Fencing Altrincham
Fencing in Altrincham Built for Privacy and Style
Gardens in and around Altrincham often sit close to neighbours, roads and footpaths, so a fence has to do more than mark the line. It needs to give you privacy, take the edge off the wind and still look smart from the street. JCM Groundworks & Landscaping installs and repairs fencing in Altrincham using timber chosen for how it weathers, not just how it looks on day one.
Contemporary Slatted Screens
Horizontal slatted fencing in cedar laths or larch batten is one of the finishes we fit most locally. Small gaps between the boards let some air through, so the screen copes better in strong gusts while still blocking the view. It also suits the porcelain paving and modern layouts on our landscaping in Altrincham page.
Front Boundaries With Kerb Appeal
A low, well-finished front fence frames the whole property. We line posts up with your path and driveway edges, so everything reads as one design. For the full range of panels, heights and colours, see our main fencing services page.
Check Before You Build
Most garden fences up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road, do not need planning permission. Some streets around Altrincham sit in conservation areas, where taking down an existing fence or wall can need consent. The Planning Portal fence guidance explains the rules, and we will flag anything we spot on our visit.
Fence Options
Choosing the Right Fence for Your Garden
Each timber suits a different job. Here is how the options we install most often compare.
Cedar Lath Screens
Warm-toned slats with a clean, modern line that weather to a soft silver grey.
Larch Batten
A tough softwood with natural knots and grain, well suited to slatted designs.
Treated Batten
A good-value treated timber for longer runs where budget matters most.
Repairs and Extensions
Fence Repairs and Wall Extensions
Not every boundary needs replacing. Often the quickest and cheapest fix is a targeted repair, and we will always tell you honestly which makes more sense.
After a Storm
Wind is the biggest enemy of garden fencing. When posts snap or panels blow out, we can usually replace the damaged sections and match them to what is left, so you do not have to replace the whole run.
When Replacement Makes More Sense
If most posts have rotted at ground level, patching tends to fail again within a season or two. In that case, we show you what we found and price both options, so the decision is yours.
Adding Height to a Wall
A fence fixed on top of an existing wall gives extra privacy without the cost of more brickwork. We fix posts or brackets securely, so the extension stays solid in high winds.
Neat From Start to Finish
Finally, we take away old panels, posts and concrete and leave the fence line tidy and ready for planting. Every job is covered by £2 million liability insurance.

FAQs
Fencing in Altrincham FAQs
Planning a new fence brings up plenty of questions, from height rules to which timber lasts. Here are clear answers to the ones we hear most. Still unsure? Call 07523 777 894 for friendly advice.
How much does fencing cost in Altrincham?
It depends on the length of the run, the height, the timber you choose and whether old fencing needs taking away. We measure up for free and give you an itemised quote, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Altrincham?
Usually not for a garden fence up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road. Different rules can apply to listed buildings, and in a conservation area taking down an existing fence or wall can need consent. The Planning Portal guidance explains the rules in full.
Which type of fence lasts longest?
Cedar and larch resist rot better than untreated softwood, and treated batten is a good-value option. How well the posts are set matters just as much, so we take care with the footings on every job.
Can you replace just the damaged panels?
Yes. Where the posts are still sound, we replace the broken sections and match them to the rest of the run as closely as we can.
Who is responsible for a shared fence?
Your property deeds usually show which boundary is yours. If you are unsure, the government guidance on property boundaries is a good place to start, and we are happy to work with both neighbours.
Do you take away the old fence?
Yes. We remove old panels, posts and concrete and leave the fence line clean and tidy.
