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.
Whatever type of house you own in Bebington, we start by looking at how new fencing and gates would fit it rather than offering a standard package. We cover CH42, CH62 and CH63 and neighbouring places such as Birkenhead, Heswall and Liverpool. One named person looks after you from survey to handover, and nothing is booked until you hold our figure in writing, fixed for the work described.

What are homes like around Bebington?
Liverpool's housing includes Georgian terraces near the centre, large areas of Victorian red-brick terraces, Edwardian semis in the suburbs and big interwar council estates. The Wirral has Victorian villas and interwar semis, Southport has Victorian villas and bungalows, and St Helens and Knowsley have post-war estates and newer housing.
Terraces suit loft rooms, kitchen extensions and repointing, and many need their roofs and windows renewed. Suburban semis commonly take side extensions, driveways and porches.
None of this holds for every street in Bebington, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing new fencing and gates rather than assuming from its age alone.
Permissions for new fencing and gates in Bebington
Homes in Bebington come under the regulations for England, summarised below. We don't rely on general rules alone: we confirm the position for your address with the council before a quote goes out.
In England, fences, walls and gates up to 2 m high are usually permitted development, or up to 1 m where they are next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. Listed buildings, conservation areas and estates with planning conditions can be stricter.
Building Regulations do not apply to ordinary garden fences, but boundary lines should be agreed with your neighbour first.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
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.
Written quote
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for new fencing and gates.
Dates and permissions
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Bebington property.
The work itself
Our trades complete new fencing and gates while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.
Why homeowners choose us
Frequently asked questions
Can you combine new fencing and gates with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan new fencing and gates alongside other work on your Bebington home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
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.
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 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.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
