Interested in having fencing installed in Harpenden? With the Quotatis service you'll be able to check up to four fence installers to get the top deal available for the job you need.

Fencing is extremely important for all homes whether it's the front or back garden. From repair work to a total installation of new fencing, employing a respected company is highly recommended to get the very best price available.

Fences work as a boundary to our homes and with an installation you'll increase protection to your home and prevent easy access to your back garden. Back garden fences are typically close to 6 feet high, which straight away will make it more challenging for intruders to gain entry.

Decorative fences or wooden picket fencing will often be most appropriate for the front garden, where security isn't as paramount. Instead, you're more likely to select a front garden fence specifically for design and to add something different.

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

    FAQs

    How do I find out who owns a fence?

    Speaking to the owners of the neighbouring properties is recommended. If you are still unsure, you may need to check the original deeds to the property. Generally the rule is that you are responsible for the fence at the right hand side of your property.

    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 to build a fence?

    The best way to build a fence depends on what style it is, as different types have different components. However, fencing made up of posts and panels is pretty common. To put this up, you’ll need to start by measuring out and digging holes for your fence posts. Then you’ll need to fit the panels between them and use concrete to secure the posts in the ground.

    Do I need to tell my neighbours if I’m going to replace my fence?

    It’s a good idea to talk to your neighbours before you start any work to avoid confusion along the way. But if the fence is definitely your responsibility and on your property, there’s no legal obligation to notify them. It’s also a myth that you need to erect a fence with the flush side without posts facing your neighbour’s property.
