Llandough fencing

A Village Between Penarth and Cardiff

Llandough sits between Penarth and Cardiff, joined to Penarth Road by Llandough Hill. It is an old place, with the site of a Roman villa, an early monastery and a carved stone cross still standing in the churchyard, but most of today's homes went up from the 1960s onwards on the fields of Great House Farm.

Those houses mean plenty of back gardens on a slope, long shared boundaries and fences that are now reaching the end of their life. We replace them with concrete posts and gravel boards, stepping the panels so each one sits level as the ground falls away.

Being in the same CF64 postcode as us, Llandough is one of the quickest places for us to reach for a measure-up.

Raised decking

Level Space on a Sloping Plot

When a garden climbs or drops away from the house, a raised deck is usually the most practical way to get a flat area for a table and chairs. We build the frame to your levels, add steps and a balustrade, and on taller decks can leave space underneath for storage.

Boards can be pressure-treated timber or composite. Where a deck looks out over the garden, glass balustrade panels keep the view open while still giving a safe edge.

Gates

Gates and Side Access

Where a side passage slopes, a gate hung dead level will catch the ground as it opens. We hang ours to clear the path, and make them to the exact width of the opening.

Featheredge gates to match a new fence are the most popular, followed by ledged and braced. Add a latch, a bolt or a lockable handle as you prefer. See our garden gates.

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.

Raised decks

In Wales, decking more than 30 centimetres above the ground needs planning permission, and decks, extensions and outbuildings together can cover no more than half the garden.

Questions

Llandough Fencing and Decking FAQs

Do you work in Llandough?

Yes. Llandough shares our CF64 postcode, so it is one of the closest places we work. Call 029 2271 5157 to arrange a visit.

How do you fence a garden that slopes?

We step each panel so it sits level and fill the gap underneath with a gravel board, so there are no holes for pets to get through.

Do I need planning permission for a raised deck?

In Wales, yes if the deck is more than 30 centimetres above the ground, and decks, extensions and outbuildings together must not cover more than half the garden. We will tell you at the quote stage if your deck is likely to need permission.

Can you add glass balustrades to a deck?

Yes. Glass panels keep the view open and still give a safe edge. We also fit timber and composite balustrades.

Can you replace the fence and build a deck in one job?

Yes. We often do both together, which saves you arranging two firms and means the deck and the fence line up neatly.

Is taking the old fence away included?

Yes. Old fencing is removed as part of the price. An old deck can be taken away for recycling for a small extra charge.
