About Fencing in Runcorn
Runcorn was designated a new town in 1964, and much of its housing and road layout dates from the planned expansion that followed, built around the older historic centre that had grown up on the Mersey where the estuary narrows sharply at Runcorn Gap. Two crossings now link the town to Widnes across the water, the older Silver Jubilee Bridge and the newer Mersey Gateway. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the WA7 postcode area. With a mix of new town estates, canal side development and older streets, local tradespeople listed here can advise on the right fencing for your property and offer a free quote.

Types of Materials found in Runcorn
Runcorn sits at Runcorn Gap, where the Mersey estuary narrows dramatically, constricted by a sandstone ridge that forms part of the Mid Cheshire ridge system running south towards Frodsham and beyond. Ground closer to the historic town centre and the ridge tends to be firmer, with sandstone bedrock closer to the surface, while the flatter new town areas and land nearer the estuary generally sit on glacial till and alluvial deposits, which hold water more and can be slower draining after rain.

Is the ground in Runcorn suitable for fence posts?
Ground near the historic centre and sandstone ridge tends to be firmer, while flatter new town areas and land closer to the estuary generally sit on glacial till that holds water more and drains slower after rain.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Runcorn?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Runcorn. Halton Borough Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Runcorn's position on the Mersey affect fencing?
Being at Runcorn Gap, where the estuary narrows, some parts of town can be exposed to funnelled wind off the water, so pressure treated timber and galvanised fixings tend to last longer here.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Runcorn?
Halton Borough Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many Runcorn fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
