Fencing in Wingham.

Wingham is the village at the centre of the patch. A wide-street Conservation Area running along the A257 High Street, with the Red Lion pub anchoring the market-square end and mixed period cottages, Georgian frontages and outlying farm plots making up the residential stock. Dover District Council is the planning authority.

What the work looks like: Front-boundary picket or low closeboard on the High Street CA. Rear-boundary closeboard at 1800mm on garden lines behind the village. Longer orchard-boundary runs on the Preston Road side. Occasional listed-frontage work around the market square where LBC applies.

Typical spec: Standard closeboard rear boundary in Wingham runs 20-30m and prices at £75-85/m installed. Front-boundary picket at 900mm on a CA frontage: £45-60/m installed.
