Fencing in Keighley: what matters locally
Gardens on the valley sides, from Long Lee and Utley up to Haworth and Oakworth, take the full force of the wind off the moors. That's why so many panels come down in winter storms. Well-set posts, concrete or deeper footings, and the right panel style make the difference between a fence that lasts and one you replace every few years.
Many older properties already have stone walls on part of the boundary, so the new fence often has to meet or sit behind the wall rather than replace it.
Keighley has several conservation areas, including Haworth, Oakworth, Low Utley and the town centre. In a conservation area you need planning permission to knock down a wall, fence or gate over 1 metre high next to a road, or over 2 metres elsewhere, so check before you remove an old boundary.

Fencing questions from Keighley
My panels keep blowing down. What can be done?
Usually it's the posts or the panel style, not bad luck. Concrete posts, deeper footings and slatted or hit-and-miss panels that let some wind through all help in exposed spots. Tell the fencer how often it's happened and they can suggest the right fix.
Is this free for me?
Yes. You never pay us. The fencer pays us for introductions, and you deal with them directly for the quote and the work.
Who will contact me?
One local fencer, named on the form before you send anything. We never pass your details to more than one business, and we never sell them on.
How high can my fence be without planning permission?
Up to 2 metres in most places. Next to a road used by vehicles, or the pavement beside one, the limit is 1 metre. Higher than that needs planning permission, and so does any fence around a listed building. Some estates and conservation areas have extra restrictions, so check if you're unsure.
Which fence is mine, left or right?
There's no rule that it's always the left-hand one. Ownership is shown on your title deeds or plan, often with 'T' marks, and you can get a copy from HM Land Registry. If the deeds say nothing, agree it with your neighbour before replacing a shared fence.
Timber or concrete posts?
Concrete posts don't rot and suit exposed gardens. Timber posts look softer and are easier to fix later. Plenty of people use concrete posts and gravel boards with timber panels. The fencer can tell you what suits your ground and how windy your garden is.
