- Panels blown out or damaged in storms
- Concrete posts and gravel boards fitted to an existing run
- Sagging or dropped gates rehung

Benefits of Professionally Installed Fencing in Bodicote
Wooden garden fencing is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its natural beauty and versatility. Some of the benefits of choosing wooden fencing for your garden include:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Wooden fences have a natural and timeless look that complements many different styles of homes and gardens. They can be painted and stained to match your personal taste and can also be left untreated to develop a charming, weathered appearance over time.
- Customisable: Wooden fencing can be cut to various sizes and shapes, making it a versatile choice for gardens with unique layouts or uneven terrain. Additionally, wooden fencing can be easily modified to add gates or other features as needed.
- Cost Effective: Wooden fencing is generally less expensive than other materials such as wrought iron or vinyl, making it an affordable option for homeowners on a budget.
- Sustainable: Wood is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly choice for garden fencing. Additionally, many manufacturers use sustainable forestry practices to ensure responsible sourcing of wood.
- Durability: With proper maintenance, wooden fences can last for many years, making them a long-term investment for your garden. Regular staining or sealing can help protect the wood from rot, pests and weather damage.
Whether you’re looking to add privacy, security or aesthetic appeal to your garden, a wooden fence can be a great choice.
Gates
Side gates and double driveway gates, made to fit the opening rather than cut down from stock. Hung on posts set for the weight of the gate, with the ironmongery, drop bolts and locks fitted as part of the job. We also rehang and repair existing gates that have dropped or are catching.
How we install a fence
A fence leans because of what is below ground, not what is above it. This is what we do on every job in Bodicote, and it is worth checking any quote you receive against it.
- Old fence removed and the existing posts dug out, not cut off at ground level and left in.
- Line and levels set along the boundary, stepping the run where the ground falls.
- Post holes dug to depth, roughly a quarter of the finished post height, deeper on exposed or soft ground.
- Concrete posts and gravel boards as standard. Timber posts rot at ground level first, which is where nearly every failed fence goes.
- Posts set in concrete and left to go off before panels are loaded on.
- Pressure treated timber throughout, ready to stain or paint to your own colour.
- Capping and finishing, with the site cleared and all waste taken away.
How much does Fencing cost in Bodicote
We measure up on site before we price. What moves the number:
- Length of the run and the height of the fence
- Fence type, from overlap at the lower end to closeboard and estate fencing above it
- Posts, concrete versus timber, and whether gravel boards are fitted
- Removing the old fence and digging out the existing posts
- Ground conditions, since rock, clay and made up ground slow the holes down
- Slope, where the run has to be stepped or raked
- Access for materials, and whether everything comes through the house or a side gate
- Gates, ironmongery and any trellis or screening on top
FAQs for Garden Fencing in Bodicote OX15
To avoid running into trouble with planning or upsetting the neighbours, keep your fence under 2 metres in total. There are additional rules that apply if your fence is on a road or path along a road, so you check those. If these rules apply, you may be restricted to 1 metre.
you cannot do anything with a fence that’s owned by your neighbour. That includes putting a trellis, hanging baskets, painting, staining, or using preservative. Ridiculous as it may sound, anything that you do to your neighbours’ fence, whether it improves it or not, could be construed as criminal damage.
If the trellis takes the fence to over 2 metres, then officially you cannot put a trellis on top. There are arguments about whether the trellis is part of the fence but for the definitive answer you may have to check with your local planning department.
You will rarely need planning permission to erect a fence for a normal family home, but the general rules are as follows:
- The fence is not taller than a total of 2 metres
- If you are replacing an existing fence that is already over 2 metres, the new fence should be no higher
- If the fence is next to a highway or footpath alongside a highway, then the fence should be no higher than 1 metre
- The right to erect a fence hasn’t been removed by another direction or planning condition.
You do. It’s your fence and you can do what you like with it. The idea that you have to give your neighbour the best side of the fence is a myth.
Costs will vary depending on the size of your garden, the type and style of fencing chosen, how accessible your garden is and the length of time it may take. No two garden fencing jobs are the same. Call us and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and a no-obligation quote.
Now there’s a question! The only sure way to know is if ownership is marked on the deeds for the property. Remarkably, the question is rarely asked before purchase and the subject only comes up when action is required to make changes to the fence. When there is no clear answer regarding who owns the fence, then it relies on common sense and communication.
