Good to know before you start
Check whose fence it is
Before replacing a fence, check which side is yours. Your title plan from HM Land Registry sometimes shows boundary ownership, and your neighbour may want a say in the style.
Fence height
In England a fence usually needs planning permission only if it is over 2 metres high, or over 1 metre high next to a road used by vehicles or the pavement beside it.
Garden waste
A clearance creates green waste. Say in your message whether you want it taken away or will use your council's garden waste collection.

Questions
Gardening & Outdoor: good to know
Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
In England a new fence usually does not need planning permission if it is no more than 2 metres high, or 1 metre high next to a road used by vehicles or the pavement beside it. Listed buildings and some estates have extra rules, so check the Planning Portal or your council if you are unsure.
Can Emir replace a broken fence panel?
Yes. Emir Handyman replaces broken fence panels and rotten or loose posts. Send a photo of the fence on WhatsApp with the panel size, usually 6 feet wide in the UK, and say whether the posts are timber or concrete, for a free estimate.
Can a patio be cleaned and re-pointed?
Yes. A patio can usually be pressure washed and then re-pointed, filling the joints between the slabs with new mortar or jointing compound, which keeps weeds down and looks tidier. Loose or broken slabs may need re-laying first. Send Emir Handyman photos of the patio for a free estimate.
