Fence installation, repairs and gates in Torquay
Steep plots and sea air
Many Torquay gardens are terraced, with retaining walls and steps between levels. Fencing has to be carefully stepped, and materials often need carrying down or up steep paths. Local contractors are used to working this way.
Coastal exposure means wind and salt. Heavier posts, galvanised or stainless fixings, and slatted designs that let the wind pass help fences last. Views are also valued, so trellis and lower fences are sometimes preferred.

Pricing a fence in Torquay: the local factors
Two quotes for the same fence in Torquay can differ more than you'd expect. It usually comes down to things like these:

Torquay fencing FAQs
How do I keep my sea view and still have a fence?
Lower fencing, trellis or slatted designs let you mark the boundary without blocking the view. Your contractor can suggest the right height and style.
Is hardwood worth it for fences and gates in Torbay?
Hardwoods such as iroko or oak resist rot and weather well by the sea, but they cost considerably more. Many homeowners use hardwood for gates, where it matters most, and treated softwood for the fence.
Do you need planning permission for a fence in England?
Most fences in England are permitted development up to 2 metres – or 1 metre where they border a road used by vehicles. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with the council before you build. More on fence height and boundaries.
