Fencing for Wigan Gardens
Parts of Wigan sit noticeably higher than our Leigh patch. Up around Beech Hill and out towards Standish the wind gets a proper run at a fence line. For exposed gardens we recommend concrete posts, gravel boards and panels that can breathe, because a solid fence in a windy spot is a sail waiting for a storm.
We cover Wigan and the surrounding area: Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Beech Hill, Worsley Mesnes and beyond (WN1, WN2, WN3, WN6).

What’s Included
Down in the terraced streets it’s a different job, fences backing onto alleys and ginnels, tight access, old posts rotted off at ground level. We replace like-for-like or upgrade the lot, and we cart the old fencing away rather than leaving it stacked in the alley.
- 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 Wigan, FAQs
Up to 2 metres in a back garden without planning permission. Next to a highway the limit drops to 1 metre. Corner plots in Wigan can be caught out by that, so we check what applies under Wigan Council’s rules before we build.
Yes, the spec matters more than the brand. Concrete posts set deep, gravel boards, and either well-fixed panels or a slatted style that lets gusts pass through. We recommend what suits your spot, not just what’s cheapest.
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.
