Coastal weather, hills and flint walls
From Kemptown to Hove, many houses have small, walled gardens where the original boundaries are flint or a local rubble-and-lime mix sometimes called bungaroosh. These walls are best left to specialists, but timber fencing or trellis above them is a common way to add privacy.
On the hills around Hollingdean, Moulsecoomb and Patcham, gardens can slope steeply and catch the wind. Slatted and hit-and-miss fences, which let some wind pass through, often last better here than solid panels. Stainless or galvanised fixings are well worth the extra few pounds near the sea.
Brighton gardens have to put up with a lot: salt air, gusty south-westerlies and, in many cases, steep hillside plots. A fence that would last twenty years inland can look tired after a handful of winters on the seafront.
We can help you find fencing contractors in Brighton and Hove who understand what works by the coast – whether you need a whole new boundary, a replacement panel or a secure gate for a twitten-side garden.

What local fencing contractors in Brighton can do
Before you build: the rules in England
You won't normally need planning permission in England for a fence of up to 2 metres, or 1 metre alongside a road used by vehicles, unless the property is listed or permitted development rights have been removed. More on fence height and boundaries.
Why fencing quotes vary around Brighton
Beyond the style and length of fence, a few things specific to Brighton can push a quote up or down:
- Exposure: more robust posts and fixings are needed on windy, coastal sites.
- Access: steps and narrow passages on Brighton's hills slow down material handling.
- Parking: permit zones cover much of the city, which contractors factor into their prices.

Questions about fencing in Brighton
Which fence lasts best near the sea in Brighton?
A fence with concrete or heavy timber posts, galvanised or stainless fixings, and a design that lets some wind through generally lasts longest. Regular treatment of timber makes a big difference in salty air.
Can I build a fence on top of my garden wall?
Sometimes, but the wall must be strong enough to take the extra wind load, and the total height usually needs to stay within 2 metres to avoid planning permission. A contractor can advise whether freestanding posts behind the wall would be better.
