We are Fence Forge, fence installers of wooden & composite fencing for residential and commercial customers across the North East & North Yorkshire. Whether you need a new fence around your garden, a damaged panel replaced after a storm, or security fencing at a commercial premises, our professional team handles the full job from start to finish.
Around 14 million UK households have private gardens. That means millions of fence panels, fence posts, and gravel boards need fitting, repairing, or replacing every single year. We see it first-hand. Strong winds and storms drive thousands of fence replacements each year, and homeowners across the country need fencing contractors they can trust to turn up, do good work, and leave the place tidy.
At Fence Forge, we take great pride in every fencing project we do. From the initial contact through to the finished job, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We work with closeboard panels, composite materials, concrete posts, concrete gravel boards, gates, and a range of fencing solutions. Our fencing services are a professional service that takes care of everything, from a single panel swap to a full garden boundary job with decking and landscaping.
Choosing a fencing company can feel like a coin flip. You search online, find fencing contractors near you, read a few reviews, and hope for the best. We built Fence Forge as a fencing company that does things differently.
We are experienced fencing contractors who have worked on hundreds of garden fencing jobs across the North East & North Yorkshire. Every member of our team has hands-on knowledge of different fencing styles, ground conditions, and materials. We are not a call centre or a middleman. When you contact us, you speak to people who actually do the work on your property.
As a fencing company, we supply everything as part of our service. That includes fence panels, concrete posts, concrete slotted posts, gravel boards, concrete gravel boards, and gates. You do not need to source any materials yourself. We also keep labour prices separate so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Our fencing services are not limited to garden fencing installation. We do commercial fencing for business premises, schools, and industrial sites. Whether a company needs secure perimeter fencing or a homeowner wants to improve privacy, we have the right fencing for the job.
Feather edge fencing, also known as closeboard fencing, remains one of the most widely fitted fencing styles in the UK. It gives you a solid, strong garden boundary with no gaps. Privacy is one of the biggest reasons homeowners choose fencing, and closeboard panels deliver exactly that.
We fit closeboard panels using concrete posts and concrete gravel boards as standard for most jobs. This combination gives the fence a much longer life and keeps the overall cost of future repairs down. The gravel boards lift the panels off the ground, which stops rot before it starts.
Feather edge fencing is also one of the best options if your garden has uneven or sloping ground. Unlike pre-made fence panels, closeboard fencing can be built on site and shaped to follow the contour of the land. That is why experienced fencing contractors like us often recommend this style for gardens that are not perfectly flat.
If you are looking for budget-friendly garden fencing, overlap fence panels are hard to beat. Lap panel fencing uses horizontal boards that slightly overlap each other to create a traditional garden fence. It is one of the most common types of garden fencing in the UK.
Standard lap fence panels run between £20 and £50 each for materials. Fully fitted with posts and gravel boards, you can expect to pay around £60 to £90 per metre. These are rough guideline figures. Your quote from Fence Forge could be more or less depending on access and fence height.
We can replace damaged panels on a like-for-like basis, or we can fit a full run of new lap fence panels with concrete posts if you want something that lasts longer. Wooden fence panels of this type typically last around 10 to 15 years, though pressure-treated panels can go longer with regular care. The cost of lap panel fitting makes it one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking for fencing contractors who can deliver a fast, tidy job.
Composite fencing has become one of the fastest growing products in UK garden fencing. Search demand for composite fencing has risen sharply in recent years as more homeowners look for lower-maintenance alternatives to wood. We get asked about composite fencing more and more. The installation process is straightforward when you use the right people.
Composite fence panels are made from a mix of recycled wood fibres and plastic. They will not rot, warp, or need regular staining. Where wooden fence panels might last 10 to 15 years, composite fence panels can often last between 25 and 35 years with minimal effort.
Composite fencing does cost more upfront than timber. Based on current UK pricing, composite fence panels typically sit between £160 and £340 per panel (supply only). Fully fitted, most homeowners pay between £85 and £150 per metre. These are rough guideline figures and your Fence Forge quote could be more or less depending on the size of the job.
We supply composite fencing in a range of colours and finishes. If you want the look of wood without the regular upkeep, composite is worth considering for your garden or commercial premises.
Slatted fencing has grown in popularity among UK homeowners looking for a clean, modern garden look. Whether you go for horizontal or vertical slats, this style creates a striking finish that works well in both front and rear gardens.
We fit slatted fencing in timber and composite. Horizontal slatted fencing tends to suit modern, minimalist spaces, while vertical slats give a slightly more traditional feel. Both options offer good privacy depending on the gap size and board width.
More than 70% of UK homeowners say outdoor appearance matters to them. Slatted fencing is one of the best ways to improve how your outdoor space looks without spending a fortune.
