Why Commercial Clients Choose ColourFence

From traditional garden fencing to robust boundary solutions, wooden fencing remains one of the most versatile options available. Every installation is carried out with careful planning, proper groundwork, and attention to detail, giving customers a reliable fence that performs well in the UK climate and improves the overall appearance of their outdoor space.

Wooden Fencing Installation

Our railing installation services are designed for properties that need a clean, durable barrier without fully enclosing the space. Railings are often used to define front boundaries, protect raised beds, add safety along steps, or create a smarter edge to patios and paths. We help choose designs that balance security with visibility, and we will advise on height, spacing, and fixing methods to suit the setting. A well-installed railing system should feel solid, look consistent, and require very little ongoing attention.

  • You may need a pavement licence from your local council if tables are on the public highway, and planning consent may be required for more permanent structures. For fencing on private land, standard permitted development rules usually apply.

  • Low ColourRail railings at around 0.9–1 metre typically work well for outdoor dining  enough to define the space without blocking views into the venue or making customers feel enclosed.

  • For outdoor dining, metal railings (ColourRail) are generally preferable to timber: they require no seasonal painting, do not deteriorate in wet conditions and maintain a consistent appearance throughout the year.

  • ColourRail is available in seven standard colours and a full bespoke RAL service, making it possible to match venue branding or complement external décor.

  • ColourRail carries a long guarantee and is designed for sustained exposure to UK weather including rain, frost and UV. No seasonal treatment is required, and the product maintains its appearance for many years with only occasional cleaning.
