Fencing in Leckhampton
We install and repair garden fencing across Leckhampton, from the Bath Road terraces to the 1950s estates at Warden Hill. Closeboard, panel replacement, composite, gates and decking. The ground changes fast here: wet Lias clay in the lower gardens, then sand, gravel and limestone brash as the land rises towards Leckhampton Hill. We check the ground before we quote a fence line.
The houses and gardens in Leckhampton
The parish is two settlements with Leckhampton Fields between them: the village and suburban Warden Hill. North and west are 19th-century artisan terraces, built as Cheltenham's South Town spread along the new Bath Road and up to Pilley. Those gardens are long and narrow with neighbours close on both sides, so materials often come through the house or down a side passage and there is no room for a machine. The village is part Regency and Victorian, part post-1960s, with some older dwellings and the medieval Leckhampton Court giving it a rural feel. Warden Hill is 1950s suburban, with later building on its south side down to Up Hatherley Way and post-1980 houses along Farm Lane. Those plots have regular rear boundaries shared with two or three neighbours.
Digging in Leckhampton: the practical bit
The lower suburb sits on Charmouth Mudstone, the Lower Lias clay. Holes hold water all winter and set hard in a dry August, so posts need a concrete collar. Across the scarp-foot apron the Cheltenham Sand and Gravel takes over, up to 15 m thick and varying widely over short distances, so two holes in one garden can dig differently. Nearer the hill it is shallow soil over Inferior Oolite limestone, and a breaker comes out of the van. On the Bath Road terraces, access is through the house. Cheltenham Borough Council is the planning authority, and its one Article 4 direction covers HMOs in St Paul's ward, so it has no bearing on fences. South towards Shurdington the borough boundary runs out, so we check that before quoting.
The boundaries you already have
Leckhampton supplied the stone that built much of Cheltenham. The hill's golden limestone went into the Royal Crescent and the Montpellier Rotunda, and extraction ended in 1912, so the village and the approaches to the hill have Cotswold limestone walls where other suburbs have panels. That gives three jobs. Fencing up to and off an existing stone wall without disturbing it. Brick and rendered walls with railings along the Bath Road corridor, where a timber run has to sit behind the wall line. And straight closeboard and panel work across the 1950s Warden Hill estates and the Farm Lane infill.

Fencing services in Leckhampton
Every service we offer is available across Leckhampton, at the same guide prices we publish everywhere.
Closeboard fencing
Feather-edge boards built board by board onto concrete or timber posts, so the fence holds its line and single boards can be replaced.
Fence repair
Snapped posts and storm-blown panels put right across Cheltenham, with an honest read on whether repairing beats replacing.
Panel replacement
Failed panels swapped into your existing posts, matched to the height of the run, with the old panels taken away on the day.
Composite fencing
Wood-plastic composite panels on aluminium posts, fitted so your boundary needs a wash down instead of re-staining every other spring.
Garden gates
Side gates and driveway pairs, hung on oversized posts set in concrete, so the leaf keeps its swing and the latch still catches.
Decking
Timber and composite decking built on a sub-frame that drains and breathes, so the deck stays solid underfoot years after it is laid.
