Fencing in Sevenoaks

Closeboard, panel, picket and chestnut post & rail fencing for homes in Sevenoaks and the villages around it, from our base in Tonbridge, about 20 minutes up the A21.

Sevenoaks and the villages

Fencing for Sevenoaks homes and gardens

Sevenoaks is one of the three towns we focus on, with Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. From our base in Tonbridge it’s about 20 minutes up the A21, and we cover the villages around it too, including Ightham and Shoreham.

Our closeboard, panel, picket and post & rail fences are cut and built on site, not delivered flat-packed. For bigger plots and paddocks, chestnut post & rail marks the boundary without closing the view; where you want privacy, closeboard with a gravel board and capping rail does the job.

Every job starts with a free site visit and a written quote, and we take the old fence away when we’re done.

Good to know

Before you replace a fence in Sevenoaks

How high can it be?

In most cases you don’t need planning permission for a fence up to 2 metres high, or up to 1 metre where it runs next to a road or the pavement beside it. Replacing a fence at the same height is usually fine too.

Listed homes and local rules

If your home is listed, or there are extra planning rules where you live, the usual allowances may not apply. Check with Sevenoaks District Council before you start.

Looking at chestnut post & rail? Post & rail fencing

Do you cover Sevenoaks?

Yes. We cover Sevenoaks and the villages around it, including Ightham and Shoreham, from our base in Tonbridge, about 20 minutes away up the A21. Not sure about your road? Just ask.

Do I need planning permission for a new fence?

Usually not, if the fence is no more than 2 metres high, or 1 metre where it runs next to a road. If your home is listed, or there are extra rules where you live, check with Sevenoaks District Council before you start.

What fence suits a large garden or paddock?

For long, open boundaries, chestnut post & rail is a popular choice and often lasts 20 to 40 years. Where you want privacy, made-on-site closeboard with a gravel board and capping rail is a strong and durable option.

How much will my new fence cost?

    I had three quotes from different businesses and the prices were all pretty similar, but I instantly liked Matt when he came out to assess the job. He gave me real confidence that I’d be in safe hands. I paid the deposit, and on the day of the work the team arrived early, worked hard all day, and delivered a stunning result. I’m genuinely pleased I found them, and they’ll be top of my list next time I need any fencing done.

    I was recommended to Fencecraft by my neighbour who had a new rear boundary last year. Sometimes recommendations do not work out but I could not have been more pleased with Fencecraft. Chris and Matt were polite, efficient and extremely professional. They arrived exactly as planned, worked throughout the day without a break and on completion they ensured that everything was tidy and clean and left a very satisfied customer with a stunning fence. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

    Fencecraft has installed a bespoke, hit and miss fence on a tricky slope position for us. They came recommended thus we were expecting a quality product, but the final result exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship has produced a beautifully finished yet very sturdy fence. They are serious, reliable, and genuinely nice guys. Highly recommended!

    Matt and Chris have replaced a couple of dilapidate fences for us now. The service and the fences themselves have been excellent on both occasions. Their quotes are accurate, they turn up when agreed and the end product is as promised, with all rubbish removed and the site cleared when they leave. Very happy to use them again and have no reservation in recommending them to friends and family.

    Brilliant from start to finish. Matt and Chris did a great job installing a gate and fencing at our home. They are very professional, really nice guys and we are very happy with the work they delivered. Will definitely use them again for any timber work. Thanks

    Chris and Matt have done a fabulous job fencing our garden to ensure it is dog friendly and secure. They were both very reliable, courteous and extremely skilled at what they do. I would certainly have them back to do anything further that we may like.

    Really please with both the quality of work and the service from Fencecraft. A hard working team who offered good advice and problem solving on an unorthodox project. Will definitely be using again.
