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.
Every house in Evesham is a little different, so we never price new fencing and gates from a brochure. We look at the structure, access and existing finishes first, then put in writing a fixed figure for the scope we settle on. As a rough steer, homeowners in the West Midlands should budget £1,200–£2,900 including VAT, with work typically taking 1–3 days for a typical garden.

Homes in Worcestershire
Worcester has Georgian and Victorian streets and interwar suburbs, black-and-white timber framing survives in many villages, and Malvern has Victorian villas, some built in Malvern stone. Redditch was expanded as a new town from the 1960s, Kidderminster has carpet-era terraces, and Bromsgrove and Evesham mix older centres with newer estates.
The Severn and Teme flood regularly, and the Malvern Hills are more exposed to wind and rain than the Vale of Evesham.
Building traditions across Worcestershire also raise conservation and planning questions, so we check those for new fencing and gates in Evesham at the survey stage.
Do you need permission in Evesham?
Evesham is in England, 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 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.

What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
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 much will new fencing and gates cost in Evesham?
As a guide, expect to pay £1,200–£2,900 including VAT for new fencing and gates in Evesham. That range is adjusted for the West Midlands, which runs about 2% 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.
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from new fencing and gates, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
Are concrete posts better than timber?
Concrete posts do not rot and are the most durable choice for panel fences, especially on exposed sites. They are heavier and more utilitarian in appearance. Timber posts look more natural and suit closeboard and featheredge fences, but they eventually rot at ground level, even when treated. Aluminium posts suit composite systems. We recommend posts based on your fence style and exposure.
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.
