Fencing in Salford

Compare free fencing quotes in Salford, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley and Walkden. Garden fencing, repairs and gates from local contractors.

Salford has changed dramatically in recent years, with MediaCityUK and new apartments along the Quays. But most homes are still houses with gardens – terraces in Eccles and Pendleton, semis in Swinton and larger homes around Worsley's canal.

Let us know what you need and we will share it with fencing contractors across Salford.

From terraces to canal-side homes

Worsley and Boothstown have larger homes, many with gardens backing onto the Bridgewater Canal or green space. Privacy and a smart finish are important, so closeboard and quality panels are popular.

In Eccles, Pendleton and Swinton, terraced and semi-detached homes with smaller gardens make up most of the demand, with concrete posts and slotted panels the usual choice.

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 Salford: your questions answered

Who owns the fence between my garden and the canal towpath?

It depends. Check your title plan – in some cases the boundary belongs to the Canal & River Trust. Contact them if their fence needs repair.

Can I get a new fence and patio done together in Salford?

Yes. Many fencing contractors also do landscaping, or work alongside a landscaper. Doing the fence first means the patio can be laid right up to the gravel boards.
