Understanding the work: composite fencing installation

Composite fencing installation fits boards made from recycled wood fibres and plastic, usually into slotted aluminium, steel or concrete posts. The finish and colour stability vary by product; most systems need cleaning rather than regular staining. It is built as a system, so the posts, boards, caps and fixings all come from one range.

Things to mention when you enquire

  • A timber fence that needs staining every year
  • A garden that needs a clean, flat-faced boundary
  • A boundary that is wet, shaded or exposed
  • A wish to avoid regular timber staining
  • A preference for a solid privacy screen

How the work is done

Agree the order of work before the old fence comes down. The visit usually covers:

  1. Measuring the run, checking for services and agreeing the system and colour.
  2. Installing the posts in concrete at the spacing the manufacturer specifies.
  3. Fitting the lower gravel board or base rail into the post slots.
  4. Slotting the composite boards between the posts, keeping them level.
  5. Adding the top cap and trims, then clearing offcuts and packaging.

Systems, posts and expansion

Check the instructions for the actual product. For an example of product-specific care and fitting advice, see Cladco’s fencing guidance.

Composite boards expand and contract with temperature, so the system has to leave the right gaps at the ends. Manufacturers specify the post type and spacing, often at 1.8 m, and use their own posts and clips. Mixing parts from different ranges can void the guarantee. Ask each quote which system is being fitted and whether the installer is approved by that manufacturer.

Preparing for the visit

Mention slopes early: stepping or raking a composite system adds cost and waste. Mention any corners, gates or change of height in the run, since each one needs special fittings.

Composite boards are heavy and long, and are usually delivered on a pallet. Say where a pallet can be left, and whether access to the garden is wide enough for the boards to be carried through.

Guide prices for composite fencing installation in Lytham St Annes

The UK guide range we use is £1,200–£4,000. It is a national guide, not a local tariff. A short run sits at the lower end. A typical garden of 10 to 15 metres sits in the middle. A long run, a slope, several corners or a premium system sits at the top and can go beyond it. Posts, boards, caps and fixings are all part of the system price, so check what is included before you compare.

Separate the material cost from labour and disposal when comparing prices, and confirm the VAT position. Allow 2 to 4 days on site, including time for the post concrete to set. Delivery of a system can take weeks, so ask when the installer can start once the order is placed.

What to tell the contractor

Tell the installer if you have a system or finish in mind. Give the length of each run, the height you want and where corners, gates or steps are. Say whether you have chosen a brand, colour or finish, or want the installer to suggest one.

Ask for the system name, the post material and spacing, the board colour and finish, and what is included in the manufacturer's guarantee. Check whether manufacturer approval is a warranty condition and whether gravel boards, caps and gate fittings are in the price.

Rules that apply to the work

Planning rules differ across the UK. Check with the local planning authority before changing a boundary, especially beside a road or at a listed property. The linked Planning Portal guidance is for England; local restrictions and removed permitted development rights can affect what is allowed. See the Planning Portal guidance on fences, gates and garden walls.

Digging for posts can hit buried pipes and cables, so ask how the contractor checks; LinesearchbeforeUdig is a free place to request plans. Check the manufacturer's guarantee terms, including any requirements about installation and registration.

Check any local restrictions with Lancashire County Council. Confirm which approvals apply before work starts.

Request quotes for your fencing job

The free enquiry form takes a couple of minutes. We ask contractors who join for their insurance details and references, but ask to see an in-date insurance certificate. We pass on your enquiry. You deal with the chosen business for advice, pricing and the work itself.

Before work on a shared boundary, talk to your neighbour and check who owns the fence. Title documents may help establish ownership. HM Land Registry title plans in England and Wales generally show boundaries without fixing their exact line. See the GOV.UK guidance on property boundaries. Keep people away from unstable fencing and arrange suitable help promptly; this enquiry service cannot provide emergency attendance.

Answers to common questions

A few points to check before booking the work.

How can I compare quotes for composite fencing installation in Lytham St Annes?

Fill in one enquiry form with your postcode and the details of the work. Up to four independent fencing contractors covering Lytham St Annes may receive the enquiry. Responses depend on the job and who is available. You choose whether to arrange a visit or accept a quotation.

Roughly how much is composite fencing installation in Lytham St Annes?

We use £1,200–£4,000 as a UK guide. Contractors in Lytham St Annes price their own work. A short, straight run costs less than a longer boundary with slopes and corners. The chosen system has a large effect on the total. Ask for materials, labour, waste removal and VAT in the written quote.

Does composite fencing fade?

Some composite boards change colour as they weather. Capped and uncapped products behave differently, so ask for samples and read the manufacturer's colour warranty.

Is composite fencing recyclable?

Many composite boards contain recycled material, but recycling them at the end of their life depends on the product. Ask the supplier what happens to old boards.

Does composite fencing need treatment?

No staining or sealing is needed. An occasional wash with water and a soft brush keeps it clean.

Can composite fencing go on a slope?

Yes, but boards are usually stepped rather than raked, which creates gaps at the bottom of each bay. Ask how the installer will handle your slope.

Ask who will remove the old materials and leave the ground tidy. Keep the invoice, the guarantee and any manufacturer paperwork for the fence.
