A full range of fence styles in any height and finish to suit your budget — with timber or concrete posts. Bespoke designs available if you’d rather not go off-the-peg.
Built to last
Long-lasting fencing installations in Herne Bay
We recommend all timber used for new fences in Herne Bay is supplied pressure-treated (“tanalised”) for the best possible lifespan. This treatment gives soft-wood fencing a typical 15–20 year life and is especially important for gravel boards that stay in contact with damp ground.
Whether you need a small repair or a whole garden re-fenced, we’ll advise the best option for your Herne Bay property — no two jobs are the same.
What Herne Bay customers say
Verified reviews from CT6 & East Kent
A side gate made and fitted to a great standardKieren made and fitted a side gate for my mother at Herne Village. She is very happy with the added security and overall finish of the work. Kieren was professional and great to correspond with, and the work was done at a mutually convenient time. We would highly recommend him to friends and family.
Fence post replacement, panels and a new gateFrom the very first contact, all the work was completed on time without fuss. The post replacement and panels were dealt with professionally, and the new gate is of the finest workmanship — made from scratch. Kieren and his team were a pleasure to have on my property and I would definitely have them back.
Excellent jobExcellent job installing composite fencing. Very professional and cleaned up afterwards. Happy to recommend.

Fencing FAQs
Do you need planning permission for a fence in Herne Bay?
In most cases, no. You can usually put up a garden fence without planning permission as long as it’s no more than 2 metres high. If the fence borders a road or footpath it’s limited to 1 metre. Parts of Herne Bay, including the seafront and older streets, fall within conservation areas where stricter rules can apply — we’ll check this for you before quoting.
What is the 2 metre fence rule?
The 2 metre fence rule means a fence in your garden can be up to 2 metres tall without needing planning permission. Anything taller, or a fence over 1 metre next to a road or pavement, may need permission. If you’re replacing an existing fence that’s already over 2 metres, the new one should be no higher.
How high can a garden fence be in Herne Bay?
To stay within permitted development and keep on good terms with the neighbours, keep your fence under 2 metres in total height. Fences alongside a road or footpath are restricted to 1 metre. Adding a trellis on top counts towards the total height.
Who owns the fence — and who is responsible for it?
The only certain way to know is to check the title deeds for your property, which often mark boundary ownership with a ‘T’ symbol. In practice the question usually only comes up when a fence needs replacing. If ownership isn’t clear, it comes down to communication and common sense between neighbours — we’re happy to advise on what’s typical in Herne Bay.
Who gets the good side of the fence?
It’s your fence, so you can have it whichever way round you like — the idea that you must give the neighbour the smooth side is a common myth, not a legal requirement. That said, facing the smooth side outward is considered good etiquette and looks tidier from the street.
How much does fencing cost in Herne Bay?
Fencing costs in Herne Bay depend on the type of fence, the length and how easy the area is to access. As a guide, most residential fencing jobs in East Kent fall between £600 and £1,330, with an average of around £900; larger projects can run from £900 to £2,000. No two jobs are the same, so we always provide a free, no-obligation site survey and an itemised quote before any work begins.
