Fence Installation in Christchurch
Christchurch sits just east of Bournemouth, where the Avon and the Stour meet the harbour, and we cover the town along with Mudeford, Highcliffe and the villages around it. When a fence is past repair, or you need a new boundary, we'll install a complete new fence: posts, panels and gravel boards set out along the line you agree with your neighbours.

Contacted SC Maintenance for fence repairs. William was friendly and communicated well throughout. The work was scheduled quickly, and I’m very happy with the results. Would recommend.
Why fence installation matters in Christchurch
New fences for Christchurch homes
Christchurch has older streets and cottages around the Priory and the quay, bungalows and family homes through Mudeford, Friars Cliff and Highcliffe, post-war and newer estates at Somerford and Jumpers, and village plots out towards Burton and Bransgore.
Planning and boundaries in Christchurch
BCP Council handles planning in Christchurch, and the old town around the Priory is a conservation area, so check before changing a front boundary there. Bransgore comes under New Forest District Council.
Built for local conditions
A lot of Christchurch is low-lying ground between the two rivers and the harbour, so gardens can stay wet for long spells and timber posts rot quickly at the base. Homes near Mudeford and along the Highcliffe cliff top also take salty sea wind, which is hard on panels and fixings.
Our fence installation process
- 1
Photos & measurements
Send the length, height you want and photos of the line. We'll talk you through post and panel options.
- 2
Remove the old fence
We take down and take away the old fence, posts and footings where needed.
- 3
Set posts & fit panels
Posts are set in concrete to a string line, and gravel boards and panels are fitted as we go.
- 4
Final check & tidy
We check the line and levels, and clear up so the garden is left tidy.
Is fence installation right for your fence?
It usually suits when:
- Several posts and panels have failed at once
- You're moving into a property with a poor or missing boundary
- You want more privacy, height or security
- You'd like a longer-lasting fence with concrete posts and gravel boards
When something else is better:
Before we start, you'll need to know where the boundary is and, for anything over 2 metres (or over 1 metre next to a road), whether planning permission is needed. We'll point you in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions: Fence installation Christchurch
Do you cover Mudeford, Highcliffe and Burton?
Yes. We cover BH23, including Christchurch town, Mudeford, Highcliffe, Friars Cliff, Somerford, Burton, Walkford and Bransgore.
Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
Usually not for garden fences up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Check the Planning Portal or your council if you're unsure, or if you're in a conservation area or listed building.
Who owns the fence on my boundary?
Your deeds or title plan may show it. If it's unclear, agree the line with your neighbour before we start.
Our garden gets waterlogged in winter. What fence lasts best?
Concrete posts and concrete gravel boards keep the timber out of the wet ground, which usually gives the fence a much longer life than timber posts set straight into soggy soil.
Do I need permission for a new fence in Christchurch?
BCP Council handles planning in Christchurch, and the old town around the Priory is a conservation area, so check before changing a front boundary there. Bransgore comes under New Forest District Council.
