Fencing in Tewkesbury
We install and repair garden fencing across Tewkesbury, from the alleyway gardens behind the Abbey to the estates at Mitton, Northway and Wheatpieces. Tewkesbury Borough Council is the planning authority. The old town sits on a gravel spit just above flood level where the Severn meets the Avon, and the ground changes as soon as you leave it. We quote with that in mind.
The houses and gardens in Tewkesbury
The old core along High Street, Church Street and Barton Street is medieval and Tudor timber framing, with Georgian and Victorian brick behind it and alleyways running back off the street. Rear plots there are small, walled and reached on foot. Mitton was a new estate when the borough was enlarged in 1965 to take it in from Bredon parish, Worcestershire, and a further Mitton housing scheme finished in the 2000s. Northway grew south-west of the old hamlet through the 1960s and keeps an area of prefabricated houses, heavily modified. Priors Park and Newtown are twentieth-century suburbs; Wheatpieces and Ashchurch are modern estate building. Those estates hold most of the town's timber fencing: long straight runs, shared boundaries either side, and posts that all went in the same year.
Digging in Tewkesbury: the practical bit
Three different digs in one town. The historic core sits on a gravel spit just above flood level, so holes cut fast, but the sides slump and the spoil will not tamp back around a post. On the floodplain fringes, at Back of Avon and on the low ground along the Swilgate, it is soft alluvium over a high water table, and a hole can fill with water as fast as it is dug. Out at Northway, Walton Cardiff and Ashchurch it is Lias clay, the Charmouth Mudstone, sticky through winter and set hard by August. Access decides the rest. Rear gardens in the medieval core are reached down narrow alleyways, so posts, panels and mixed concrete go in by hand, barrow by barrow.
The boundaries you already have
Tewkesbury is a Severn Vale brick town. Brick walls, timber close-board and panel fencing are what you find here; Cotswold stone is escarpment material and stays on the hills. The town conservation area carries an Article 4 Direction, and Tewkesbury Borough Council gives new fences and walls as an example of work such a direction pulls into planning control, so check it before ordering. Conservation rules also bite when an existing wall or fence comes down. With almost 400 listed buildings in the town, curtilage catches plenty of gardens. The work that follows is repair-led: rebuilt brick returns, like-for-like panels, gates across the alleys.

Fencing services in Tewkesbury
Every service we offer is available across Tewkesbury, 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.
