Frequently asked questions
Whose fence is it, mine or my neighbour's?
Your deeds or the Land Registry title plan may show a T mark against the boundary you are responsible for. There is no general rule about left or right. If it is not clear, talk to your neighbour before you replace it, and consider sharing the cost.
Concrete or timber posts?
Concrete posts last far longer and hold slotted panels, but some people dislike the look. Timber posts look better with closeboard fencing and last well if they are set in concrete and kept off wet ground. Ask what the contractor recommends for your soil and exposure.
How high can a garden fence be?
In England a fence up to 2 metres at the back and sides, and up to 1 metre next to a road, generally does not need planning permission. Anything higher, or near a highway, may. Check with the council if in doubt.
How do I get a quote from fencing contractors in Great Barr?

Are the fencing contractors on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records and are marked as not yet verified. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We say plainly what we have checked and what we have not.
What should I check before I hire a fencing contractor?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Prices and availability are confirmed by each business. No payment is taken online, you pay the tradesperson directly.
