Metro-land semis and their gardens
The typical Harrow garden is long and rectangular, with fences on both sides and a rear boundary backing onto another garden, an alleyway or a railway line. Contractors often replace one side at a time, working with neighbours to share costs.
Pinner and parts of Harrow on the Hill have conservation areas where timber fencing and hedging are more in keeping with the street than tall modern panels. Stanmore, towards the edge of London, has larger plots and more exposed boundaries backing onto countryside.
Harrow grew up alongside the Metropolitan line in the 1920s and 1930s, and its streets of "Metro-land" semis still define much of the borough. Those houses came with generous back gardens, and a good number still have the kind of timber fencing that has been patched rather than replaced.

What local fencing contractors in Harrow 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 Harrow
Beyond the style and length of fence, a few things specific to Harrow can push a quote up or down:
- Neighbour agreements: shared runs are often split, which reduces your share of the bill.
- Access down the side of the house: most semis have side access, which helps keep costs down.
- Style: traditional designs for conservation areas may cost a little more than standard panels.

Questions about fencing in Harrow
My garden backs onto a railway – who maintains that fence?
Fences along railway lines are often the responsibility of Network Rail or the relevant rail operator, not the homeowner. You can still add your own fence inside your boundary for extra privacy. Check your deeds and contact the operator if their fence is damaged.
How long does it take to replace a garden fence in Harrow?
A typical side boundary of 20–30 metres usually takes one to three days, depending on the style and how much old fencing has to be removed.
