Swindon grew up around the Great Western Railway works, and its railway village terraces still sit at the heart of the town. Since the 1970s, huge expansions in West Swindon, the northern sector and Wichelstowe have added tens of thousands of homes.
Many of those estate fences are now reaching retirement age. Tell us about yours and we will help you get quotes from local contractors.
Railway terraces and big modern estates
In the older parts of Swindon, terraced homes have long, narrow gardens and shared fences, often reached only through the house or a rear lane. Concrete posts with slotted panels are the practical choice here.
On the larger estates in West Swindon, Abbey Meads and Haydon Wick, original developer fences are the most common thing to replace. Swindon's clay soils can loosen timber posts over time, so contractors typically recommend concrete.

What affects fencing prices in Swindon
Fencing contractors in Swindon normally price a job after a visit or a look at photos. These are the local factors that tend to move the price:
- Clay soils: deeper footings help posts last.
- Access: terraced streets may lack side access.
- Scale: coordinating with neighbours can bring costs down.

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 Swindon: your questions answered
My estate fence is 25 years old – should I replace it?
If the posts are leaning or rotten and panels are soft or broken, replacement is usually better value than repeated repairs. Concrete posts and heavier panels will last much longer.
Does my neighbour have to pay half the cost of a new fence in Swindon?
Only if the fence is shared and you both agree. Check your title plan for boundary responsibility. If the fence is yours, the cost is yours, though many neighbours choose to split it anyway.
