Fencing in Romford and Havering
Get free fencing quotes in Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster and Gidea Park. Compare Havering fencing contractors for panels, closeboard, repairs and gates.
Romford and the wider borough of Havering feel more like Essex than inner London, with semis, bungalows and family homes on proper-sized plots. That means plenty of garden fencing – and plenty of fences that need replacing after years of wind blowing across the flat land to the east.
Whether you are in Gidea Park, Collier Row or out towards Upminster, describe the job and we will put your request in front of fencing contractors who work across Havering.
What Romford homeowners tend to ask for
The most common request is a straight replacement: old timber posts out, concrete posts in, new panels and gravel boards. Homeowners who have lost panels in storms often upgrade to heavier panels or closeboard at the same time.
In Gidea Park, where some streets have early-20th-century Arts and Crafts houses, softer styles such as picket fencing and hedging behind low fences suit the look of the area. Harold Hill's post-war homes often have open-plan fronts where a low fence or gate can add definition.

What affects fencing prices in Romford
Fencing contractors in Romford normally price a job after a visit or a look at photos. These are the local factors that tend to move the price:
- Wind exposure: heavier panels and deeper posts cost more but last much longer on open sites.
- Garden width: wider plots mean longer side and rear boundaries.
- Gates: adding a side or front gate is best priced alongside the fence.

Fencing in Romford: your questions answered
My fence keeps blowing down in Romford – what should I do?
Recurring wind damage usually points to weak posts or lightweight panels. Replacing timber posts with concrete ones and choosing heavier panels, closeboard or a slatted design that lets some wind through usually solves it.
Can I replace my fence with a brick wall in Romford?
Yes. Walls up to 2 metres (1 metre next to a road) generally don't need planning permission. A wall costs more and needs a proper foundation, so many homeowners choose brick piers with timber panels in between as a compromise.
