Westbury-on-Trym & Stoke Bishop — common questions

Is Westbury-on-Trym inside any Bristol Conservation Area?
No — Westbury-on-Trym and Stoke Bishop are outside all Bristol conservation areas. Most fencing and decking jobs here qualify for Permitted Development.
My Westbury-on-Trym detached house has a 20m garden — what decking fits?
20m gives you a 6m × 5m decking comfortably, with 14m of garden remaining. PD-friendly for a low decking under 30cm height; a raised decking would need an application.
Can you build a multi-level deck on my sloping garden?
Yes — multi-level decking is common on Westbury-on-Trym's larger plots. Tom builds the subframe on adjustable pedestals to handle the level changes. Most multi-level decks need a planning application because they exceed the 30cm PD threshold in places.
How much does Westbury-on-Trym decking and fencing cost?
Westbury-on-Trym decking and fencing jobs typically run £2,500–£4,500 for a 6–10 panel fence replacement, £5,000–£8,000 for a 6m × 5m decking, and £8,000–£14,000 for a combined project.
Are you VAT registered?
No — below the threshold. Quotes are VAT-free.
