About Fencing in Maldon
Maldon in Essex is the second oldest town in the county, granted its Royal Charter in 1171, and it is perhaps best remembered for the Battle of Maldon in 991 AD, when Anglo Saxon defenders led by Byrhtnoth were defeated by Viking raiders in a clash later immortalised in one of the earliest surviving pieces of English poetry. The town's quay is still home to a fleet of Thames sailing barges, once used to carry salt, hay and straw along the coast, and Maldon's salt making tradition stretches back some 2,000 years.

Is the ground in Maldon suitable for fence posts?
Ground near the Blackwater estuary can be soft and alluvial, so deeper footings or extra postcrete are often recommended for stability.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Maldon?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Maldon. Maldon District Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Maldon's coastal weather affect fencing choices?
Salt laden estuary air can accelerate corrosion of metal fittings, so galvanised or stainless steel fixings and well treated timber are recommended near the waterfront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Maldon?
Essex 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.
