Rumney fencing

Fencing for Rumney Homes

Rumney sits just east of the Rhymney River, on the old road out of Cardiff towards Newport. It was part of Monmouthshire until 1938, when it was brought into Cardiff, and today it is a mainly residential area of social and private housing, with Rumney Hill climbing up from the river.

Most of our jobs here are semis and terraces with a front garden on the road and a back garden shared with neighbours on either side. Corner plots in particular have long runs of fencing on show, so they need to look right as well as stand up.

We build with concrete posts and gravel boards and featheredge, closeboard or hit and miss panels, finished so the run looks as good from the pavement as it does from the garden.

Front gardens

Front Fences, Corner Plots and the Road

A fence next to a road used by vehicles, or the pavement beside it, can be no more than 1 metre high without planning permission. That includes the side of a corner plot if it runs along a road. Away from the road, the usual 2 metre limit applies.

If you need a taller screen along a road, Cardiff Council's planning team can tell you whether an application is worth making before we measure up.

Side gates finish off the front: we build them to the width of the passage, with room for the bins.

Overgrown gardens

Clearing the Ground First

Some of our Rumney jobs start with a garden that has got away from its owner: brambles along the fence line, an old shed, a fallen panel hidden in the undergrowth. We clear it, take the waste away and then fence the boundary, so you only deal with one team.

Once the ground is clear, we can lay a patio or a deck at the same time. See garden clearance and patios and paving.

Rules in Cardiff

Fence Heights in Rumney

Back gardens

Up to 2 metres high, a fence or gate usually needs no planning permission in Wales.

By the road

Next to a road used by vehicles or its pavement, the limit is 1 metre, including the roadside edge of a corner plot.

Who decides

Cardiff Council is the planning authority for Rumney. Listed buildings and homes with permitted development rights removed need checking first.

Replacing a fence with one of the same height does not normally need permission.

How high can my front fence be?

Featheredge or closeboard on concrete posts looks tidy from both sides of a corner plot. Hit and miss also looks the same from both sides.

Do you fit side gates?

Yes. We build side gates to the width of your passage, with the latch, bolt or lock you prefer.

Will you take the old fence away?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old fence are included.
