Homes in Dyfed
Dyfed covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Stone cottages and farmhouses under slate roofs are common, often rendered or colour-washed, as in Tenby's brightly painted terraces. Llanelli has Victorian industrial terraces, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen have Georgian and Victorian centres, and bungalows and newer estates surround most towns.
Atlantic weather brings strong winds, driving rain and salt to the coast, so exposure ratings matter when specifying render and pointing.
In Llanelli, as elsewhere in Dyfed, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in new fencing and gates.
Planning and building rules in Llanelli
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Llanelli comes under Wales, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
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
First, someone visits your home in Llanelli to see the space, take measurements and note anything that could affect the work, such as access or the condition of what is there. There is no charge for this visit.
Price and scope agreed
We turn the survey notes into a written quote. The price is fixed for the specification we agree, and the document sets out materials, scope and payment stages in plain language.
Dates and permissions
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
On site to finish
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.
Why homeowners choose us
Frequently asked 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 Llanelli?
As a guide, expect to pay £1,100–£2,800 including VAT for new fencing and gates in Llanelli. That range is adjusted for Wales, which runs about 8% 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.
Which postcodes in Llanelli do you cover?
We cover SA15, along with the rest of Dyfed. 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.
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.
