Fencing in the Royal Harbour area, Ramsgate.

The harbour bowl itself is sheltered by the cliffs - the sea breeze that hammers the West Cliff Promenade is a manageable draft down at Military Road and the streets running back from the harbour front. That changes the fence spec: we can drop back to two-rail closeboard or standard panel fencing on most rear boundaries here, and the concrete-post upgrade that's mandatory on the clifftop is optional (though still sensible) down at harbour level.

Front-boundary work near the harbour sits inside a conservation area administered by Thanet District Council. Above 1m on any front-facing boundary needs an application. Below 1m - which covers most traditional picket work - is permitted development. We check the LPA map at quote stage.

Typical Royal Harbour jobs

• Panel fencing - sheltered rear-garden runs behind the harbour front
• Painted picket - front-garden work on the Regency-adjacent streets
• Concrete post upgrade - end-of-life timber-post runs on 15+ year-old fences
• Gates with hot-dip galv hardware - salt air is closer here than the shelter suggests
