A free guide to fencing and your boundary rights

“Which fencing am I responsible for?”

“What fencing do I have to pay for?”

“What are the rules for garden fencing?”

Garden fencing throws up a surprising number of questions and understandably so. It’s not the kind of thing most people need to think about until something goes wrong. Whether it’s storm damage, a broken panel, or a boundary dispute, the questions tend to arrive at the worst possible moment, when you need answers quickly and the stakes feel higher than they should. Boundary fence rules can be confusing so we’re here to help.

So, to answer these questions and other common questions such as;

  • Where do I put my fencing?
  • What can I do if my neighbour’s fence is falling down?
  • What are the rules on fencing height?

We’ve put together a free guide to boundary fencing rules and your boundary rights.

It contains all the information that you need to stay on the right side of your neighbours and of the law.

Thank you to Shane and the lads who recently erected my 2 metre fencing. The lads worked hard even though the weather was against them. Thanks again. I will definitely be using Knights fencing in the future. Joy Edwards 😊

First class products, professional attention and thoroughly reliable. Brilliant!

New side gate and panel fitted at the back garden. Good quality materials and the gate looks smashing. Although it took a few weeks between accepting the quote and the work being done it was worth the wait. Used KF in the past and would do again.

Straightforward job but very efficiently done. The team arrived while we were out but contacted us by phone and were happy to carry on as requested.

I couldn’t be happier with my new fence! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and attentive to every detail. They offered expert advice on the best materials and design for my property, and the installation was seamless. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding, and it has truly transformed the look of my garden. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality fencing. Excellent service and amazing results!

This is the first time I have used Knight Fencing Ltd. I accepted a thorough quotation from their Contracts Manager Shane Hammond for the following. "To supply and install 7 linear meters of new 1200mm high green chainlink fencing to be joined in with an older existing chainlink fence complete with new green posts and end strainer concreted into the ground." The work involved the strimming of the boundary and the removal of part of an existing established tree. All the work was completed on one working day by Zac and Reece to a very high standard. All the old fencing, posts, garden waste and tree material were removed in a thorough and careful way. The garden was left in good condition. Zac and Reece worked very conscientiously and offered additional practical advice which I accepted. I believe the overall project was good value for money and would consider approaching Knight Fencing Ltd again in the future. John Blackwell.

We had to replace our garden fencing and gate recently. Having looked at a few fencing companies and the reviews they had received, we chose Knight Fencing Ltd. It was an easy decision, from the moment we originally contacted them to discuss our requirements to completion of the works. Their professionalism throughout was excellent. There were many obstacles to overcome and these were considered and undertaken with no fuss. Whilst we had already chosen to use Jackson Fencing products, Knight Fencing arranged everything with them. The installation team were very professional, polite and considerate. We have no hesitation in recommending Knight Fencing Ltd.
