Fencing for Astley Gardens
Fences in Astley work harder than most. Gardens on the village edge face long, open runs of farmland and moss with nothing to slow the wind down, so we build accordingly, concrete posts, gravel boards and panels fixed to take a battering, not just to look neat on day one.
We cover Astley and the surrounding area: Astley Green, Higher Green, Blackmoor, Cross Hillock, Astley Moss and beyond (M29).

How It Works
Fencing in Astley, FAQs
Close-board on concrete posts with gravel boards is the toughest all-rounder. Individual boards flex in the wind where a cheap panel acts like a sail. For very exposed moss-edge gardens, hit-and-miss fencing lets wind pass through and lasts even longer.
The usual rules apply: up to 2 metres in a back garden without permission, but only 1 metre where the fence fronts a highway. On corner plots along the main roads we’ll confirm with Wigan Council rules before building.
It depends on the length, height and style. As a rough guide, panel fencing works out cheaper than close-board, and timber posts cheaper than concrete. We quote per job after a free site visit, so you get an exact written price before anything starts.
Most domestic fencing jobs take one to two days. A single 6ft panel or post swap is usually done in a morning; a full garden perimeter with old fence removal might run to two or three days.
Concrete posts last decades and never rot, but timber looks softer and costs less up front. In exposed gardens we usually recommend concrete posts with gravel boards, because that combination survives the wettest winters.
