Fence Installation in Lymington
Lymington sits on the edge of the New Forest where the river meets the Solent, and we cover the town along with Pennington, Milford on Sea, Everton, Hordle, Boldre and Sway. 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 Lymington
New fences for Lymington homes
Lymington has Georgian and Victorian town houses up the High Street and old cottages down by the Quay, 1960s to 1980s estates and semis through Pennington, Buckland and Woodside, plenty of bungalows in Milford on Sea, Everton and Hordle, and bigger plots with long boundaries out towards Boldre and Sway.
Planning and boundaries in Lymington
New Forest District Council handles planning in Lymington, Pennington and Milford on Sea, while Sway and Boldre are inside the New Forest National Park, so the National Park Authority deals with those. The old town centre and parts of Milford on Sea are conservation areas, so check before changing a front boundary there.
Built for local conditions
A lot of the ground round Lymington and Pennington is gravel sitting on clay, so the top digs easily but the bottom of the hole holds water, and timber posts sit in wet clay all winter. Gardens facing the marshes at Pennington and Keyhaven, and along the cliff top at Milford on Sea, take the south-westerlies straight off the Solent, salt and all, 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.

Typical fence installation jobs in Lymington
A new back fence on a long garden in Sway or Boldre, or a sturdier replacement for a tired estate fence in Pennington, usually with concrete posts and gravel boards to keep the timber off the wet ground.
Every fence is different, so the quickest way to a price is a few photos and a rough measurement. We'll tell you honestly whether fence installation is the right fix or whether something else makes more sense.
Frequently asked questions: Fence installation Lymington
Do you cover Milford on Sea, Sway and the villages?
Yes. We cover SO41, including Lymington town, Pennington, Buckland, Milford on Sea, Keyhaven, Everton, Hordle, Boldre and Sway.
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.
Can you remove my old fence?
Yes. Removing and disposing of the old fence can be included in your quote.
Our garden faces the Solent and the fence keeps blowing down. What helps?
Concrete posts set deep enough, sturdy panels and galvanised fixings make a big difference on an exposed spot. Send us photos and we'll suggest what suits your garden.
Do I need permission for a new fence in Lymington?
New Forest District Council handles planning in Lymington, Pennington and Milford on Sea, while Sway and Boldre are inside the New Forest National Park, so the National Park Authority deals with those.
