About Fencing in Manchester
Manchester grew from the world's first industrialised city, its cotton mills and canals once powering an empire of trade, into the large, diverse city it is today, with a skyline that mixes Victorian warehouses with modern towers around Spinningfields and Deansgate. The wider city spreads out through very different neighbourhoods, from the dense terraces of Rusholme and Longsight to leafier suburbs towards Didsbury and Chorlton. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering postcodes across the M postcode area, including M1 in the city centre out through M20. Given the sheer range of housing types across Manchester, local tradespeople listed here can advise on what suits your specific street and offer a free quote.
Average Installation cost in Manchester
Fencing costs in Manchester vary by area but generally sit close to the wider North West average, with more affluent southern suburbs such as Didsbury and Chorlton often at the higher end. Closeboard fencing typically runs £85 to £155 per metre fitted, lap panels £65 to £125 per metre, and post and rail £35 to £70 per metre. A standard 20 to 25 metre garden boundary usually costs between £2,000 and £4,200.
Types of Materials found in Manchester
Manchester sits on ground the British Geological Survey describes as predominantly glacial till, boulder clay, overlying Carboniferous sandstone and mudstone bedrock. In the river valleys, including along the Mersey and Irwell, softer alluvial clays and sands and gravels are common, while the till dominated higher ground away from the rivers tends to be firmer, though still capable of holding water after sustained rain. Given the scale and age of the city, some inner areas also have made up ground from historic building and industrial use, so ground conditions should be checked on a site by site basis rather than assumed uniform across such a large city.

How much does fencing cost in Manchester?

Is the ground in Manchester suitable for fence posts?
Most of Manchester sits on glacial boulder clay over sandstone and mudstone bedrock, with softer alluvial ground near the Mersey and Irwell rivers. Inner city areas can also have made up ground from historic development, so a site check is worthwhile before digging.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Manchester?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Manchester. Manchester City Council can confirm any extra rules for properties in conservation areas, common in parts of Didsbury and the city centre.
Does Manchester's weather affect fencing choices?
Manchester has a reputation for rain, and while this is somewhat exaggerated, the city does see regular rainfall through autumn and winter, making pressure treated timber and solid concrete footings a sensible choice for most gardens.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Manchester?
Manchester City Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove and dispose of your old fence as part of the installation.
