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.
We take on new fencing and gates throughout Hawarden and the surrounding CH5 postcodes, as well as in Deeside, Buckley and Chester. The guide range for this work in Wales is £1,100–£2,800 including VAT; where your project falls depends on its size, the materials you pick and how easy the site is to reach. A free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.

Building in Hawarden
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.
That variety is why a guide price for new fencing and gates in Hawarden is only a starting point; the survey shows what your particular property needs.
Do you need permission in Hawarden?
Because Hawarden falls under Wales's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
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?
We look at the job
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for new fencing and gates, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Quote in writing
We put everything into a written, fixed-price quote: the specification, what's excluded, staged payments and the expected time on site. Take whatever time you need to decide; there's no pressure to commit.
Plan and prepare
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
Build and hand over
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.

Questions about new fencing and gates in Hawarden
How do you fence a sloping garden?
On a sloping garden, fence panels are usually stepped, so each panel is level and set slightly higher or lower than the one before, with the gap below filled by a gravel board. Closeboard fences can instead follow the slope, giving a smooth top line. The choice depends on how steep the slope is and the look you want. We discuss both at the survey.
How long will new fencing and gates take?
On a typical home, allow 1–3 days for a typical garden. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
Do you cover Deeside, Buckley and Chester?
Yes. As well as Hawarden, we cover Deeside, Buckley and Chester and the rest of Clwyd. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
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.
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.
