Inner-city fencing
Fencing for Adamsdown Yards and Back Lanes
Adamsdown sits right on the edge of the city centre, between Newport Road and the railway line, and most of its streets are closely packed terraces with small back yards opening onto rear lanes. That shapes almost every job we do here. Space is tight, materials often have to come through the house or along the lane, and the boundary at the back of the yard matters as much for security as for privacy.
Between neighbouring yards we usually fit featheredge or hit and miss panels on concrete posts, which take up little room and cannot rot at the base. Where a yard backs onto the lane, a solid gate with a proper lock does more for security than anything else, so we build those to suit the opening rather than forcing in a standard size.
A good number of houses here are let, and landlords want a fence they will not hear about again. Composite fencing on concrete posts suits that well: no painting, no rotten boards and nothing for tenants to look after.

A selection of the fencing and gates we put up in and around CF24. Mention the one you like the look of when you get in touch and we can price it quickly.
Most of these can be built lower for a front boundary. For shops and yards we also put up security fencing.
Rear gates
Secure Gates onto the Back Lane
A gate onto a rear lane takes more knocks than any other part of a boundary: bins in and out, bikes, deliveries and the odd attempt to force it. We build lane gates in heavy ledged and braced timber or full-height boarding, hung on strong hinges and fixed to new posts or the existing wall.
Pick the hardware to suit how the gate gets used, from a simple latch to a lockable handle or a bolt on the inside. If the old gate has dropped or its posts have rotted, we can replace the lot so it shuts cleanly again.
For wider openings, see our garden gates and driveway gates.
Small yards
Making the Most of a Small Yard
Many Adamsdown yards are paved or concreted, with little soil to work with. A low timber or composite deck laid over the old surface tidies things up quickly, and where a yard steps up or down, a deck with a step or two evens it out.
Composite boards suit let properties because they need no oiling and can simply be swept and hosed down. Timber costs less up front and can be stained to match a new fence. We can take an old deck away for recycling for a small extra charge.

Worth knowing
Rules for Fences in Adamsdown
Heights
Without planning permission, a fence or gate can usually stand up to 2 metres tall, dropping to 1 metre where it faces a road used by vehicles or its pavement.
Listed buildings
Adamsdown has several listed buildings. A boundary within the grounds of one needs permission whatever its height, so speak to Cardiff Council's planning team first.
Rented homes
Tenants should get the landlord's agreement before a fence or gate is replaced. Landlords, let us know who to contact for access when you get in touch.
Mending a fence, or swapping it for one no taller, is not normally a planning matter.

FAQs
Adamsdown Fencing Questions
Do you work in Adamsdown and the rest of CF24?
Yes. Adamsdown is a short drive from our base in Penarth, and we work on streets right across it, from Newport Road down to the railway. If you're not sure we cover your road, call 029 2271 5157.
Can you fit a fence when the only way in is through the house?
Yes. Plenty of terraced jobs are like that. We plan the work around the access, bringing materials through the house or along the rear lane, whichever causes the least disruption.
What is the most secure gate for a rear lane?
A solid, full-height timber gate with nothing to climb on, hung on heavy hinges and fitted with a lockable latch or an internal bolt. Setting the posts properly matters as much as the gate itself.
Which fence needs the least upkeep for a rented house?
Composite fencing on concrete posts needs no treatment at all. If budget matters more, pressure-treated featheredge with concrete posts and gravel boards is the longest-lasting timber option.
Do I need permission to replace my fence?
Not usually, as long as the new fence is no taller than the old one. A brand-new fence up to 2 metres, or 1 metre beside a road, normally needs no permission either, unless the property is listed or those rights have been removed. Cardiff Council can confirm.
Will you take the old fence away?
Yes. Dismantling and disposing of the old fence, posts or gate is included, so nothing is left cluttering the yard afterwards.
