  • What does a fencing contractor do?

    A fencing contractor is the tradesperson responsible for putting up your new fence. They take care of everything from planning and prep, to installation and disposal.

    Here’s what’s typically included:

    • Visiting your property to assess the area
    • Taking precise measurements
    • Offering advice on the best fencing materials for your needs and budget
    • Ordering materials (or working with those you supply)
    • Leveling the ground ready for installation
    • Installing posts, panels, or rails
    • Clearing away old fencing and any leftover waste

    In short, they bring the tools, the know-how, and the graft. And while job scopes may vary slightly, a good fencing contractor in Leeds will always be upfront about what’s included in your quote.

  • Do I need planning permission for fencing in the UK?

    In most cases, planning permission isn’t needed for garden fencing in Leeds. But there are a few rules to be aware of concerning the height of your fence.

    • Fences next to a road or footpath can be a maximum of one metre high without planning permission.
    • Other fences can be a maximum of two metres high without planning permission.

    You may need permission if:

    • Your property is listed
    • You live in a conservation area
    • You want to add trellis that increases overall height

    Still unsure? Check with your local planning office to avoid future issues.

    Why not read our detailed fence installation guide for more guidance on planning your project?

  • How much do fencing contractors charge in Leeds?

    The cost of hiring fencing contractors in Leeds depends on your fence’s size, material, and complexity. But to give you a starting point, here’s what you can expect:

    • Average cost to install a 4ft wooden fence: around £1,600 (labour only)
    • Average cost for a 6ft fence: around £2,200 (labour only)
    • Cost per metre for fencing installation: £55–£100, depending on material
    • Fencing labour rates near you: typically £150–£250 per day

    Other things that affect the price:

    • Type of fence (closeboard, panel, chainlink, or post and rail)
    • Ground condition and prep required
    • Waste removal or extra services (like painting or staining)
    • Whether materials are included

    It's a good idea to request fence quotes from at least three checked fencing contractors covering your local area.

    We also provide a more in depth look at current prices in our fence installation cost guide.

  • How do I find the right fencing contractor in Leeds?

    Finding a fencing contractor committed to quality doesn’t need to be stressful.

    Follow these simple steps:

    1. Get clear on your needs - How long? What height? What style?
    2. Search fencing companies in Leeds on Checkatrade - All members are checked before joining and reviewed by real customers.
    3. Read customer reviews - Look for feedback on reliability, timekeeping, and the quality of handiwork.
    4. Ask for multiple quotes - Include questions about material supply, timelines, and clean-up.
    5. Look at their previous work - Photos or local references help build trust.

    Remember: A suitable fencing contractor won’t rush your decision.

    Plus, if you hire through Checkatrade, you’ll have an added layer of protection, with our 12-month guarantee.

  • What is the 2m fence rule?

    This refers to planning rules in the UK.

    If your fence is more than 2 metres high, you’ll usually need planning permission.

    That includes any trellis on top that takes it over the limit.

    Sticking to 2m or under usually keeps you on the safe side.

  • How long does it take to install a fence?

    Most garden fencing jobs in Leeds take 2-3 days. That can vary depending on:

    • The size of the area
    • Type of fencing
    • Ground conditions (e.g. rocky, sloped)
    • Weather

    Your fencing company should be able to give you a clear timeline based on your project.

  • Is it cheaper to build a fence yourself or hire someone?

    DIY can save you money, but it’s not always cheaper in the long run. Here’s what to consider:

    1. Cost comparison:

    • Saving on labour could cut your spend by £1,600 - £2,200.
    • However, you’ll still need to buy materials, tools, and possibly pay for waste removal.

    2. Average DIY costs:

    • Fence panels: £45 each
    • Chain link: Around £10 per foot
    • Posts: £25.50 each
    • Waste removal: Up to £210 per load

    3. Skill and time:

    • Installing a fence isn’t easy.
    • It involves digging, levelling, measuring, and securing everything so it lasts.
    • If that sounds like a stretch, hiring a checked fencing contractor in Leeds might be worth the investment.
  • Do contractors supply materials, or should I buy them separately?

    Some fencing contractors supply materials and others don’t. Make sure you ask about materials before hiring a fencing contractor in Leeds for your project.

    An experienced fence installer can offer advice on the best materials for your needs, even if they do not provide a supply service themselves.

    Many fencing contractors offer an ‘all in one’ service and will include labour and material costs on your project quote. That being said, it is always best to ask to avoid any confusion or issues later down the line.

  • What time of year is fencing cheapest?

    Off-peak seasons (typically autumn and winter) are when fencing costs may be cheaper. Contractors may offer better availability and prices when demand dips.

    But keep in mind:

    • Cold or wet weather can slow things down
    • Materials may be harder to source during winter
    • Summer and spring bring better weather, but higher demand

    If you’re flexible with timings, booking during the quieter months could be a win for your wallet.
