City terraces and county suburbs

Terraced gardens in Leicester are often long and narrow, with back alleys that make it easier to get materials in. Many fences have been patched over the years, and a full replacement with concrete posts can transform them.

In Oadby and the outer suburbs, larger gardens and side access make fencing straightforward. Closeboard and trellis panels are popular for privacy.

What affects fencing prices in Leicester

Fencing contractors in Leicester normally price a job after a visit or a look at photos. These are the local factors that tend to move the price:

  • Garden length: long terraced plots need more materials.
  • Access: back alleys help keep labour costs down.
  • Style: trellis and closeboard cost more than basic panels.

Fencing in Leicester: your questions answered

How long does a fence replacement take in Leicester?

Most back garden fences are completed within one to three days, depending on length and style.

How tall can the fence behind my Leicester terrace be?

Up to 2 metres is normally allowed without planning permission, including any trellis on top. If the fence is next to a road used by vehicles, the limit is usually 1 metre, so corner plots need more care.
