Fencing installation is setting fence posts into the ground, usually in concrete, and fixing panels or boards between them to mark a boundary, add privacy or keep children and pets in, with gates fitted where access is needed.
In Clwyd, we price new fencing and gates against our guide for Wales, £1,100–£2,800 including VAT, then adjust it once we have surveyed your home. We work across Wrexham, Buckley, Deeside and Colwyn Bay and the rest of the county or region. Planning and building control requirements follow the rules for Wales, and we look into your property's position before a written quote is sent.

Homes in Clwyd
Wrexham has Victorian terraces in red Ruabon brick, alongside interwar and post-war estates. The north coast resorts of Rhyl, Prestatyn and Colwyn Bay have Victorian villas, guest-house terraces and bungalows, while Denbighshire and Flintshire villages use local stone under Welsh slate roofs.
Terraces suit loft conversions and rear extensions, and many need repointing and roof work. Coastal bungalows commonly take loft rooms and window renewal, and stone cottages need lime-based repairs.
The north Wales coast is exposed to wind and salt from the Irish Sea, and the Clwydian hills inland are wetter and colder.
Planning and building rules in Clwyd
Clwyd is in Wales, so the planning and building rules set out below are the ones that apply. We confirm the details with the council before we quote.
In Wales, fences, walls and gates up to 2 m high (1 m next to a road) are usually permitted development.
Building Regulations do not apply to ordinary fences.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?

The work itself
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.
What you can expect from us
Questions about new fencing and gates in Clwyd
How high can my fence be?
Fence height limits depend on planning rules, your home's location, whether it is listed or in a conservation area, and which UK nation you live in. In England, fences up to 2m high are usually permitted development, reduced to 1m next to a road used by vehicles. Higher fences need planning permission. We check the rules for your boundary before quoting.
What kind of gate do I need?
The right gate depends on its job. A side gate for access to the back garden is usually timber or metal, around 0.9m to 1m wide, with a secure lock. Driveway gates are wider, often in pairs, and need strong posts. Composite and metal gates resist warping. We measure the opening, check posts and suggest hinges, latches and locks for security.
Which postcodes in Clwyd do you cover?
We cover LL11, CH7, CH5 and LL28, along with the rest of Clwyd. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
How much does a new fence cost?
About 20m of new panel or closeboard fencing with concrete posts costs £1,100–£2,800, including removal of the old fence. As a guide, allow roughly £55–£130 per metre plus a small fixed cost for removal and waste. Lap panels sit at the lower end, while closeboard, slatted and composite fencing cost more. Gates, slopes and hard ground add to the price. We confirm a fixed price after measuring.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
