About Fencing in Moffat
Moffat is a small town in Dumfries and Galloway that grew into a fashionable spa destination after a mineral spring was discovered in 1633, its sulphurous, saline waters believed at the time to help with skin conditions, gout and rheumatism. The town remained a popular tourist centre once the railways arrived, and today its wide High Street and surrounding hill country continue to draw visitors.

Types of Materials found in Moffat
Moffat sits on red sandstone bedrock, visible in the red soils of the surrounding ploughed fields and in many of the town's older buildings, geology that has been considerably reshaped by glacial action over thousands of years. This glacial activity rounded off much of the local topography, most dramatically visible at the Devil's Beef Tub, a deep glacial valley just north of the town. Ground in Moffat itself is generally firm, sandstone derived soil, though the surrounding hill country can have more variable conditions depending on drainage and slope.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Moffat?

Dumfries and Galloway 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.
