Norwich has one of the best-preserved medieval centres in England, ringed by Victorian terraces in the Golden Triangle and Magdalen Road area, and then by larger suburbs such as Hellesdon, Sprowston and Thorpe St Andrew.
Wherever you live in and around the city, we can share your fencing request with contractors who work locally, so you can compare prices and timescales.
Flint, sandy soils and city gardens
Flint walls are a feature of Norwich, and many older properties combine them with timber fencing. On the lighter, sandier soils found in parts of Norfolk, posts need a good concrete footing to stay firm, but drainage is generally better than on clay.
In the suburbs, bungalows and semis with wide gardens are common. Replacing old timber posts with concrete, and adding trellis or a new gate at the same time, is a popular combined job.

Fence height and planning rules in England
In England, a garden fence or gate up to 2 metres high usually doesn't need planning permission, falling to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Listed buildings, some conservation areas and estates with restricted rights are the main exceptions. More on fence height and boundaries.

Fencing in Norwich: your questions answered
Is concrete or timber better for fence posts in Norfolk?
Concrete posts last longest and suit most panel fences. Timber posts can look better with closeboard or rustic designs, but they will eventually rot at ground level.
Can a new fence go next to an old flint wall in Norwich?
Yes. Contractors usually set new posts just inside the wall rather than fixing to it, to avoid damaging old flint and lime mortar. Trellis above a low wall is another popular option.
