Fencers in South Shields.
Local fence installation in South Shields and South Tyneside. 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: If you're east of the A19, treat it as a proper coastal job — capped boards, 4×4 posts, gravel boards mandatory, and stainless or galvanised fixings instead of steel. Marsden in particular gets battered in any northerly. Inland (Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon) is sheltered enough to use the standard spec without the cap rail.
What our South Shields 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 South Shields 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 South Shields jobs.
Panel quote →Fence repairs in South Shields
Storm-damage panels, broken posts, leaning fences, gate post repairs. Same-week call-out for most South Shields postcodes.
Repair quote →Gate supply and hanging
Garden gates, drive gates, double-gate frames. Hung true, posted properly. Available alongside fence installs or standalone.

Low-maintenance composite decks across South Shields. Hollow-core or solid boards, hidden-fix clips, treated subframe.

Common questions for South Shields fencers
What fence handles Marsden and Whitburn coastal weather best?
Closeboard with overlap is best — boards lock together so wind can't catch a single board. 4×4 pressure-treated posts at 1.8m spacing, gravel board under every run, and a horizontal cap rail to stop water sitting on the board ends. Spec done right, a coastal closeboard fence will see 20+ years.
How long does a fence install in South Shields 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 South Shields?
Most domestic 5–6ft closeboard fence installs in South Shields 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 South Shields?
Both. Closeboard runs longer and weathers better; panels go in faster and cost less. Most South Shields jobs go closeboard, but we'll quote either way and explain the trade-off.
Can you do storm-damage repairs in South Shields?
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.
