Fencing for Lowton Gardens
A lot of Lowton backs onto open ground. Fields towards Kenyon and Byrom give the wind a clear run at boundary fences, and every winter storm produces a fresh crop of leaning panels and snapped posts. We repair and replace fencing across Lowton, and on exposed runs we build for the conditions: concrete posts, gravel boards and panels that are fixed to last.
We cover Lowton and the surrounding area: Lane Head, Lowton St Mary’s, Lowton Common, Lowton Village, Byrom and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
A lot of the fencing work is on the new estates, where developers tend to fit the lightest larch-lap going. It looks fine on moving-in day and rarely survives its third winter. Replacing it with close-board on concrete posts costs more once and then stops being a problem.
- 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 Lowton, FAQs
Close-board on concrete posts with gravel boards is the honest answer, especially on plots facing open fields. It’s the strongest everyday fencing there is, and it takes Lowton’s weather without drama.
As a rule of thumb: up to 2 metres in a back garden without planning permission, but only 1 metre alongside a highway, which catches a lot of corner plots on Lowton’s estate roads. If it’s borderline we check the rules with Wigan Council before building.
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.
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old fencing is included in the quote. We take all waste away and leave the garden tidy.
