Local knowledge
Ilkley's larger gardens often mean long fence runs, privacy screening along a boundary, or a mix of stone wall and fencing. Many owners want something that suits a stone house, such as slatted timber or traditional closeboard, rather than the cheapest panels.
Ilkley, Ben Rhydding, Middleton, Addingham, Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston all have conservation areas. Trees there are protected: you must give Bradford Council six weeks' notice before cutting or removing one, and a new fence line shouldn't damage roots.
Gardens rising towards the moor get more wind than the valley floor, so post choice and panel style matter.
What we can help with
Closeboard and panel fencing with concrete or timber posts, built for Pennine wind.
Horizontal slatted screens for modern gardens, patios and privacy.
Side gates, driveway gates and gates set into old stone walls.
Post and rail and stock fencing for paddocks and rural plots.

Planning in Ilkley is handled by Bradford Council. Conservation areas nearby include Ilkley, Ben Rhydding, Middleton, Addingham, Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston.
Questions
It can be. In a conservation area you must give the council six weeks' notice before any work to the tree, and trees with a Tree Preservation Order need consent. A good fencer can also set posts to avoid damaging main roots.
Yes. You never pay us. The fencer pays us for introductions, and you deal with them directly for the quote and the work.

Up to 2 metres in most places. Next to a road used by vehicles, or the pavement beside one, the limit is 1 metre. Higher than that needs planning permission, and so does any fence around a listed building. Some estates and conservation areas have extra restrictions, so check if you're unsure.
There's no rule that it's always the left-hand one. Ownership is shown on your title deeds or plan, often with 'T' marks, and you can get a copy from HM Land Registry. If the deeds say nothing, agree it with your neighbour before replacing a shared fence.
Concrete posts don't rot and suit exposed gardens. Timber posts look softer and are easier to fix later. Plenty of people use concrete posts and gravel boards with timber panels. The fencer can tell you what suits your ground and how windy your garden is.
