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 New Milton
New fences for New Milton homes
New Milton is mostly 20th-century family homes and bungalows, with older houses around Old Milton and the station, estates through Ashley and Fernhill, a lot of retirement bungalows and flats in Barton on Sea, and bigger plots with long boundaries out towards Bashley and Wootton.
Planning and boundaries in New Milton
New Forest District Council handles planning in New Milton and Barton on Sea, while Wootton and the Forest edge to the north sit inside the New Forest National Park, so the National Park Authority deals with those. If you're unsure about a front boundary, check before changing it.
Built for local conditions
Much of the ground round New Milton and Barton is clay, so post holes hold water and timber posts sit in the wet all winter. Gardens near the cliff top at Barton on Sea take the wind and salt straight off the sea, 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 New Milton
A new back fence on a long garden out towards Bashley or Wootton, or a sturdier replacement for a tired estate fence in Ashley, 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.
