Fencing in Billingham

Planned town, predictable fencing

Billingham was laid out as a planned town for the ICI workforce, and it shows in the fencing. Estates like Low Grange, Billingham Beck, Wolviston Court and Cowpen Bewley have consistent plot widths, level ground and rear gardens that need six to twelve bays.

Ageing boundaries, all at once

The flip side of a planned town is that whole streets fenced at the same time reach the end of their life together. Plenty of Billingham gardens are on their second or third boundary, and the buried concrete from previous posts is the hidden cost: digging out old bases takes longer than setting new ones. Our quotes include digging out the old concrete, because that is where the time goes.

Wind off the flats

North of the town towards Wolviston, Cowpen Bewley and the Haverton Hill flats, the land opens right up and there is very little between a garden and the weather. Solid panels take the full load, so concreted posts, gravel boards and either closeboard or a hit and miss run are the specifications worth pricing. The cost guide shows what each option adds over the length of a typical Billingham garden.

Frequently asked questions

How much does fencing cost in Billingham?

Closeboard on the same run costs more and lasts longer.

Does removing the old fence cost extra?

It should be in the price. On Billingham's second and third generation boundaries, digging out old concrete bases is real work, so check it is quoted rather than assumed.

What fence copes best with the wind up here?

Hit and miss or closeboard on concreted posts. Both let wind through or resist it structurally instead of acting like a sail.

Which parts of Billingham are covered?

All of TS22 and TS23: the town centre, Low Grange, Wolviston Court, Cowpen Bewley, Billingham Beck, Haverton Hill and out towards Wolviston village.
