About Fencing in Witham
Witham is a market town in Essex that grew up around a Saxon burh built by Edward the Elder in the tenth century as part of a defensive network against Viking raids, and its street layout still hints at that early planned settlement.

Closeboard fencing typically runs £90 to £160 per metre fitted, lap panels £70 to £125 per metre, and post and rail £40 to £70 per metre.

Types of Materials found in Witham
Witham sits within the London Basin on London Clay, the dense, water retentive clay that dominates much of southern Essex's geology, laid down over several million years in what was once a tropical marine environment. This clay holds water well and can be slow to drain after sustained rain, though it generally provides a stable base for standard fence post footings once concrete has had time to set. Ground closer to the River Brain running through the town can be somewhat softer, with alluvial deposits typical of small river valleys in this part of Essex.

Is the ground in Witham suitable for fence posts?
Most of Witham sits on London Clay, which holds water and can be slow draining after rain, though it generally provides a stable base once concrete footings have set. Ground near the River Brain can be somewhat softer.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Witham?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Witham. Braintree Council can confirm any extra rules for properties in conservation areas around the historic centre.
Does Witham's weather affect fencing choices?
Witham sits in the relatively dry south east of England, though the local clay soil retains moisture well after the rain that does fall, so pressure treated timber and solid footings are a sensible choice.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Witham?
Braintree 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.
