On our doorstep
Penarth's Local Fencing Team
Penarth is home for J&Z. We are based here in CF64 and work right across the town, from the Esplanade and the Victorian streets around the town centre to Cogan, the Marina and the newer estates on the edges.
Penarth's houses throw up a bit of everything. Victorian and Edwardian terraces have narrow side returns and long, often sloping, back gardens. Villas near the seafront have high walls and older gates. Newer homes have open-plan fronts and standard panels that are ready for replacing. Wherever you are, the weather off the Channel soon finds a weak post.
That is why concrete posts, or galvanised steel Duraposts, with concrete gravel boards are the popular choice here, topped with featheredge, hit and miss, slatted or composite panels.
Recent work
A Penarth Garden, Before and After
One of our Penarth jobs: an overgrown back garden with a collapsing fence, turned into a usable space with new fencing, a grey composite walkway and a raised timber deck.
Fencing, decking and landscaping can all be handled by our team as one project, with one quote and one invoice.
Conservation area
Front Walls and Gates in the Conservation Area
Much of central Penarth, including the town centre, many Victorian villas and terraces, the parks and the seafront, sits inside the Penarth Conservation Area, the largest in the Vale of Glamorgan. Low brick or limestone front walls, gate piers and railings are a big part of its character.
An Article 4 direction there means that houses in single occupation need planning permission to alter boundary walls and gates facing a road or open space. If your quote includes a front boundary, we will flag it so you can check with the Vale of Glamorgan Council before anything is booked. Fences between neighbouring back gardens are not normally affected.
For new gates, see our garden gates or, for wider entrances, driveway gates.
Our work
Decks, Gates and Patios in Penarth
A selection of our work: decks, fences, gates and paving. Mention one you like when you get in touch.
We also lay patios and paths on a properly prepared base.
Decking
Raised Decking for Sloping Penarth Gardens
A lot of Penarth's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and some of the hillside roads, have back gardens that slope noticeably. A raised deck is often the most practical answer: it gives you a level area to sit out without the cost and mess of digging out the slope.
We build in pressure-treated timber or composite, with timber, composite or glass balustrades and proper steps down to the garden. In Wales, decking more than 30 centimetres off the ground needs planning permission, so we will say at the quote stage if yours is likely to.

Excellent service from Jamie and his team. Jamie was able to offer advice and installed fencing all round the garden. Very professional service from beginning to end. The fences look great. I would strongly recommend J&Z Fencing to anyone.

Fence Rules in Penarth
Height
In Wales, a fence, wall or gate up to 2 metres high usually needs no planning permission, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath.
Conservation area
In the Penarth Conservation Area, an Article 4 direction brings changes to front boundary walls and gates on single houses under planning control.
Deeds and neighbours
Your deeds may say which boundaries are yours. We often need to work from next door for part of the job, so a quick word with the neighbours helps.
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is the planning authority for Penarth.

Questions
Fencing in Penarth: Common Questions
Do you cover all of Penarth?
Yes. We are based in CF64 ourselves and work across the whole town, including the town centre, the Esplanade, Cogan and the Marina, as well as nearby Llandough. Call 029 2271 5157 or use our quote form.
How quickly can you give me a quote?
Being local, we can usually visit within a few days of you getting in touch. Send photos and rough measurements through the quote form and we can often give you a provisional figure first.
How high can my fence be in Penarth?
In Wales, a fence, wall or gate can usually be up to 2 metres high without planning permission, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. In the Penarth Conservation Area, changes to front boundary walls and gates on single houses also need permission because of an Article 4 direction, so check with the Vale of Glamorgan Council if that applies.
Do many Penarth gardens need raised decking?
Quite a few. Many of the Victorian and Edwardian terraces and hillside roads have sloping back gardens, and a raised deck gives you a level area without removing large amounts of soil.
Can you do the fencing, decking and landscaping as one project?
Yes. We can handle the whole outdoor project, with one point of contact, one quote and one invoice, and the different parts designed to work together.
Do you offer emergency fence repairs?
Yes. If your fence has come down in a storm and you need the garden made safe quickly, particularly with pets or young children, call 029 2271 5157. We offer a free temporary fence repair in the Penarth area for emergencies, so the garden is secure while we arrange the full repair or replacement.
