Pricing a fence in Gateshead: the local factors
Two quotes for the same fence in Gateshead can differ more than you'd expect. It usually comes down to things like these:
- Back lanes behind Tyneside flats and terraces make access for materials easy.
- Hilltop homes in Whickham and Low Fell may need heavier posts and panels to cope with the wind.
- Shared yards between upper and lower flats need both owners to agree before work starts.

Gateshead fencing FAQs
Can I replace a shared yard fence without my neighbour's agreement?
It is best to agree any work on a shared boundary with your neighbour first. Check your deeds for ownership and responsibility.
What fence is best for a hilltop garden in Whickham?
Concrete posts with heavier or slatted panels, set deep in concrete, cope best with the wind on higher ground.
Do you need planning permission for a fence in England?
Most fences in England are permitted development up to 2 metres – or 1 metre where they border a road used by vehicles. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with the council before you build. More on fence height and boundaries.
