About Fencing in Blyth
Blyth grew into one of England's busiest coal ports, shipping over six million tons of coal a year at its peak in the early 1960s from collieries across south east Northumberland. The town's identity remains closely tied to this maritime and industrial past, with the harbour still a working part of the town today and a line of offshore wind turbines now visible from the beach. Housing ranges from older terraces near the harbour to newer estates further inland. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the NE24 postcode area.

Types of Materials found in Blyth
Blyth sits within the Northumberland Coalfield, where Coal Measures sandstone, shale and coal seams lie beneath the town, extensively mined until the last local colliery closed in 2005. Above this bedrock, most residential ground is glacial boulder clay, common across the wider North East coast, which holds water and can drain slowly after sustained rain. Being a coastal town, ground closer to the harbour and seafront can include historic made up land linked to the port's industrial development.

Is the ground in Blyth suitable for fence posts?
Most of Blyth sits on glacial boulder clay over former coal mining bedrock, holding water and draining slowly. Ground near the harbour and seafront can include historic made up land from the port's industrial development.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Blyth?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Blyth. Northumberland County Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Blyth's coastal position affect fencing choices?
Being a coastal town, Blyth properties can be exposed to strong winds and salt laden air off the North Sea, so pressure treated timber and galvanised fixings tend to last longer than untreated materials.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Blyth?
Northumberland County Council operates household waste recycling centres in the area that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
