Professional Fencing Contractors Northwood

Northwood fencing costs depend on the total length, height and style, the post type, and how much old fencing or overgrown hedging we clear. Long side boundaries and sloping plots add labour, and hand digging near protected trees takes extra time. Period-style gates and trellis are priced individually. Every quote is fixed and written after a free survey, so the price is agreed before work begins. To book your free survey, call 01923 605325.

It depends on where you are. In the Northwood Frithwood conservation area, and on the Copse Wood Estate, Hillingdon Council expects front boundaries to respect the green, open character of the roads, so a new or taller front fence may need consent. Like-for-like replacement is often fine. If protected trees stand near the line, we plan the work to avoid damaging their roots.

Start with what the fence needs to do: privacy, security, keeping pets in or simply marking a boundary. Closeboard suits privacy and exposed gardens, panels are quick and cost-effective, and picket or post and rail suit front gardens. We bring samples to the free survey and recommend what will last best on your plot.

Usually not. Fences up to 2 metres high are normally permitted development, or up to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some estates have extra rules, so we check before we start.

Check your title plan and deeds. A T mark on the plan points to the side you are responsible for. If the deeds are silent, ownership is often shared or unclear, so talk to your neighbour before replacing a shared boundary fence.

Not without your permission. If the fence is yours, your neighbour should ask before fixing trellis, plants or anything else to it. A friendly conversation before work starts avoids most boundary disputes.

Yes. We replace broken panels, rails, gravel boards and leaning posts, and we can swap rotten timber posts for concrete ones while keeping the rest of a sound fence.
