Fence installation, repairs and gates in Canterbury
Historic streets, student lets and seaside gardens
Much of central Canterbury is a conservation area, and some streets have strong character where traditional materials are expected. Rear gardens are generally less restricted, but front boundaries should respect the look of the street.
Canterbury also has many student and rental properties. Landlords often want robust, low-maintenance fencing that will not need attention every year. On the coast, in Whitstable and Herne Bay, exposure to the wind off the Thames estuary and the North Sea makes strong posts essential.

Pricing a fence in Canterbury: the local factors
Two quotes for the same fence in Canterbury can differ more than you'd expect. It usually comes down to things like these:
- Exposure: coastal homes may need heavier-duty materials.

Canterbury fencing FAQs
What fencing is best for a rental property?
Concrete posts with slotted panels and concrete gravel boards are a good choice. They need little maintenance, and if a panel is damaged it can be swapped quickly without disturbing the posts.
Do I need consent to fence a listed property in Canterbury?
Fences within the grounds of a listed building may need consent, whatever their height. Canterbury has a great many listed properties, so check with the city council before starting.
