About Fencing in Kingston upon Thames

Types of Materials found in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston sits within the Thames valley, where river terrace deposits of sand and gravel overlie London Clay, giving generally better drainage than areas sitting purely on the clay found further into central London. Ground closer to the Thames itself can be softer, with alluvial deposits typical of the river floodplain, while higher ground away from the immediate riverside tends to be firmer, benefiting from the gravel terraces typical of this stretch of the Thames valley.

Is the ground in Kingston upon Thames suitable for fence posts?
Ground here generally benefits from river terrace gravel deposits, giving better drainage than areas on pure London Clay, though land right by the Thames can be softer with floodplain alluvial deposits.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Kingston upon Thames?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Kingston upon Thames. Kingston Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near the historic town centre.
Does Kingston's riverside position affect fencing choices?
Properties close to the Thames can be more prone to damp ground and occasional flood risk, worth factoring into fence post depth and material choice if your garden sits near the river.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Kingston upon Thames?
Kingston 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.
