Homes in Dunbartonshire
Clydebank was heavily rebuilt after wartime bombing and has tenements and post-war estates, while Dumbarton has sandstone tenements and Victorian housing. Bearsden and Milngavie are known for Victorian villas and interwar bungalows, and Kirkintilloch mixes older terraces with post-war semis and newer developments.
The west of Scotland gets frequent heavy rain and wind, so driving-rain exposure is a key consideration for render and pointing.
That mix of housing shapes how we approach new fencing and gates in Clydebank: the age and construction of your home affect the materials, the method and, in the end, the price.

Why homeowners choose us
Common questions
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.
How much will new fencing and gates cost in Clydebank?
As a guide, expect to pay £1,150–£2,900 including VAT for new fencing and gates in Clydebank. That range is adjusted for Scotland, which runs about 4% below the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
Who owns the fence between me and my neighbour?
Fence ownership is usually shown on the title plan or deeds, sometimes with a T mark on the side of the owner. If it is unclear, it may be shared. Even on your own boundary, it is sensible to talk to neighbours before replacing a fence, agree access and confirm the line. We fit the fence on the line you confirm and can face the good side outwards if you wish.
How much does a new fence cost?
About 20m of new panel or closeboard fencing with concrete posts costs £1,150–£2,900, 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.
Do I need planning permission in Clydebank?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Clydebank is in Scotland, so Scotland's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
