What local fencing contractors in Wigan can do

Before you build: the rules in England

You won't normally need planning permission in England for a fence of up to 2 metres, or 1 metre alongside a road used by vehicles, unless the property is listed or permitted development rights have been removed. More on fence height and boundaries.

Why fencing quotes vary around Wigan

Beyond the style and length of fence, a few things specific to Wigan can push a quote up or down:

  • Wet ground makes concrete posts the long-term choice, although they cost a little more upfront.
  • Alleys behind terraces in Hindley, Ince and Pemberton make deliveries easy.
  • Covenants on newer estates in Standish and Orrell may restrict fence styles.

Questions about fencing in Wigan

Should I replace timber posts with concrete in Wigan?

In wet North West conditions, concrete posts usually last much longer and make future panel replacement easier.

How high can a front garden fence be in Wigan?

Next to a road used by vehicles, fences, walls and gates are normally limited to 1 metre without planning permission. Some newer estates also have covenants controlling front boundaries, so check your deeds.
