Frequently Asked Questions — Fence Repairs or New Fencing? A Guide for Oldbury Homeowners
How do I know whether to repair or replace my fence?
As a general rule, if fewer than a third of your fence panels or posts are damaged, repairs are usually the more cost-effective option. However, if your fence is old, extensively rotten, or structurally unstable, a full replacement will save money in the long run. E and D Fencing can assess your fence and give honest, impartial advice.
How long does a new fence installation take in Oldbury?
Most standard garden fence installations can be completed within one to two days, depending on the length of the run and the type of fencing chosen. Larger or more complex projects may take a little longer. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new fence in Oldbury?
In most cases, you do not need planning permission for a garden fence up to 2 metres in height. Fences over 1 metre adjacent to a highway may require permission. We recommend checking with Sandwell Council if you are unsure, and we are happy to advise during your free survey.
What types of fencing do you install?
E and D Fencing installs a wide range of fencing types including closeboard, lap panel, picket, post-and-rail, trellis, and heavy-duty commercial fencing. We also supply and fit timber and metal garden gates. Whatever your style or security requirements, we have a solution to suit your Oldbury property.
Is my fence my responsibility or my neighbour’s?
Boundary responsibility is determined by your property deeds, which usually indicate ownership with a T-mark on the boundary plan. If you’re unsure, check your deeds or contact your solicitor. In many cases, neighbours share maintenance costs amicably. We can advise on the best approach once we’ve assessed the situation.
How long will a new timber fence last?
A well-installed timber fence using pressure-treated timber should last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, depending on the species of wood, quality of installation, and ongoing maintenance. Regular treatment with a suitable wood preservative every few years will significantly extend the life of your fence and keep it looking its best.
Do you offer a guarantee on your fencing work?
Yes, E and D Fencing stands behind the quality of our workmanship. We offer a guarantee on both our labour and the materials we supply. Full details will be provided at the time of your quote, giving you complete confidence that your investment in new or repaired fencing is fully protected.
