Fence installers for gardens: fencing supplied and fitted, from single panels to full perimeters, straight and solid the first time. Around nine miles from our Leigh base.
Fencing for St Helens Gardens
Fencing on the east side of St Helens has to deal with real exposure. Moss Bank sits high over the borough, and the open ground either side of the East Lancs gives the wind a clear run at anything in its path. A cheaply fitted panel fence doesn’t last long up there. We build for it: concrete posts, gravel boards, and panel choices that suit the site rather than just the catalogue.
We cover St Helens and the surrounding area: Haydock, Blackbrook, Parr, Moss Bank, Broad Oak and beyond (WA9, WA10, WA11).

What’s Included
Down in the terraced streets of Parr and Haydock the job is different, rear boundary runs along alleys, gates that take a hammering, and fences shared between neighbours who both want a say. We fit close-board, panel and decorative fencing across the lot, and take the old fence away when we’re done.
- 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 St Helens, FAQs
Concrete posts and gravel boards as the backbone, and for really exposed runs we’d suggest hit-and-miss or slatted panels. They let some wind pass through instead of taking the full load like a solid panel does. It’s the difference between a fence that flexes and one that goes over.
As a rule, 1 metre next to a highway and up to 2 metres elsewhere without planning permission. Corner plots catch people out because more of the boundary counts as “next to a highway” than you’d think. If it’s borderline, it’s worth a quick check with St Helens Borough Council before building, and we’ll flag it at the quote.
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.
