Fencing in Atherton
Fence installers for gardens: fencing supplied and fitted, from single panels to full perimeters, straight and solid the first time. Around three miles from our Leigh base.
Fencing for Atherton Gardens
Fencing keeps us busy in M46 all year. Winter storms take their toll on older panels, and plenty of fences on Atherton’s terraced streets and post-war estates are simply reaching the end of their life. We replace single storm-snapped panels, rebuild whole runs and fit new boundaries on the newer estates, where builders’ fencing rarely lasts.
We cover Atherton and the surrounding area: Hag Fold, Hindsford, Howe Bridge, Gibfield, Chanters and beyond (M46).

What’s Included
We fit close-board for strength, panel fencing where budgets are tighter, and concrete posts with gravel boards where exposure or damp ground demands them. Alley-backed terraces get special attention. Access is tighter, and the back fence often doubles as security.
- Close-board, panel and picket fencing
- Concrete or timber posts, set properly
- Gravel boards to stop rot at ground level
- Garden gates made to match
- Old fencing removed and disposed of
- Storm damage fence repairs and panel swaps
How It Works
Fencing in Atherton, FAQs
The usual rule applies: up to 2 metres in a back garden without planning permission, and 1 metre where the fence fronts a highway. Corner plots can be caught out by the highway rule, so we check what applies, with Wigan Council’s guidance in mind, before we build.
Yes, no job too small. Atherton is a few minutes from our base, so single-panel repairs and post replacements slot in quickly, often alongside other jobs in the town.
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.
