23 providers researched, 11 ranked
Signed off by Douglas Franco
A fencing contractor supplies and fits boundary fencing: concrete or timber posts, close-board and overlap panels, gravel boards, trellis, and side or driveway gates. It sounds simple until a winter storm tests shallow-set posts on Telford's exposed estates — the posts and the groundwork decide whether a fence stands for fifteen years or leans by spring.
This page ranks the fencing contractors working across Telford against one published scoring system, using dated evidence you can inspect. Below: how the list was built, the boundary and materials checks to make before anyone digs, rough local prices as of autumn 2026, behaviours to watch for, and answers to the questions residents ask most.

The limited company is active with a Telford registered address [2].
Limitations
The site says established 2005 but the limited company dates to 2020, so earlier years likely reflect prior trading — scored accordingly [1][2].
No insurance or pricing detail is published, both scored as insufficient evidence [1].

The firm behind the yard is an active limited company incorporated in 2006, which supports its three-generations account [1][2].
Limitations
Fitting is not in-house: the site points you to a fitter it recommends and passes on his details, so your installation agreement sits elsewhere [1].
No insurance details are published — scored as insufficient evidence — and the registered office (Ercall Park) differs from the Roden yard [1][2].
Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Birmingham

No insurance or pricing detail is published — both scored as insufficient evidence, so ask for them with your quote [1].
Best for: Fencing supply with installation from a Donnington yard
Our judgement: Tafs suits you if you want materials and fitting from one long-standing Donnington yard with a deep review record. The dissolved-company wrinkle needs care rather than alarm. Before booking, confirm in writing which business takes your deposit and whether your price covers installation [1][2][3].

The business claims 36 years trading from its purpose-built Telford site, which speaks to continuity if you want an established supplier [1].

The matched limited company was dissolved in April 2024 while the yard keeps trading, so check which business contracts your job — scored on documented history and flagged for the editor [1][2].
No insurance details are published, scored as insufficient evidence rather than a failing, and pricing stops at a price-match promise with no quote terms [1].

How we chose
We built the candidate list from Google Places results for fencing searches across Telford, matched each business against Companies House records and its own website, and checked trade-relevant registers including TrustMark, the Federation of Master Builders and the Environment Agency waste carrier register [1][2][3]. Before we score anyone, we check that each business is who it says it is, is trading today and can actually be reached, and that any claimed registration checks out. We then score every eligible business against our scoring system, which looks at the things you care about when hiring: what customers say, the qualifications and registrations that matter for this trade, how the business responded when we contacted it, how long it has traded, insurance and safeguards, how clearly it prices, and how useful its website is. Anything we cannot verify stays neutral rather than counting against a business. Every fact on the ranked list carries its evidence date, so you can see how fresh each check is.
How to hire
Work out who owns the fence before you price its replacement. Title deeds or the Land Registry entry usually mark boundary responsibility — look for the T-mark on the title plan — and shared boundaries need a written agreement with the neighbour before posts move. Replacing a fence you have no right to replace is the commonest fencing dispute we hear about, so settle ownership first and bring the agreed line to each quoting visit.
Ask what exactly is quoted: post material and depth, panel type, gravel boards, old-fence removal and disposal, and gate ironmongery where gates are included. Concrete posts and gravel boards cost more upfront and outlast timber in wet ground — ask how deep posts are set and what the concrete footing looks like. Get any rot or workmanship cover written into the terms, with its length and exclusions stated.
Check the contractor the way you would a small builder. Look for Federation of Master Builders membership [2] or TrustMark registration [1], ask for public liability insurance with the limit in writing, and confirm the firm on Companies House [4]. Ask for two recent local runs of fencing you can walk past, and speak to the owners about punctuality, tidiness and whether leaning runs were fixed without argument.
Compare at least two itemised written quotes priced per bay or per metre, stating post centres, materials, waste handling, VAT and start dates. A deposit for materials is normal; full payment upfront is not. Keep the written quote with your payment record, so you have everything Citizens Advice asks for if a dispute needs mediation or a claim [5].
Pricing
Rough Telford ranges as of autumn 2026: close-board or overlap panels supplied and fitted £70 to £120 per bay, with concrete posts at the top of that range; a typical 10-metre rear run £800 to £1,600; side gates £150 to £400 fitted; and old-fence removal and disposal often £100 to £300 on top. Get two itemised written quotes before you commit [5].
Ground, access and extras move the price: concrete to break out, sloping runs that need stepping, narrow side access, and gates, trellis and capping all add labour and materials. Get post centres, materials, waste handling, VAT position, guarantee length and start date in writing — Citizens Advice explains what a sound quote should contain [5]. Photograph each boundary before work starts so the finished line can be checked against the agreement.
Red flags
Starts digging or pulls the old fence down before the boundary ownership is agreed with the neighbour.
Quotes per bay but will not say what the bay width, post depth or footing includes.
Offers to take old panels, posts and concrete away but has no waste carrier licence number to check [3].
Asks for full payment upfront, in cash, with no written specification of materials.
Cannot show insurance details or a recent local run of fencing you can verify.
Questions about fencing contractors
How do I know which boundary fence is mine?
Check your title deeds or Land Registry entry first — the T-mark on the title plan usually shows which side is yours, and some boundaries are shared. Replacing a fence that is not yours to replace is the commonest fencing dispute around, so settle ownership with the neighbour in writing before seeking quotes. Bring the agreed boundary line to each quoting visit.
Concrete or timber posts — which should I choose?
Concrete posts with gravel boards cost more upfront and outlast timber in wet ground; timber posts cost less upfront and suit sheltered plots but need earlier replacement. Ask how deep posts are set, what the concrete footing looks like, and which panel type suits your exposure. Get the materials specification — not just the panel name — written into the quote.
What should I check before hiring a fencing contractor?
No single licence covers fencing, so check the contractor the way you would a small builder. Look for Federation of Master Builders membership [2] or TrustMark registration [1], ask for public liability insurance with the limit in writing, and confirm the firm on Companies House [4]. Ask for two recent local runs of fencing you can walk past. Check all three before paying a deposit.
Who takes the old fence away?
Usually the contractor, and the quote should say so. Old panels, posts and concrete footings are bulky, and anyone charging to carry them away must hold a licence on the Environment Agency public register [3]. Agree whether removal and disposal are included or priced separately. Get the arrangement in the written quote either way.
What guarantee should I get on a new fence?
Treat it as part of the price, not a handshake promise. Ask how long the workmanship and rot cover lasts, what it excludes — storm damage and soil movement are common exclusions — and who returns to fix a leaning run. Get the exact terms in writing with the quote, photograph the finished fence, and raise any lean in the first winter promptly.
