Fencing in Edinburgh
Homes in Edinburgh
Much of central Edinburgh is a conservation area, so if you live in the centre it is worth finding out whether your street is covered before you settle on a new fence design. Whatever the age of your house, tenement or Georgian or Victorian, the scope of the work still comes down to the fence in place, its condition, its rough length and access to the boundary. Where the ground is wet, posts set in concrete or on concrete spurs last longer. The photo here is from our own finished work: a summerhouse with new gravel and fencing.
What matters for fencing in Edinburgh
Every fence job starts with what you already have. Describe the existing fence and its condition, give us an approximate length and tell us how the boundary is reached. From there we can say whether a repair, some new sections or fresh timber fencing suits your garden. That way the quote reflects the fence you actually have.
- Tell us plainly whether you are after a repair or a full replacement.
- A rough idea of how far the fence runs is enough to start.
- Flag boundary or neighbour questions early so they can be talked through before work begins.
- We are fully insured and hold registered waste carrier status.
Questions about fencing in Edinburgh
My front fence is next to the road. Can it be as high as the back one?
Often not. Fences next to a road usually have lower height limits before planning permission is needed, so settle the height for a roadside boundary before choosing a design.
Can you fix a single damaged section without replacing the whole fence?
Yes. Replacement sections and repairs are part of our fencing work, alongside new timber fencing. Whether a patch holds up depends on the condition of the rest of the line, so describe it when you get in touch.
