Question 1

Do I need planning permission to put up a fence?

Accepted Answer

In most cases a domestic fence up to 2 metres high needs no planning permission, with a lower limit next to a road. Restrictions can apply to listed properties or certain boundaries. We check the practicalities during the free site survey and advise you before any work starts.

Question 2

How long does fence installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most domestic fencing jobs are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the length of the run, the type of fence and the ground conditions. Where posts are set in concrete we allow curing time before fixing panels. We give you a clear timescale at quote stage.

Question 3

What types of fencing do you install?

Accepted Answer

We supply and install a wide range, including close board, feather edge, panel, post and rail, picket and decorative fencing, along with gates and trellis. We advise on what suits your boundary, your level of privacy and the local conditions during the free survey.

Question 4

What does the fencing process involve?

Accepted Answer

We start with a free site survey to measure the run and check the ground, then remove any old fencing, set the posts securely, fit the panels or boards, hang any gates and clear the site. The result is a straight, sturdy boundary built to last.

Question 5

Will the fence withstand Northern Ireland weather?

Accepted Answer

We use quality, treated timber and set posts properly so your fence stands up to wind and rain. Where exposure is high we can recommend stronger fixings, concrete posts or a more robust style so the fence lasts rather than failing in the first storm.

Question 6

Are your installers vetted and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every member of the team is experienced and vetted, and DPMNI Ltd carries £10 million public liability insurance, so your fencing is installed safely and to a high standard.

Question 7

Which areas do you cover for fencing?

Accepted Answer

We install fencing across Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor and the wider Northern Ireland area, including Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Holywood. Contact us with your postcode and we will confirm we cover your location.

Question 8

How much does fencing cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the length of the run, the style of fence, the number of gates and the ground conditions. We never quote blind, so we provide a clear, itemised quote free of charge after a site survey.
