Village fencing
Fencing for a Village Above the River Ely
Peterston-super-Ely is a small village on a gentle slope above the River Ely, with St Peter's Church, the remains of its castle and open countryside on every side. It feels a long way from the city, though it is only a short drive west of Cardiff.
Gardens here tend to be bigger than in town, and many back onto fields, hedgerows or the riverside. A lot of boundaries are hedges or old limestone walls rather than fences, so much of our work is fencing behind a hedge to keep dogs in, closing a gap where a hedge has died back, or putting up a new run along a field edge.
For open rural boundaries we use concrete or steel posts with featheredge or closeboard, which stand up to wind coming across open ground. Along a hedge line, a lower fence often does the job without hiding the hedge.
Gates
Wide Gates for Drives and Garden Access
Longer drives and bigger gardens often need more than a standard side gate. We make single and double timber gates to fit the opening, from a pedestrian gate through a hedge to a pair wide enough for a car or a ride-on mower.
Gates are hung on posts sized for the weight, with a drop bolt on the second leaf and a latch or lock of your choice. If the old posts have rotted or the gates have dropped, we replace the lot.
See driveway gates and garden gates for more designs.
Hedges
Hedge Cutting Before the New Fence Goes In
An overgrown hedge can swallow a metre or more of garden and hide a fence that collapsed long ago. We can cut it back, take out sections that have died, and clear the cuttings away before fencing the line.
Spring and early summer are the nesting season, so bigger hedge work is best planned for later in the year. In the conservation area, trees are protected and the council needs six weeks' notice before most work on them, so tell us if a tree is involved.
See garden maintenance and garden clearance.

Fences and Gates We Fit Around Peterston
Some of the fences and gates we supply and fit. For a village garden, natural timber is the usual choice, but composite suits anyone who would rather not treat a fence again.
For farm buildings, yards and business premises we also fit security fencing.

Planning
Fences, Walls and the Conservation Area
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
The heart of the village has been a conservation area since 1973. The Vale of Glamorgan Council looks to keep its traditional stone walls, hedges and railings, so talk to them before removing one.
Trees
Trees in the conservation area are protected, and the council needs six weeks' notice before most pruning or felling.
Replacing an existing fence at the same height is not normally a planning matter.

Questions
Peterston-super-Ely Fencing FAQs
Do you come out to Peterston-super-Ely?
Yes. We cover the village and the surrounding lanes as part of our regular area west of Cardiff. Call 029 2271 5157 to check.
Can you fence behind an existing hedge?
Yes. We can run a fence along the inside of a hedge to keep pets in or close gaps, cutting the hedge back first where needed.
Do you make wide or double gates?
Yes. We build single, double and driveway gates in timber to fit the opening, hung on posts strong enough for the weight.
Is my home in the conservation area?
The historic core around St Peter's Church has been a conservation area since 1973. The Vale of Glamorgan Council can confirm whether your property is inside it.
Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
Usually not under 2 metres, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. Listed buildings, and taking down walls in the conservation area, are the exceptions to check first.
Will you take away the old fence and hedge cuttings?
Yes. All waste from the job is removed as part of the price.
