Fencing for Westhoughton Gardens
Westhoughton sits on higher ground than much of our patch, and the fencing takes the punishment to prove it, especially on the exposed edges where gardens back onto open farmland around Hart Common and out towards Chew Moor and there’s nothing to slow the wind down. For exposed runs we fit concrete posts and gravel boards as standard, because timber posts alone don’t last out there.
We cover Westhoughton and the surrounding area: Wingates, Daisy Hill, Chequerbent, Chew Moor, Hart Common and beyond (BL5).

- 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 Westhoughton, FAQs
As a general rule, up to 2 metres in a back garden without planning permission, dropping to 1 metre where the fence borders a highway. Corner plots can be caught by the highway rule. If yours is one, we’ll check with Bolton Council’s guidance before we build.
Yes, it’s a job we do all the time on the newer estates. Developer fencing is usually thin panels on timber posts. We replace it with concrete posts, gravel boards and proper panels, and the problem stops.
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.
