Fencers in Gateshead.
Need a fence contractor in Gateshead? We install, supply and repair fencing across Gateshead — typically Gateshead is a real mix — we'll be on a 70s semi-detached garden in Low Fell one morning and a new-build estate run in Marley Hill the next. Long closeboard runs are the bread and butter. We see a fair bit of repair work on the older Felling and Wrekenton estates after winter, and trade supply to local landscapers covering the Whickham and Sunniside villages.
For repairs, photo us the damage and your postcode — most single-panel or single-post jobs we can quote from photos alone.
What our Gateshead 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 Gateshead 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 Gateshead jobs.
Panel quote →Fence repairs in Gateshead
Storm-damage panels, broken posts, leaning fences, gate post repairs. Same-week call-out for most Gateshead postcodes.
Repair quote →Gate supply and hanging
Garden gates, drive gates, double-gate frames. Hung true, posted properly. Available alongside fence installs or standalone.

Gateshead's hilly — Sheriff Hill and Low Fell sit high enough to catch the weather off the Tyne, so post depth matters more here than in the lower flats. We use 4×4 posts on most exposed runs and concrete-set as standard. Clay soil in pockets around Springwell needs rapid-set postcrete to set properly before back-filling.
Areas we install in: Low Fell, Felling, Wrekenton, Sheriff Hill, Dunston, Whickham, Marley Hill, Sunniside, Springwell, Wardley, Bensham. Plus surrounding villages and postcodes (NE8–NE11, NE16, NE21). If you're not sure if we cover you, drop your postcode in the quote form.
Common questions for Gateshead fencers
What's the best post spec for the higher Gateshead streets like Sheriff Hill?
For anything above 6ft on an exposed boundary up the hill, we recommend 4×4 (100×100mm) posts concrete-set 600mm deep with a gravel board underneath. The 4×3 we use lower down works fine for sheltered gardens but flexes more in proper Tyneside wind.
How long does a fence install in Gateshead 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 Gateshead?
Most domestic 5–6ft closeboard fence installs in Gateshead 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 Gateshead?
Both. Closeboard runs longer and weathers better; panels go in faster and cost less. Most Gateshead jobs go closeboard, but we'll quote either way and explain the trade-off.
Can you do storm-damage repairs in Gateshead?
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.

Yes. Open a trade account for net terms and trade rates. Phone the yard on 0191 695 1984.
