Fencing Services in Cambridge
Whether you need a damaged panel replaced, an old fence taken down and rebuilt, or a brand-new fence installed from scratch, Cambs Fencing & Landscaping provides reliable, high-quality fencing services across Cambridge and the surrounding areas.
What We Offer
Our Cambridge Fencing Services
We provide three core fencing services to homeowners across Cambridge. Whether the job is small or large, the process is the same: we visit, we quote, and we get it done properly.
Fence Repairs
Not every problem needs a full replacement. If your fence has taken a hit from a storm, or a post has started to lean, we can often carry out a repair that gets things back to how they were - at a fraction of the cost of a new fence.
Our repair work includes:
- Replacing individual broken or damaged panels
- Removing and replacing rotten fence posts (timber or concrete)
- Fitting new gravel boards to close gaps at ground level
- Re-securing loose panels and rails
- Storm damage repairs, often within a few days
Fence Replacement
When a fence has reached the end of its life, patching it up only delays the inevitable. We remove the old fencing, dispose of it responsibly, and install a new fence built to last.
A typical fence replacement includes:
- Removal and disposal of the existing fence
- New concrete or timber posts set firmly into the ground
- New gravel boards to protect the bottom of the panels from moisture
- Your choice of fence panel style and height
- A full tidy-up once the work is complete
New Fence Installation
Building a new fence where there isn't one already - whether it's for a new-build property, a garden that's never been enclosed, or an area you'd like to section off - requires proper planning and preparation.
We handle everything from measuring up and advising on the best fencing type for your needs, through to ground preparation, post installation, and fitting the panels. If you need a gate included, we can supply and fit that too.
Every installation follows the same straightforward process: site visit, detailed quote, agreed start date, and a clean finish.

We supply and install a range of fencing styles to suit different gardens, budgets, and preferences. Here are the options available.
The most popular choice for rear gardens in Cambridge. Closeboard fencing is built on site using overlapping vertical timber boards fixed to horizontal rails, creating a strong, solid boundary. It’s durable, offers excellent privacy, and can follow sloping ground more easily than standard panels. Ideal if you want a long-lasting fence that looks neat and handles the elements well.
Pre-made fence panels are a cost-effective and versatile option for most gardens. Panels slot between posts for a quicker installation than closeboard, and they’re available in a range of heights and styles. We supply and fit panels using either concrete or timber posts, with gravel boards fitted as standard to protect the bottom edge from moisture and extend the life of the fence.
A contemporary style that uses horizontal slats with gaps between them, allowing light and airflow through while still providing a degree of screening. Venetian fencing works particularly well as a garden divider, a feature panel, or in front gardens where you want a modern look without fully blocking the view.
A classic, low-height option that’s most commonly used in front gardens. Picket fencing defines a boundary and adds kerb appeal without blocking light or views. Available with round or pointed tops, and in various heights, it’s a smart, traditional choice that suits cottage-style and period homes particularly well.
Trellis panels can be used on their own for a decorative screen or added to the top of an existing fence for extra height and visual interest. They’re a popular choice for supporting climbing plants and creating more sheltered garden areas. We supply trellis in a range of sizes and can fit it to new or existing fencing.
A simple, open-style fence made from horizontal rails fixed between upright posts. Post and rail fencing is commonly used for marking boundaries in larger gardens, front gardens, or rural-style properties. It can be combined with wire mesh if you need to keep pets contained.
Not every problem needs a full replacement. We carry out all types of fence repairs across Cambridge, from replacing a single damaged panel to re-securing loose rails. If your fence has taken a hit from a storm or is starting to show its age, a targeted repair is often the quickest and most cost-effective way to get things back in shape.
Rotten or leaning fence posts are one of the most common fencing problems we see. We remove the old post, set a new one firmly into the ground – either concrete or timber, depending on your preference – and refit the existing panels or boards. It’s a straightforward job that can save a fence that’s otherwise in good condition.
We supply and install timber gates to match your new or existing fencing. Whether you need a standard side gate, a garden gate, or something made to measure, we’ll make sure it fits properly, swings freely, and matches the rest of your fencing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost depends on the length of the run, the type of fencing you choose, and whether any old fencing needs removing first. As a rough guide, a standard closeboard or panel fence typically costs between £80 and £120 per metre, including materials and installation. The best way to get an accurate price is to book a free site visit – we’ll measure up and give you a detailed quote with no obligation.
In most cases, no. You can install a fence up to 2 metres high in your back garden without planning permission. If the fence is next to a road or public footpath, the limit is 1 metre. If you’re in a conservation area or your property is listed, there may be additional restrictions. We can advise you on this during your site visit.
Most domestic fence installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the length of the run and whether there’s existing fencing to remove. Larger or more complex jobs may take a little longer, but we’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront.
Absolutely – we’re happy to replace individual panels, posts, or gravel boards without needing to redo the entire fence. If the rest of the fencing is in good condition, a targeted repair is often the most sensible and cost-effective option. We’ll let you know honestly what we’d recommend.
For maximum privacy, closeboard (featherboard) fencing at 6 feet high is the most popular choice. It’s solid, with no gaps between the boards, and it’s strong enough to handle wind without the need for additional support. Lap panels also offer good privacy at a lower price point.
Yes. Removal and disposal of your existing fencing is included as standard in all our replacement and new installation quotes. We’ll take everything away and leave the site clean.
