Fencing in Dunbar

Are you interested in getting fencing installed in Dunbar? By using the Quotatis service you can look at up to 4 fence installers in order to get the top deal available for the job you need.

Fencing is extremely important for all houses no matter whether it's the front or back garden. From repair work to a complete installation of new fencing, employing a reliable contractor is highly advised to get the best price available.

Fences act as a perimeter to our properties and with an installation you'll increase protection to your house and prevent easy access to your back garden. Back garden fences are typically around 6 feet high, which instantly makes it more challenging for intruders to gain entry.

Decorative fencing or wooden picket fencing are usually most suited for the front garden, where security isn't as paramount. Instead, you're more likely to choose a front garden fence specifically for decoration and also to add something different.

For whatever type of fencing you're looking to have installed, be sure to use our totally free and no obligation service to get the best deal available in Dunbar.

    FAQs

    Do I need planning permission for fences?

    Not if they are under 1 metre high if next to a road or 2 metres high elsewhere. It’s always recommended to check with your neighbours and the local authority if you are unsure. Other restrictions may apply, for example if a fence might impact driver visibility on nearby roads.

    How to tell which fence is yours?

    If there’s a fence dividing yours and your neighbour’s properties that needs maintaining or replacing, you’ll want to know who owns it. Start by checking your deeds to see if there’s an existing boundary agreement. If there isn’t, have a chat with them to see if you can come to an arrangement yourselves.

    How close can I build to my neighbour’s fence?

    As a home or property owner, you’re generally allowed to build next to your neighbour’s fence as long as it’s on your own side of the property. With that in mind, there are certain laws that regulate how close a fence can be built to buildings on the same lot or neighbouring lots. In addition, there are also local bylaws that provide limitations on the placements as well as height of fences so as to address safety hazards. In this post, we’re going to give you a good insight into how close you can build to your neighbour. Let’s take a look!

     

    In general, if the fence is in your boundary then you’re allowed to build a 2-metre high brick or wooden fence or wall. However, this may differ depending on your location in the UK. As a result, you may want to reach out to your municipality’s building department in order to determine what these rules and limitations are in your area. In the events whereby there are no such restrictions but you’re still concerned, you can try informing your neighbour what your concerns are. However, if they’re not receptive there are some steps you can take to ensure your plans go as smoothly as possible. These steps include the following:

    • Ensure to leave sufficient space for both the posts and footings
    • Stagger your fence posts in order to make sure you’re not digging your neighbour’s
    • Consider using concrete posts as they’re much stronger and will last a lot longer
    • Use kickers or plinths for raised gardens and flower beds
    • Make use of concrete plinths as they won’t rot over time like a wooden fence.
    How much does fencing cost?

    The most basic fencing starts at about £27 per panel. But if you want something that’s more decorative and better quality, expect to budget £30-£40 per panel.If you choose to get a professional to help you put up your fencing, they’ll probably be able to get your panels at a cheaper rate.
