Fencing in Weldon
Fencing for Weldon's stone village and the estates joining it to Corby, with posts set for ground that can change within a garden.
In Weldon we typically price closeboard at £80–£100 per metre supplied and fitted on concrete posts, and slatted composite or aluminium from about £240 per metre fitted at 1.8m high, confirmed in writing after a visit. The ground is the local issue: old limestone and ironstone workings mean a garden can move from rock to clay or fill.

Fencing in Weldon
Weldon is an old stone village on the east side of Corby, famous for Weldon stone, and its historic centre is now surrounded by later estates that join it to the town. That gives two quite different kinds of fencing job. In the old village, boundaries often meet stone walls and a fence needs to sit neatly against them. On the estates, it is usually replacing panels that were never built to last.
We put up closeboard timber on concrete posts with gravel boards, and composite or aluminium slatted fencing on aluminium posts, with gates, privacy screens and LED-lit capping to match. In the conservation area, appraised in 2009, natural timber sits better beside the stone, while estate gardens can take a more modern slatted finish. Near the Willow Brook, the ground is wetter and gravel boards matter all the more, so we look at each plot before choosing the posts and the panel line.
What makes Weldon different
Weldon sits over the limestone and ironstone that were quarried here, and ground can change from natural rock to clay or fill within a single garden. That affects how deep a post needs to go and how well its concrete holds, so we dig before we set out. The Willow Brook runs past the village, where the Environment Agency operates the Weldon flood storage reservoir, so wetter plots get gravel boards and careful post setting. There is no Article 4 direction in Weldon affecting fences.
A typical Weldon job is an estate house on the Corby side of the village, with original panels around the rear garden. We remove them, set concrete posts to suit the ground we find, fit gravel boards and closeboard, and add a side gate. Where the run ends at an older stone wall, we finish neatly against it.

Listed buildings need consent, and some estates have planning conditions on front boundaries. Listed buildings and the Weldon conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: fences, gates and walls
