Fencing & Walls in Old Windsor, Berkshire
What changes here.
Boundary work in Old Windsor comes with a question most fencing jobs elsewhere do not: whose boundary is it. Where a garden meets Windsor Great Park, the land on the other side of the line is Crown Estate ground, and parts of its edge carry habitat designations, so replacing a fence or hedge along that boundary is a conversation before it is a job, rather than a straightforward like-for-like replacement. Away from the Park edge, boundary work is more conventional — garden walls and close-board fencing around the older properties near the village centre, done to the same standard as anywhere else in SL4.
Fencing & Walls ground conditions in Old Windsor
Retaining walls get engineered drainage behind them as standard on the plots nearer the Thames, where the winter water table sits high enough that an undrained wall face will take on pressure it was never built to resist. For ordinary boundary fencing away from the river, ground conditions are more conventional and concrete posts on standard foundations perform reliably. Where a boundary meets Windsor Great Park, we keep spoil, materials and machinery clear of the Park edge for the duration of the work, treating it as land we are working next to rather than land we can encroach on.
Planning and permissions in Old Windsor
A fence up to 2m at the rear of an Old Windsor property, or 1m where it meets a public highway, is permitted development in most cases, the same as elsewhere in SL4. The Green Belt designation that wraps the village does not generally affect ordinary boundary fencing within a garden, but a boundary shared with Windsor Great Park is a separate question: the Park is Crown Estate land, and any work that touches or alters that edge, rather than sitting entirely on your own side of it, needs the ownership and any habitat designation established with the estate and RBWM before we price the job.

Fencing & Walls in Old Windsor FAQs
In Old Windsor, specifically.
It depends on exactly where the boundary line falls and what is on the other side of it. Because the Park is Crown Estate land, and parts of its edge carry habitat designations, we establish ownership of the boundary before quoting the work rather than assuming it is a straightforward like-for-like fence replacement on your own land.
Yes, as standard rather than as an option. On plots nearer the river, where the winter water table sits high, an undrained retaining wall will take on groundwater pressure behind the face and lean or crack within a few seasons. Every retaining wall we build on that ground gets a drainage path behind it before the wall is finished.
Not usually for ordinary garden fencing within permitted development limits, since Green Belt policy is aimed at larger changes to open land rather than a like-for-like boundary. Where a plot sits right against the Green Belt boundary or a Park edge, we check it against both at survey so the answer is confirmed rather than assumed.
Close-board on concrete posts and gravel boards is our standard specification, and it suits the mix of older and more recent properties around Straight Road and the church without looking out of place against either. Where a garden wall is being repaired or extended rather than replaced, we match the existing brick and coping as closely as the original allows.
