Answers to our most frequently asked questions
How much does fencing cost in Gloucestershire?
A: Fencing costs depend on the type of fence, the length of the run, the ground conditions, and materials chosen. As a rough guide, close-board fencing in Gloucestershire typically costs between £80 and £160 per metre supply and fit, depending on height and post type. We provide free, detailed written quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work starts. Call us on 07717 389275 for a free quote.
Q: How long does fence installation take?
A: For a standard residential garden fence, most installations are completed in one day. Larger projects — such as agricultural fencing across multiple acres or commercial perimeters — will take longer, and we’ll agree a programme with you at the quoting stage.
Q: What type of fence posts do you use?
A: We predominantly use pressure-treated softwood posts set in concrete, which offer excellent durability. For longer-lasting installations — particularly on agricultural land — we can also offer concrete fence posts on request.
Q: Do you repair existing fences?
A: Yes. Many fence issues — including leaning posts, broken rails, and damaged panels — can be repaired rather than replaced, saving you money. We’ll always give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Q: Are you insured to carry out fencing work?
A: Yes. GT Fencing & Groundworks carries £1 million in public liability insurance
Q: Do you need planning permission for a fence in Gloucestershire?
A: In most residential cases, you do not need planning permission for a fence up to 2 metres in height (1 metre if it’s adjacent to a highway). If you’re on a new-build development or the fence is near a listed building or conservation area, different rules may apply. We’ll advise you if anything looks unusual when we visit. Always check with your local planning authority (Stroud District Council, Cotswold District Council, etc.) if you’re unsure.
Q: Do you supply and fit, or can I supply my own materials?
A: We prefer to supply and fit, as this allows us to guarantee the quality of materials used and stand behind the installation. We’re also able to source materials cost-effectively through our suppliers. If you have specific products already purchased, speak to us and we’ll advise on suitability.
Q: Which areas do you cover for fencing?
A: We cover all of Gloucestershire including Cam, Dursley, Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Wotton-under-Edge, Berkeley, Nailsworth, Tetbury, Cirencester, the Forest of Dean, and surrounding villages and rural areas.
Q: Do you install metal fencing in Gloucestershire?
Yes. GT Fencing & Groundworks installs palisade security fencing, chain-link and wire mesh fencing, metal railings, and bow-top panel fencing for residential, commercial, and light industrial properties across Gloucestershire.
