How Long Does Fencing Take?
Fencing installation typically takes from two to five days, depending on the project size and the fencing type selected. Metal and composite materials can extend the timeline slightly due to their installation complexity.
Timber fences, such as those using featheredge or waney edge panels, generally require less time as they are easier to work with. Proper planning and material availability also influence the total time, ensuring that quality is never compromised.
For residential properties, garden fencing using treated wood or vinyl often progresses quickly, subject to the foundation preparation and weather conditions. Commercial projects involving security or noise-reduction fencing, like palisade or acoustic barriers, might take longer due to the need for precise alignment and additional supports.
Compliance with local regulations and securing necessary permits may also impact the timeframe. We ensure efficient service while adhering to all relevant standards and providing clear communication throughout the process.

How Much Does Fencing Cost?
Fencing typically costs between £25 to £100 per metre, depending on the material and design chosen. Timber fencing tends to be on the lower end of the scale, with options like pine and cedar offering affordability, while metal and composite options such as aluminium and steel are higher due to their durability and maintenance needs.
Other factors influencing cost include the complexity of the terrain, installation accessibility, and custom design requirements, such as lattice-topped panels or decorative finials.
Additionally, labour charges can vary depending on the complexity of the installation process, requiring specialised tools like post hole diggers and concrete mixers for secure post setting. The time of year can also impact pricing, with costs potentially rising during peak construction periods due to increased demand.
Understanding these elements can help you make a more informed choice for your fencing project.
What Are the Benefits of Fencing?
Fencing offers numerous advantages that make it an essential addition to properties.
Increased Privacy: Keeps your outdoor activities discreet. This is particularly useful for suburban homes where gardens are close together. Materials like wooden panels or vinyl are commonly used, with heights typically ranging from 1.8 to 2.4 metres.
Enhanced Security: Deters potential trespassers or burglars. For added security, we often recommend steel or wrought iron options, which conform to the British Standard BS EN 1176 for strength and durability.
Property Value Boost: An attractive fence can improve aesthetics and property appeal. Well-constructed fences of premium materials usually offer a good return on investment by increasing curb appeal and perceived value.
