Built to last
Long-lasting fencing installations in Whitstable
We recommend all timber used for new fences in Whitstable 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 Whitstable property — no two jobs are the same.
What Whitstable customers say
Verified reviews from CT5 & East Kent
Subsiding concrete fence posts re-setFirst class service and communication. Great job of fixing the fence, completed without issue.
Great job done — highly recommendedFrom initial spec of works and quotation through to completion, I am very pleased indeed. I never waited more than 24 hours for a reply. Kieren was always cheerful, knowledgeable, hardworking and professional — organised, neat, tidy and completed to a high standard.
New gateKieren of Moores Fencing gave me a quote to install a new gate. He came when he said he would (within a couple of weeks) and finished the job in a morning. The gate looks great — very secure.

Fencing FAQs
Do you need planning permission for a fence in Whitstable?
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 Whitstable fall within a conservation area where stricter rules apply, and listed properties have their own restrictions — 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 Whitstable?
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 Whitstable.
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 Whitstable?
Fencing costs in Whitstable 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.
