Fencing in Bow: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You’re generally responsible for fences on your property boundary. In the UK, fences in back gardens can be up to 2 metres high without planning permission. Front garden fences are usually limited to 1 metre unless you apply for permission. Always check your deeds or speak with your local planning office if unsure.

For renters:

Responsibility usually falls to the landlord, unless your tenancy agreement says otherwise. If a fence or gate is damaged, report it to your landlord or letting agent, as they will decide on repairs or replacements. You can still suggest using a local fencing contractor via Checkatrade if you want things moving faster.

Emergency fencing in Bow

Strong winds, storm damage, or even break-ins can leave you with broken panels, leaning posts, or gates that won’t close properly.
