About Fencing in Hornchurch
Hornchurch sits within the London Borough of Havering, its name taken from the horned bull's head carved above the door of its parish church, one of the more unusual church decorations in the country. The area was home to RAF Hornchurch, a fighter airfield that played a significant role during the Battle of Britain, and the former airfield site is now partly parkland. Housing today is largely interwar semi detached and postwar estate development. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering postcodes RM11 and RM12.

Closeboard fencing typically runs £100 to £175 per metre fitted, lap panels £80 to £135 per metre, and post and rail £45 to £80 per metre. A standard 20 to 25 metre garden boundary usually costs between £2,600 and £5,000.
Types of Materials found in Hornchurch
Hornchurch sits on London Clay, the dense, water retentive clay that underlies much of outer east London and southern Essex. This clay holds moisture well and can be slow draining after sustained rain, a common feature of the wider Thames valley geology stretching from Romford towards Basildon. Ground closer to local watercourses and lower lying areas can be more saturated after wet periods, so fence posts on these plots may benefit from slightly deeper or wider concrete footings than on higher, better drained ground.

Is the ground in Hornchurch suitable for fence posts?
Most of Hornchurch sits on London Clay, which holds moisture well and can be slow draining after sustained rain, typical of the wider outer east London area. Lower lying ground near watercourses can be more saturated.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Hornchurch?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Hornchurch. Havering Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Hornchurch's weather affect fencing choices?
Hornchurch sits in the relatively dry south east, though London Clay retains what rain does fall for longer than sandier soils, so pressure treated timber and solid footings are a sensible choice.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Hornchurch?
Havering 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.
