7 Best Fencing Contractors in Newcastle upon Tyne for 2026

Newcastle's housing stock throws up some genuinely varied fencing jobs. The Edwardian terraces of Heaton and Jesmond tend to have long, narrow rear gardens with original brick walls that need matching or complementing rather than replacing outright, while the newer builds out towards Wideopen and Dinnington often have larger plots with timber panel fencing that's taken a battering from North Sea winds coming off the coast. The Tyne valley also means some properties sit on sloped ground, which affects post depth and can push up costs. Add in the mix of private gardens, communal tenement-style rear yards, and commercial sites on places like the Quayside or Team Valley Retail Estate, and it's clear that a good fencing contractor here needs to be adaptable. Expect to pay roughly £80 to £120 per metre for a standard timber close-board fence installed, with metal railing and composite options sitting higher.

The businesses listed on this page are drawn from third-party public business listings and ranked by their public review rating and review count, with a small lift given to those that show a working website and phone number. Before any business appears here, we check its homepage to confirm that fencing contractor work is genuinely what it primarily offers, rather than a side service tacked on to a broader trade, and that's how we keep unrelated businesses off this page. Listings marked as permanently closed are removed automatically. Where you see a Trust Verified badge on a business, that business has gone further and passed our full verification process, which covers trade qualifications and accreditations, public liability insurance, trading history, customer review history, and registered company information. You can see exactly what that involves on our How We Verify page. Any business without that badge hasn't been independently verified by us, and that's worth keeping in mind.

Before you book anyone, get at least three written quotes that break down materials and labour separately. Ask whether the price includes removal and disposal of your old fence, because skips or van runs to a tip aren't cheap in Newcastle and some contractors price that separately. Check that any contractor carries public liability insurance and ask to see the certificate, don't just take their word for it. If you're in a conservation area, parts of Jesmond Dene or the Ouseburn valley for instance, you may need permitted development sign-off before putting up a fence above a certain height, so check with Newcastle City Council's planning department first. Good contractors will flag this unprompted, but it's worth raising yourself if they don't.
