Fencing contractors in Farnham
Fences, gates, decking and garden rooms across Farnham and its villages, from a team just up the road.
Farnham is home ground. We are minutes away, so a quote is quick to arrange, an evening visit is easy, and if anything needs a second look after the job, we are close enough to come straight back.
In the town it is mostly back gardens, side returns and the gate down the side of the house. Out towards Frensham, Tilford and Churt it is paddocks, long boundaries, field gates and post and rail.
What we do in Farnham
We handle the whole job, A to Z: fencing, gates and electric gates, decking, paving and garden rooms, from the first visit to the final sweep.

Gates
Garden gates to match the fence, driveway gates and electric gates.
Landscaping
Composite decking, patios, paving, lawns, sleepers and planting beds.

The ground around Farnham
Light sand to the south
Towards the Bourne, Frensham and Tilford the ground is light and sandy. It drains well, which timber likes, but sand gives a post less grip. So the holes go deeper and the concrete goes wider.
It changes street by street
The ground is not the same across the town. We dig the first hole before we promise a depth.
Horses lean on fences
On paddocks the rails take far more load than a garden fence ever will. Posts are closer together and the rails are fixed to take it.
Rules worth knowing in Farnham
The full rules, with the official source for each one, are on our advice page.
The old town is a conservation area
Much of central Farnham is a conservation area. A new fence up to the normal heights is usually fine unless the council has made an Article 4 direction for that street, and taking down an old wall or fence there can need permission. We check both before anything starts.
Fences beside a road
Anywhere in England, a fence, wall or gate next to a road used by vehicles can be 1 metre without planning permission. Everywhere else it is 2 metres.
Garden rooms in the Farnham villages
Frensham, Tilford, Churt and Seale are in the Surrey Hills National Landscape. There, all garden buildings more than 20 metres from the house can cover no more than 10 square metres in total without planning permission. Fences are unaffected.

Questions from Farnham
How quickly can you come out to quote in Farnham?
We are close by, so it is usually quick to arrange, and evening visits are easy if you work during the day.
Do I need permission for a fence in Farnham's conservation area?
Not usually for a new fence up to the normal heights: 2 metres, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Some streets have an Article 4 direction that changes this, taking down an old wall or fence can need permission, and a listed building changes the rules. We check before we start.
Do you do paddock fencing around Frensham and Tilford?
Yes. Post and rail paddock fencing, with stock or rabbit fencing where you need it, and field gates to match.
