Shoemakers' terraces and new-town estates
In the Eastern District – places like Lings, Thorplands and Ecton Brook – many homes built in the 1970s and 80s have original fences in need of replacement. Gardens often back onto shared paths, so security is a common concern.
The Victorian terraces near the centre have narrow gardens, and access can be limited. Concrete posts with slotted panels make future repairs simple.
Northampton made its name in shoemaking, and the Victorian terraces built for that trade still line streets near the town centre. Since the 1970s, the town has grown with large new districts to the east and south.

What local fencing contractors in Northampton 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 Northampton
Beyond the style and length of fence, a few things specific to Northampton can push a quote up or down:
- Gardens in the Eastern District often back onto shared paths, so taller fences and lockable gates are common extras.
- Terraces near the town centre rarely have side access, so materials have to go through the house.
- Neighbours on estates such as Lings or Thorplands who share one contractor can bring the cost per household down.

Questions about fencing in Northampton
Who owns the fence between my garden and a footpath?
Check your title plan. In many cases the homeowner is responsible, but some boundaries belong to the council or a housing association.
My Northampton garden backs onto a road – how high can the fence be?
If the fence is directly next to a road used by vehicles, you're normally limited to 1 metre without planning permission. For more screening, many homeowners set a taller fence back from the boundary or plant a hedge – check with the council first.
