Fencing for Winchcombe's older cottages and compact gardens, covering new boundaries, replacement panels and posts, wind damage repairs and gates sized sensibly for small, stone-lined plots.
Winchcombe is a small Cotswold town in stone, with plenty of older cottages and gardens that are compact, irregular and often hemmed in by walls. That makes fencing a matter of fitting things in neatly, not simply putting up standard runs.
We at SPR Trees and Landscapes cover Winchcombe for garden fence installation, garden fence repairs and gate work. Small plots leave less room for error, so we measure carefully, talk through where each post will sit, and agree finishes before we start. You receive a free quotation first, with plain advice on what is worth repairing and what is not.
Short boundaries and odd angles are common here. Standard panels do not always line up, so we often cut and adjust, or use boards fixed to rails on site to follow an uneven line. Posts need room, and there may be walls, steps or old footings in the way. We check these on the visit and plan around them. Where a neighbour's wall carries the boundary, we do not fix to it without agreement. When replacing a fence, we remove the old one cleanly, keep the existing line if it is right, and finish with gravel boards so the lower timber stays dry.
Compact gardens can be surprisingly windy, as gusts funnel between buildings and walls and hit a fence hard. A panel that rattles or leans is a warning sign. We repair fallen fence panels, replace broken fence posts and check the fixings that have worked loose. Sometimes the answer is a more open style that lets wind pass, such as slatted panels. If you need a boundary secured fast, we can make a temporary repair and return to complete the job. We explain the choice so you can decide with confidence.
A small garden benefits from a fence that does not feel heavy. Feather edge in a natural tone is a calm default, and a lower picket fence at the front adds a cottage feel without blocking light. Slatted or contemporary designs suit courtyard-style spaces where you want privacy but a lighter look. Gates are worth planning early, since a narrow access may need a single leaf door-style gate, and a bin store may want a wider opening. We will help you pick sizes and hardware that work day to day, and match the timber to the fence.
We work in Winchcombe and neighbouring places including Cheltenham, Bishop's Cleeve and Broadway. In an older town like this, boundaries can be centuries old and ownership is not always obvious, so we encourage a chat with neighbours before work begins. Where access is limited, we plan deliveries and carry materials by hand when needed. Whether it is one panel or a full run, we will look at it honestly and advise. Contact SPR for a free quote.
We also take on garden fencing work in nearby Cheltenham, Bishop's Cleeve, Broadway.

“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”
Yes. We measure on site and adjust panel sizes or build runs board by board to follow awkward angles. It takes a little more planning than a straight run, but gives a tidy result.
Keep it lower and more open. Picket or post and rail styles allow light and views through while still marking the boundary. We can suggest heights that work with your house and street.
Where there is no side access, we plan to carry panels and posts through carefully, using protection for floors and walls. Please mention access when you contact us so we can allow for it.
