Fencing in Winslow
Fencing for Winslow's brick town centre, Victorian streets and modern estates, checked against the conservation area appraisal adopted in April 2026.
In Winslow, closeboard timber fencing typically costs £80–£100 per metre supplied and fitted on concrete posts, and composite and aluminium slatted fencing starts from about £240 per metre fitted at 1.8m high, as guide prices. The key local point is the conservation area appraisal adopted in April 2026, which discourages close-boarded fencing on streets such as Station Road and Avenue Road.

Fencing in Winslow
Winslow is a brick town, mostly red brick in Flemish bond with render, timber frame, clay tile and some thatch. Its core around Market Square, High Street, Sheep Street and Horn Street fronts the pavement, the Victorian and Edwardian streets to the north have front gardens, and modern estates sit around the edge. Each part of town calls for a different answer on boundaries, which is why we look at your street before suggesting anything.
Milton Keynes Driveways & Landscaping can fit closeboard timber on concrete posts with gravel boards, or composite and aluminium slatted fencing on aluminium posts, with gates and screens to match. On the free design visit we measure the runs, check whether your house falls inside the revised conservation area boundary, and look at which boundaries face the street. Removal of the existing fence is priced at that visit, and a fixed price then follows in writing.
What makes Winslow different
Winslow Conservation Area was re-appraised in April 2026 with a revised boundary. There is no Article 4 direction at present, though the appraisal recommends one be considered, and it discourages close-boarded fencing on streets such as Station Road and Avenue Road in favour of traditional boundaries. Planning here is Buckinghamshire Council. Underground, glacial sand and gravel are widespread alongside clay till and Oxford Clay, so the ground can change within a few metres, and we set each post for what we find.
A typical Winslow job is a modern estate house on the edge of town with a rear garden enclosed by failing panels. The posts are replaced with concrete ones set for the sand, gravel or clay we find, gravel boards go along the base, and closeboard and a side gate complete it. On the Victorian and Edwardian streets, rear fencing is common while front boundaries usually stay traditional.
Permissions and checks in Winslow
- Step 1A fence, wall or gate is normally permitted development up to 2m high, or 1m where it sits next to a road or footpath used by vehicles. Listed buildings need consent, and some estates have planning conditions on front boundaries. Listed buildings and conservation areas in Winslow have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: fences, gates and walls
- Step 2Trees in a conservation area need six weeks’ written notice before any work, and trees with a Tree Preservation Order need consent — both are free. Buckinghamshire Council: work on a protected tree
- Step 3We check the ground and the planning position at the free design visit and give you one fixed written price.

“Connor and the team recently completed our resin driveway in Bletchley. From going through the design with us and even making pictures so we could see how it looked, to the install and the aftercare, it has all been perfect. Thanks again.”

“Milton Keynes Driveways & Landscaping have just finished our full garden makeover in Milton Keynes. We had a porcelain patio, composite decking and raised sleeper beds. They arrived on time, kept my home clean and the garden looks terrific. They are coming back to do our block paved driveway soon.”
