What CLARKE FENCING LIMITED does

Clarke Fencing Limited is a privately held UK building materials supplier and fencing contractor based in Stowmarket, Suffolk. The company retails fencing, timber, and landscaping products—including fence panels, posts, gates, gravel boards, trellis, railway sleepers, decking, paving, and garden buildings—through both an e-commerce storefront and a physical depot, with click-and-collect and a regional delivery fleet covering East Anglia (Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire).

The company bundles its material supply with a professional installation service covering closeboard, panel, mesh, palisade, post-and-wire, chainlink, acoustic, and railing fencing for both domestic and commercial projects. Customers include homeowners undertaking DIY landscaping work, trade professionals (landscapers, tradesmen, building contractors) purchasing via a trade account program with exclusive discounts, and commercial enterprises requiring durable boundary solutions. Pricing is unit-based with VAT-inclusive retail pricing, a trade discount tier, and separately quoted installation services.

Revenue is generated through two streams: one-time product sales of fencing and landscaping materials and professional installation services. The company self-describes as Suffolk's largest fencing and landscaping materials supplier and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees. The business combines an e-commerce direct-to-consumer motion with a sales-led installation service offering, supported by content marketing guides and a Google Business profile with 197 reviews.
