Professional Fence Installation Across Manchester & Cheshire
Secure your garden properly without the neighbour disputes, planning headaches, or fences that blow down after the first storm.
Planning Permission Sorted
Fence height rules catch more homeowners out than you'd think.
Front gardens are limited to 1 metre next to highways, while rear boundaries can go up to 2 metres—but listed buildings and conservation areas have stricter rules still.
We advise on exactly what's permitted at your property before we start, saving you the hassle of dealing with your local council.
Timber or Composite
We install both timber and composite fencing and won't push you towards the more expensive option if it doesn't suit your needs.
Composite costs more upfront but lasts 20-25 years with almost no maintenance.
We'll lay out the real differences and let you decide what works for your budget.
Built to Withstand Manchester Weather
A fence that blows down in the first big storm isn't saving anyone money.
We use concrete posts where exposure demands it, install proper gravel boards to keep timber off the ground, and secure every panel to handle the wind that comes with living in the North West.
Done right, your fence stays standing for years.
Is Your Fence One Storm Away From Coming Down?
A sagging fence panel, a post that's rotted through at the base, or gaps that every fox in the neighbourhood has spotted.
For most homeowners, fencing isn't something they think about until it becomes a problem, usually after a windy weekend leaves half the boundary flattened across the lawn.
No privacy from overlooking neighbours, gaps too wide for pets, or panels that are simply the wrong height for what you need.
Replacing piecemeal just spreads the cost out without actually solving the problem, and DIY attempts often result in wobbly posts and uneven runs that look worse than what was there before.

Complete Fence Installation From Survey to Finish
We install fencing across the full range of materials - timber panels, composite boards, and metal options - and handle everything from removing your old fence through to final finishing.
We work with both timber and composite fencing, and we'll give you a straight comparison of costs, lifespan, and maintenance so you can make the right choice for your garden. If your fence runs along the front of your property or borders a highway, we'll flag up any planning permission requirements before we quote—no nasty surprises later.
Most residential fencing jobs in Manchester take 1-3 days depending on length and material, and we'll give you an accurate timeframe during your site survey.
What's included in our fencing services:
Full site survey covering height restrictions, boundary ownership, and planning requirements
Removal and disposal of old fencing, posts, and concrete footings
Concrete or timber post installation with correct depth and spacing for your chosen material
Gravel boards fitted as standard to protect panel bases from ground moisture
Professional panel or board installation with secure fixings throughout
Gates supplied and fitted where needed, matched to your fence style and material
Fencing Options:
Timber Panels
Lowest upfront cost of all fencing types, easy to repair individual panels, natural look suits most garden styles, wide range of panel designs, lightweight and quick to install, good for sheltered positions.
Composite Fencing
Lifespan of 20-25 years with minimal upkeep, resistant to rot, mould, and insects, colour stays consistent without painting or staining, only needs occasional cleaning with soap and water.
Metal Fencing
Extremely durable and long-lasting (25+ years), very low maintenance, excellent security, strong in high winds, suits commercial and contemporary properties.
The length of the run is the biggest factor, followed by your choice of material and post type. Concrete posts cost more than timber but last significantly longer. Removing old fencing and disposing of concrete footings adds to the overall cost. Difficult access, uneven ground, or gates all increase the price. We break everything down in your quote so you know exactly what each element costs.
OUR PROVEN PROCESS
How We Install Your Fence – Step by Step
Survey & Planning
Kieran visits your property to measure the full run, check boundary ownership, and assess planning permission requirements.
We look at ground conditions, wind exposure, and neighbouring structures to determine the best post type and height for your specific situation.
You'll get a detailed quote that covers everything, no surprises when work begins.
Removal & Post Installation
We remove your old fencing, posts, and concrete footings, disposing of everything properly.
New posts go in at the correct depth for your chosen material, typically 600mm minimum in concrete, with proper spacing to support each panel or board run.
Concrete posts are recommended for exposed positions; timber posts suit more sheltered locations where cost is the priority.
Panels & Boards
Gravel boards go in first, lifting the fence clear of ground moisture and splash. Panels or boards are then fixed securely to the posts with appropriate hardware for the material.
For composite fencing, boards are fixed to aluminium or steel frame systems.
For timber, panels slot or screw into position depending on the post type. Every section is checked for level and secure fixing before we move on.
Gates & Finishing
If you need a gate, whether a single garden gate or a wider vehicle gate, we fit it at this stage, matched to your fence style and material.
We add capping to timber posts to shed water and extend their life, do a final check of the whole run, and clean up the site.
You get care instructions for your specific fence type before we leave.

How high can my fence be without planning permission?
At the rear and sides of your property, you can go up to 2 metres without permission. At the front, or anywhere next to a highway or public footpath, the limit drops to 1 metre. Properties in conservation areas or listed buildings may have additional restrictions. We check all of this during your site survey.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential jobs take 1-3 days depending on the length of the run and material chosen. A 20-metre timber fence typically takes a day, while a longer composite run might take two or three. We'll give you an accurate estimate during your survey so you can plan accordingly.
Is composite fencing worth the extra cost?
It depends on how long you plan to stay in your home. If you're there long-term, composite usually works out cheaper over its lifetime because it needs no painting, staining, or replacing. If you're moving within five years, timber at a lower upfront cost makes more sense. We'll walk you through the numbers for your specific run length.
Who is responsible for the fence between two gardens?
This is usually set out in your property deeds or title plans. As a rough guide, the boundary on the left side of your property (as viewed from the street) is typically your responsibility, but this isn't a legal rule. We can help you identify which fences are yours during the survey.
Can you replace just a few panels, or do I need to replace the whole fence?
If your posts are still sound and the run is structurally solid, we can absolutely replace individual panels. We'll assess the existing posts and structure during the survey and let you know what's realistic. No point replacing everything if half of it is still good.
What happens if my fence blows down in a storm?
A fence blowing down usually means the posts weren't deep enough or the panels weren't secured properly. We install posts to the correct depth for your material and exposure, and fix panels securely throughout. If a storm does cause damage after installation, give us a call and we'll assess what needs doing.
Do I need to tell my neighbour before putting up a fence?
It's always good practice to speak to your neighbours before installing or replacing a fence, especially if it affects a shared boundary. While there's no legal requirement to get their permission on your own land, it avoids disputes and keeps things neighbourly. We can advise on the best approach if you're unsure.
Can you install fencing on sloping ground?
Yes, sloping ground is actually quite common in Manchester gardens. We step the panels up or down to follow the gradient, which may mean some panels need cutting to fit. The posts still go in at the correct depth regardless of slope, and we make sure there are no gaps along the bottom where animals could get through.
When can you get started?
We are generally booked out for around 4-6 weeks but with fencing jobs generally taking less time than other projects, we may be able to fit you into our schedule earlier.
