Fencers in Consett.
Local fence installation in Consett and Stanley. Whether you need a single panel replacing after a storm, a full garden run or a multi-house developer plot, Fencingnortheast's team handles it: closeboard, panel or post-and-rail, supplied AND built.
What sets the install apart: West Durham catches weather coming off the moors — colder, wetter, more exposed than the coast. Fence treatment matters: untreated will rot fast, and a cap rail on top is worth the extra few quid for any exposed run. Some Lanchester and Castleside plots back onto open fields with livestock, so we'll spec stock-proof boards (closeboard with no gaps) rather than panel.
What our Consett fencers do
Closeboard fence install
Standard 6ft closeboard runs — concrete-set 4×3 or 4×4 posts, two rails, gravel board, sized boards in a tight line. The default for most Consett back gardens.
Closeboard quote →Panel fence install
Lap or overlap panels between concrete or timber posts — usually faster than closeboard and a tighter fit for budget-led Consett jobs.
Panel quote →Fence repairs in Consett
Storm-damage panels, broken posts, leaning fences, gate post repairs. Same-week call-out for most Consett postcodes.
Repair quote →Gate supply and hanging
Garden gates, drive gates, double-gate frames. Hung true, posted properly. Available alongside fence installs or standalone.
Gate quote →Composite decking installs
Low-maintenance composite decks across Consett. Hollow-core or solid boards, hidden-fix clips, treated subframe.
Decking quote →Supply only

West Durham catches weather coming off the moors — colder, wetter, more exposed than the coast. Fence treatment matters: untreated will rot fast, and a cap rail on top is worth the extra few quid for any exposed run. Some Lanchester and Castleside plots back onto open fields with livestock, so we'll spec stock-proof boards (closeboard with no gaps) rather than panel.

Common questions for Consett fencers
Do you supply post-and-rail and stock fencing for Consett farms?
Yes — by quote. Post-and-rail is standard 100×50mm or 75×38mm rails on 4×4 posts, treated. For stock-proof closeboard we use overlap board with no gaps. Bigger orders (50m+) get trade pricing — ring the yard.
How long does a fence install in Consett usually take?
A standard 15–25m run of 6ft closeboard takes a two-person team about a day. Bigger runs, or jobs with old fence to take out, run to 2 or 3 days. We confirm the time estimate in writing on the quote so there's no surprise.
How much does fence installation cost in Consett?
Most domestic 5–6ft closeboard fence installs in Consett land in the £45–£95 per metre range supplied and built — final figure depends on height, post section, ground condition, access and any old fence to clear. We can price to budget where the scope flexes. Get a quote and we'll come back with a real number.
Do you install panel fencing or just closeboard in Consett?
Both. Closeboard runs longer and weathers better; panels go in faster and cost less. Most Consett jobs go closeboard, but we'll quote either way and explain the trade-off.
Can you do storm-damage repairs in Consett?
Yes — single panels, broken posts, leaning fences, gate damage. Send a photo via the repair form with your postcode. We usually quote from photos for simple jobs and book inside the same week.
Trade pricing for builders in Consett?
Yes. Open a trade account for net terms and trade rates. Phone the yard on 0191 695 1984.
