What to know about Fences
Fencing is one of the few jobs around a British home where the rule is a planning rule rather than a building control one, and where the numbers are worth knowing before you ring anybody. Under permitted development in England you may erect a fence, wall or gate up to two metres high, but only one metre where it is next to a highway used by vehicles or the footpath of such a highway. If what is already there exceeds those limits, the right to alter it does not extend to increasing its height.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size and complexity of the piece or structure
- Wood species or material
- Custom design compared with standard sizes
- Hardware, railings and finishing
- Removal of what's there now
- Permits and drawings, where needed
How to choose fence contractors in Sunderland
- Choose a carpenter whose past work matches your project, whether that's framing, trim, built-ins, stairs or a deck.
- Ask for drawings or a clear description of what will be built, including materials and finishes.
- For decks, stairs and railings, ask whether a permit is needed, since these are safety items.
- Get a written quote that says who supplies materials and whether finishing, such as painting or staining, is included.
- Ask how they'll handle surprises like rot or uneven walls and floors.
Questions to ask fence contractors before you hire
- Can you show me photos of similar work you've done?
- What materials will you use, and why?
- Does this project need a permit, and will you get it?
- Is finishing, such as sanding, painting or staining, included?
- How will you attach the work to the existing structure?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Fence permits in England
Some fence work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Landscapers guide
Landscapers in Britain cover everything from a new lawn and planting scheme to patios, block paving, tarmac drives, fencing, decking, drainage and the levels work that decides where rainwater ends up.

Landscape Design guide
Landscape design is a drawing service rather than a building service. What you buy is a survey of what is there, a set of proposals for levels, structures, surfaces and planting, and a specification detailed enough that…

Lawn Care guide
Lawn care in Britain is closer to a year-round job than a seasonal one. Grass here rarely stops growing altogether, so mowing runs from early spring into late autumn and a mild winter keeps it ticking over.

Common fence questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
