Red soil, rain and a growing city
The red Devon soil around Exeter is often heavy and holds water, so posts need a good concrete footing and gravel boards to keep timber off the damp ground. The mild, wet climate means regular treatment helps timber fences last.
In new developments such as Cranbrook and Newcourt, homeowners often want to upgrade the fence the developer provided, adding privacy or replacing lightweight panels with something sturdier.
Exeter blends Georgian and Victorian streets around the cathedral with suburbs like Heavitree and St Thomas and fast-growing new communities such as Cranbrook to the east.
Wherever you are in and around the city, we can help you compare quotes for new fencing, repairs and gates from contractors who work locally.

What local fencing contractors in Exeter 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 Exeter
Beyond the style and length of fence, a few things specific to Exeter can push a quote up or down:
- Heavy red Devon soil may need deeper footings.
- Covenants on newer developments such as Cranbrook may restrict fence styles.
- Narrow older streets near the city centre can make deliveries slow.

Questions about fencing in Exeter
How often should I treat a timber fence in Devon?
Every two to three years is a good rule of thumb in a mild, wet climate. Pressure-treated timber resists rot, but a surface treatment helps keep it looking good.
Can I replace the fence on my Cranbrook new-build?
Usually, yes, but check your deeds for covenants that may specify fence styles, particularly on road-facing boundaries.
