Village fencing

Fencing for a Small Village by the Ely

St Georges-super-Ely is a small village on the western edge of Cardiff, between Peterston-super-Ely and Michaelston-super-Ely, with the River Ely and the main railway line running through. Its church is one of the smallest cruciform churches in Wales, and Castle Farmhouse, the old manor, is Grade I listed.

The historic hamlet by the church has been a conservation area since 1973. Most of its boundaries are limestone rubble walls and wayside hedges, and the Vale of Glamorgan Council looks to keep them, so new fencing here usually goes behind a wall or hedge rather than in place of it.

Away from the old core, gardens are larger than in town, and the jobs are long boundary runs, gates for drives, and decking.

Gates

Driveway and Garden Gates

Village homes often sit back from the lane with a drive in front, and a good pair of gates finishes the frontage. We fit metal and timber driveway gates made to the width of the opening, hung on posts or pillars that can take the weight.

For the garden, we make side and pedestrian gates to match a new fence, with the latch, bolt or lock you choose.

See driveway gates and garden gates.

Timber suits a village garden best, but composite is worth a look if you never want to treat a fence again.

Decking

Decks for Larger Gardens

More space means more choice: a deck on one level by the house, or a raised deck with a balustrade to catch the evening sun. We build in pressure-treated timber or composite, on frames sized for the job.

In Wales, decking more than 30 centimetres off the ground needs planning permission, so we will flag it if yours is likely to.

See raised decking.

Planning

Walls, Hedges and the Conservation Area

Heights

Fences and gates up to 2 metres high usually need no planning permission in Wales, or up to 1 metre beside a road used by vehicles or its footpath.

Conservation area

The hamlet by the church has been a conservation area since 1973. The council will resist removing traditional stone walls, so speak to the Vale of Glamorgan Council before touching one.

Trees

Trees in a conservation area are protected, and the council needs six weeks' notice before most pruning or felling.

Like-for-like replacement of an existing fence rarely needs an application.

FAQs

St Georges-super-Ely Fencing FAQs

Do you cover St Georges-super-Ely?

Yes. We cover the village and the lanes around it as part of our regular area west of Cardiff. Call 029 2271 5157 to check.

Is my home in the conservation area?

The historic hamlet around St George's Church has been a conservation area since 1973. The Vale of Glamorgan Council can confirm whether your property is inside it.

Can you fence behind an old stone wall or hedge?

Yes. We set the posts behind the wall or hedge so it stays as it is, which is usually what the council prefers in the conservation area.

Do you fit metal driveway gates?

Yes. We fit metal and timber driveway gates made to the width of your drive.

Do I need permission for a raised deck?

In Wales, yes if it is more than 30 centimetres above the ground. We will tell you at the quote stage if yours is likely to need it.

Will you take the old fence away?

Yes. Removal and disposal are included.
