Check who owns it
Start with your deeds or title plan. They sometimes show which boundaries belong to which property, often marked with a T on the side of the owner. In many cases they do not say, and then it is worth speaking to your neighbour and, if needed, getting legal advice.
Talk to your neighbour
A friendly conversation usually settles it. Agree who will pay, whether the cost will be shared and what the new fence should look like. Putting the agreement in writing, even a short message, avoids confusion later.
Arranging the work
Once everyone is happy, we can visit and quote for the repair or replacement. If the fence is on your land, you decide the style. If it is shared, agree the height and design first.
If you cannot agree
If a neighbour will not engage, take advice before doing work that could affect the boundary line. We can supply a written quote, and photos of the fence, which can help the discussion.
Quick tips
- Look at your deeds or title plan for boundary marks.
- Speak to the neighbour before ordering anything.
- Agree height, style and cost in writing.
- Take dated photos of the fence as it is now.

Who owns the fence on my left or right?

Can you quote for a shared fence?
