Long-lasting fencing installations in Sandwich
We recommend all timber used for new fences in Sandwich 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 Sandwich property — no two jobs are the same.

Verified reviews from CT3 & East Kent
Replacement fencing — superb jobKieren and Liam removed 18 metres of old 6ft waney fencing and replaced it with new 6ft closeboard fencing using 8ft concrete posts and concrete panels. They were polite, friendly and very reassuring, left the garden immaculate between days, and the finished fencing was superb. An absolutely fantastic job that exceeded all my expectations.
Boundary fence replacementFence post replacement from timber to concrete. The ground had to be excavated, concrete posts installed and new concrete backfill added. The work was completed within the quoted cost estimate. Would recommend Moores Fencing any day — efficient, on time and the areas left clean and tidy.
New fence after storm damageI required some new fencing after storm damage. Kieren was absolutely meticulous and highly skilled, with great communication throughout and very professional. I would not hesitate to use his services again.

Fencing FAQs
Do you need planning permission for a fence in Sandwich?
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. Sandwich is a medieval Cinque Port town with one of the highest concentrations of listed buildings in the country, so conservation rules frequently 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 Sandwich?
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 Sandwich.
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 Sandwich?
Fencing costs in Sandwich 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.
