Tremorfa fencing

Fencing on the Old Pengam Farmland

Tremorfa takes its name from the Welsh for a town on the coastal marsh. Pengam Farm worked this land for centuries until it closed in 1936, and a major housing programme followed in the 1940s. Next door were the East Moors steelworks and, until 1954, Cardiff's airport on Pengam Moors, whose old hangars on Seawall Road are still in use as workshops.

For homes, that means back gardens with long shared boundaries, many with a gate onto a rear lane or path. Those gates take a lot of wear, so we build them solid, hang them on strong hinges and fit the lock or bolt you want.

Between neighbours, featheredge or closeboard on concrete posts is the usual choice: private, sturdy and good value.

Business units

Security Fencing for Yards and Workshops

Tremorfa and Pengam Green have plenty of workshops, yards and business units. For those, we fit steel palisade and mesh fencing with matching gates, sized to keep the site secure without looking like a fortress.

Tell us the length of the boundary, whether you need vehicle access, and how secure it needs to be, and we will price the options.

See palisade and mesh fencing.

Clear-outs

Clearing the Garden Before the Fence

If the old fence has been down for a while, the garden behind it has often followed. We can clear brambles, rubbish and old structures from the boundary, then fence it and lay a patio or deck so the garden is usable again.

See garden clearance and patios.

Rules

Fence Rules for Tremorfa

Gardens

A fence or gate up to 2 metres high usually needs no planning permission in Wales, falling to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its pavement.

Business sites

Security fencing on commercial land, or anything taller, may need planning permission. Cardiff Council can confirm.

Rented homes

If you rent from the council or a housing association, get your landlord's agreement before replacing a fence or gate.

A replacement no taller than the old fence does not normally need an application.

Questions

Tremorfa Fencing Questions

Do you cover Tremorfa and Pengam Green?

Yes. We fit fences and gates throughout Tremorfa, CF24, and Pengam Green. Call 029 2271 5157 to check your road.

What makes a rear gate secure?

Solid, full-height boards with nothing to climb on, strong hinges, a lockable latch or internal bolt, and posts set firm in concrete.

Do you fit security fencing for business units?

Yes. We fit steel palisade and mesh fencing with matching gates for yards, workshops and units.

Can you clear the garden before fencing?

Yes. We clear the boundary and take the waste away, then fit the new fence.

Do I need planning permission?

Not usually for a garden fence under 2 metres, or under 1 metre next to a road. Security fencing on commercial land may need it, so check with Cardiff Council.

Do you take the old fence away?

Yes. Removal and disposal are included.
