About Fencing in Birmingham
Birmingham grew from a small market town into England's second largest city, powered through the Industrial Revolution by its position at the centre of a dense canal network, giving it more miles of canal than Venice, a fact the city is fond of pointing out. The Bull Ring has been a trading site for centuries, now home to a modern shopping centre alongside older market traditions. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the B1 postcode area and the wider city.

Types of Materials found in Birmingham
Birmingham sits on what geologists call the Birmingham Plateau, a raised area underlain by Triassic sandstone, quartzite and pebble deposits laid down in desert conditions over 200 million years ago. This sandstone base generally gives firmer, better draining ground across much of the city than the clay found in many other English cities, though river valleys including the Tame and Rea have softer alluvial deposits, and some inner city areas have made up ground from the city's long industrial history.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Birmingham?

Does Birmingham's weather affect fencing choices?
Birmingham has a fairly typical Midlands climate, moderate rainfall spread through the year, so standard pressure treated timber and solidly concreted posts generally perform well.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Birmingham?
Birmingham City Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
