Fencing contractors in Dorset: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners:

• You’re responsible for organising and paying for fencing on your property.
• If replacing an existing boundary fence, check who owns it (this is usually marked on property deeds).
• No planning permission needed for fences up to 2 metres (or 1 metre next to a road).
• Adding trellis? If it takes the total height above 2m, you might need permission.

Renters

• Fencing issues (like damage or repairs) are usually the landlord’s responsibility.
• Speak to your landlord or letting agent before booking any fencing work.
• You can suggest a fencing contractor, but it’s up to the property owner to approve and arrange it.
