FAQs
Fencing & Gates in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide fencing & gates across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
How deep do fence posts need to be set?
As a general guide, posts are typically set to around a third of their above-ground height, in concrete, though this varies with fence height, wind exposure and ground conditions — we confirm the right depth on site.
Does Green Belt designation affect extending a house in Sevenoaks?
Green Belt policy applies primarily to new buildings and significant additions that would be disproportionate to the original dwelling, rather than ruling out modest extensions. We assess this against your specific property and its planning history.
