Question 1

Do fencing contractors handle both supply and installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many offer a complete supply-and-fit service. Others may focus only on installation, so it’s worth confirming what’s included in their quote.

Question 2

How long does a typical fencing project take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size and type of fence. A small garden fence could be completed in **1–2 days**, while larger or more complex projects with custom gates may take up to a week.

Question 3

Do contractors remove old fencing?

Accepted Answer

Some include removal in their price, while others charge separately. Always confirm in advance so you don’t end up with leftover panels or posts to dispose of.

Question 4

Do I need planning permission for a new fence?

Accepted Answer

In most residential areas, fences up to a certain height (often around 6 feet) don’t require planning permission, but this varies locally. Your fencing contractor should be able to advise on compliance with local bylaws.
