How much does new fencing cost per metre in Worcestershire?

Fencing in Worcestershire starts at £45 per linear metre for wooden panel, £85 for composite and £120 for metal railings, supplied and installed, with gates from £450. Most domestic runs are completed in one to three working days. Wooden panel is the standard choice for garden boundaries and between-house fencing on a budget. Composite costs more up front but does not need staining or treating, which makes it the usual pick for new builds and low-maintenance gardens. Metal railings suit front boundaries on period properties and anywhere security matters. Posts are the part that fails first, so we set them properly rather than relying on the panel to hold the line. Seastone Driveways & Patios is family-run, fits fencing and gates across Worcester, Kidderminster, Redditch, Malvern, Droitwich, Pershore and Evesham, guarantees workmanship for five years in writing, and takes no payment before completion.

Why Seastone for fencing

Posts properly set, panels properly secured.

Most fences fail at the post. We concrete-set every post in a 600mm Postcrete footing, use H4-rated pressure-treated timber, and finish with stainless or galvanised fixings. The result lasts 15+ years instead of 5.

FAQ

Fencing questions we hear most often.

How much does garden fencing cost in Worcestershire?

Closeboard fencing is typically £45–£60/linear metre installed, composite £85–£110/m, metal railings £120–£180/m. A 20m garden boundary in closeboard is around £1,000–£1,300. Driveway gates from £450 (single) or £950 (double) plus motors if automated.

Do I need planning permission for garden fencing?

Front-boundary fencing over 1m next to a road needs planning permission. Side and rear boundaries can go up to 2m without permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas have stricter rules — we check before quoting.

How long do wooden fences last?

Properly installed fences with concrete-set posts and tannelised timber typically last 15–20 years, often longer. Cowboy installs with thrown-in posts fail in 5–7 years. The post and footing are everything — the panels are easy to replace.

Can you install automatic driveway gates?

Yes — we install electric sliding and swing gates with mains-powered or solar motors. Typical install is £2,500–£4,500 for a single-panel automatic gate, £4,000–£6,500 for a full pair. Includes safety photocells and auto-close.

Do you remove old fencing?

Yes — we include removal and disposal in every quote. Old timber goes to a licensed waste site; metal and concrete are recycled. The site is left clean and ready for the new install.
