Fencing for Cheltenham's Regency terraces, villas and newer estates, with panel and post replacement, storm repairs and gates matched to the style of each property.
Cheltenham gardens vary more than most. A Regency terrace may have a narrow rear plot with a high wall on one side and a timber fence on the other, a villa may have a generous front boundary that needs to look right from the road, and a newer estate often has plain panels on short concrete posts. Each calls for a different approach to garden fencing, and none of them suits a one-size answer.
We work across the town on fence installation, replacement and repair. Because so many Cheltenham homes are period properties, we pay attention to how a new boundary sits against the house and the neighbouring plots, rather than simply putting up the quickest option. A free quote visit lets us measure up, look at the ground and talk through what suits your setting.
In a terraced garden the main practical question is often access. If every panel and bag of ballast has to come through the house, the job is planned differently from one with a side gate. Rear boundaries between terraces also tend to be short and shared, so panel replacement often involves agreeing the line with both neighbours. Where an old fence leans against a boundary wall, we check whether the wall is taking the strain before fixing anything new to it. New posts should be set in concrete at a depth suited to the height of the fence, with gravel boards keeping panels clear of damp ground.
Tall, solid fences in town gardens catch the wind as it funnels between buildings, and the damage often shows up as a panel torn from its fixings or a post snapped at the base. After a blow we look first at whether the fence is a danger to the neighbours, then at whether the remaining run is still sound. Sometimes the answer is a handful of replacement panels, sometimes it is a post or two, and occasionally the whole line has weakened. Emergency fence repairs can be a temporary secure fix, followed by proper replacement once materials are ready.
For a period house, a plain closeboard or a painted picket often looks more at home than something heavily ornate. Contemporary slatted fencing suits modern extensions and newer estates, and works well with a clean painted or stained finish. Front boundaries are visible from the street, so the gate deserves as much thought as the fence: width, hinge side, latch height and whether it must be strong enough to keep a dog in. Matching an existing gate to a new run is possible, but sometimes replacing both gives a more consistent result.
We cover Cheltenham itself and the towns around it, including Bishop's Cleeve, Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Winchcombe. The Regency core of the town has its own character, with villas and terraces where appearance matters, while newer estates on the outskirts are usually more straightforward. Whichever you live in, we aim to book a visit, give you a free quotation in writing, and explain the options without pressure. If your property is in a conservation setting, check with your local authority before changing a boundary visible from the road.
We also take on garden fencing work in nearby Bishop's Cleeve, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Winchcombe.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Often not for like-for-like work, but height limits apply to front boundaries beside a road, and some period or listed settings have extra controls. Check with your local authority before changing the height or style. We can advise on practical heights, but we cannot give planning decisions.
Slatted or closeboard fencing at a modest height keeps the space private without closing it in, and lighter colours help a small garden feel bigger. Posts take up room, so we plan spacing carefully. Trellis on top can add height where allowed, with your neighbour's agreement.
Often yes, but we first check whether the wall is sound and whether fixing into it is sensible. Crumbling mortar will not hold fixings well. Sometimes a free-standing fence set just inside the wall is a better answer than attaching to it. We will look on site and say which.
