Fencing Harwich — your questions answered
How much does new fencing cost in Harwich?+
Garden fencing in Harwich starts from around £70 per linear metre supplied and fitted — including concrete posts, gravel boards and old fence disposal. A typical 20m back garden run falls between £1,300 and £2,200 depending on panel grade, height and access. Every quote is written, fixed and itemised.
What's better — closeboard or panel fencing in Harwich?+
Closeboard (feather-edge) is heavier, lasts longer and stands up better to Essex/Suffolk wind, but costs more. Lap or overlap panels are quicker to install and cheaper to replace. We fit both and will recommend based on your boundary length, exposure and budget.
How long does a fence take to install in Harwich?+
A standard 15–25m back garden fence in Harwich takes 1–3 working days — longer if there's deep dig-out, gates, or restricted access. We'll confirm a programme in your quote.
How tall can my fence be without planning permission?+
Up to 2m at the back and sides of a garden, and up to 1m where the fence runs next to a road or footpath used by vehicles. Higher than that, or any fence on a listed building or in a conservation area, needs planning. We'll flag anything to watch.
Do you remove the old fence?+
Yes — strip-out, disposal of old posts, panels and concrete spoil is included in every quote. We leave the boundary clean and ready for the new run.