Picket fencing is still one of the most searched-for fencing styles in the North East & North Yorkshire, especially for front boundaries. It helps define the line between your property and the pavement without blocking visibility or making a property feel closed off.
We fit picket fencing in several heights and styles. If you need fencing for the front of your property, picket fencing is a great option that adds kerb appeal and keeps things looking open and welcoming. We carry out fitting of all picket styles and can advise on which one gives the right balance of security and appearance.
Most residential fences in the North East & North Yorkshire can go up to 2 metres high without planning permission. Front fencing facing a public road is typically limited to 1 metre, so picket fencing fits perfectly within these rules.
If your property sits in an exposed or windy spot, hit and miss fencing is worth looking at. The boards are fixed alternately on either side of the panel, which allows wind to pass through rather than pushing the whole fence over.
Strong winds and storms are one of the most common reasons homeowners need to replace damaged panels. Hit and miss fencing reduces that risk and can save you money on repairs over the long run. We fit this style using both concrete posts and timber posts depending on your preference and budget. Whether it is a full job or a panel swap, we get it done right.
Trellis fencing is often used as a decorative topper on an existing fence to add height and style without making things feel closed in. It also works as a standalone boundary in some situations.
We supply trellis panels as part of our wider fencing services. If you want to add height to your fence but stay within the 2-metre planning limit, a trellis topper is one of the simplest and most affordable fencing solutions. Installation is quick and can often be done as part of a bigger fencing job.
Tongue and groove fencing is a step up from standard lap panels. The boards slot tightly together with no gaps at all, which makes it one of the best options for privacy. It also has a cleaner, more finished appearance.
Consumer surveys consistently show that privacy remains one of the top reasons UK homeowners invest in fencing. If privacy is your main priority, tongue and groove fence panels are well worth the cost.
We fit tongue and groove fence panels on concrete posts with concrete gravel boards for maximum life. The tight-fitting boards also help reduce noise pollution from neighbouring properties, which is a bonus if you live in a built-up local area. This is one of many fencing solutions we offer for homeowners who want quality and performance.
A fence looks incomplete without a proper gate. We supply garden gates in a range of styles to match your fencing. From simple side gates to tall, secure rear access gates, we have you sorted.
Standard timber gates typically run between £100 and £300 supplied. Composite gates are more expensive, usually between £300 and £600 depending on size and finish. These are rough guideline figures and your actual figure could be more or less. We fit gates as part of the wider job, so there is no need to find a separate company for gate installations.
Fencing is our main service, but we also carry out decking, landscaping, and fence upkeep. Spring and summer are peak seasons for this kind of work, and many customers combine fencing with decking or other garden improvements to get everything done in one project.
Not every job needs a full replacement. Sometimes you just need a few panels swapped or a leaning post shored up. We offer repair services for all types of fencing. If your existing fence just needs a few panels and a bit of attention, we can sort that for you quickly.
Regular upkeep can extend the life of a timber fence by several years. The UK imports large amounts of timber for fencing, and that timber needs looking after. A coat of treatment every couple of years makes a big difference to the quality and lifespan of your garden fencing.
We supply decking as part of our service. If you are upgrading your garden, combining a new fence with a decking space is one of the most popular ways to make the most of your outdoor space. We work with both timber and composite decking and can match them to your fencing. Decking and fencing together can completely change how your property looks and feels.

Feather edge fencing, closeboard fencing, and tongue and groove fence panels are among the best options for privacy because they create a solid boundary with minimal gaps. Composite fencing is also popular for homeowners wanting privacy with less upkeep.
Fitting typically costs from £80 to £180 per panel, depending on the fencing type, items used, labour, and whether old fencing needs removing. Composite fencing usually costs more than standard timber panels.
Composite fencing lasts longer and requires less attention than timber fencing, as it will not rot, warp, or need regular staining. Timber fencing is usually more affordable upfront and offers a more traditional appearance.
Most timber fencing lasts around 10 to 15 years when properly looked after, while pressure-treated fencing can last longer. Composite fencing can often last 20 years or more.
Hit and miss fencing is often recommended for windy areas because the gaps allow wind to pass through more easily, reducing pressure on the fence. Proper fitting with strong posts is also a must.
In most parts of the UK, fences can usually be up to 2 metres high without planning permission. Front fencing facing a road is typically limited to 1 metre. Always check with your local council for specific rules.
Most residential fencing projects do not require planning permission if they stay within standard height limits. Permission may be needed if your property is listed or located in a conservation area.
Fence replacement typically costs between £100 and £250 per panel depending on the type, access to the property, and whether disposal of old fencing is required.
Picket fencing, decorative fencing, and low-level slatted fencing are popular choices for front boundaries because they improve kerb appeal while still creating clear lines.
