Fence Installation in Stirling

The cost of fence installation depends on the length of the run, the type of fencing, ground conditions, and whether old fencing needs removing. As a rough guide, a standard timber panel fence typically costs between £80 and £120 per metre installed, including posts and materials. We provide free, detailed quotes for all fencing work in Stirling, Falkirk, and across the surrounding area.

In most cases, residential boundary fences under 2 metres in height do not require planning permission in Scotland. However, there are exceptions. If your property is a listed building, in a conservation area, a new-build with planning conditions, or if the fence is next to a road or public footpath, different rules may apply. We can advise during your free site visit and recommend checking with Stirling or Falkirk council if there is any doubt.

We install timber panel fencing, feather edge (closeboard) fencing, overlap board fencing, post-and-rail fencing, and decorative privacy fencing. We also supply and fit matching gates and posts. Each type suits different needs. Closeboard fencing offers the best strength and wind resistance, while panel fencing is a popular and cost-effective choice for most garden boundaries.

Yes. Storm damage repairs are one of the most common reasons customers across Stirling, Falkirk, Alloa, and Dunblane contact us. We can replace broken posts and panels, straighten leaning sections, or install a full new fence where the damage is beyond repair. We aim for same-day or next-day assessment and get most storm repairs completed within a few days.

In most cases, yes. We source panels, posts, and timber to match your existing fence as closely as possible. If an exact match is not available, for example if your fence is an older style no longer in production, we will advise on the nearest alternative and show you the options before starting work.

A well-installed timber fence using pressure-treated wood and concrete posts will typically last 15 to 20 years in Scotland's climate. Feather edge (closeboard) fencing tends to last longer than panel fencing because individual boards can be replaced without removing the whole panel. Regular treatment with a wood preservative can extend the life further.

Yes. We remove old or damaged fencing, dig out rotten posts, and dispose of all waste responsibly. The ground is prepared before the new fence goes in, and the area is left clean and tidy on completion. Removal and disposal costs are included in our quotes.

Feather edge (closeboard) fencing is the strongest and most wind-resistant option for garden boundaries. Each board is individually nailed to horizontal rails, making the fence more flexible in high winds compared to solid panels. It is our most recommended fencing type for exposed or elevated properties in Stirling, Bridge of Allan, and Dunblane.
