural stone.

Both are laid on a properly prepared, compacted sub-base.
