Why Choose Clarke Fencing? A Look at Our Suffolk Roots and Expertise
When it comes to fencing, timber and landscaping supplies, Suffolk homeowners and trade professionals want one thing above all: reliability. Reliable products, reliable advice and reliable service from a company that truly understands the needs of local customers.
That’s exactly why Clarke Fencing has become one of the most trusted fencing suppliers in Suffolk and East Anglia. But our reputation wasn’t built overnight — it’s the result of decades of hard work, family values and genuine expertise.
Here’s a look at who we are, where we’ve come from and what makes Clarke Fencing the supplier people return to year after year.
A Family-Run Business with Suffolk at Its Heart
Clarke Fencing began as a small, family-run business with one clear mission: provide quality fencing at fair prices, backed by honest service.
Decades later, that same approach is still at the core of everything we do.
Being a family business means we care deeply about the people we serve. We know our customers by name, we understand the needs of local trades and homeowners, and we take pride in supplying materials that genuinely stand the test of time.
Over 40 Years of Local Knowledge and Expertise

We’ve been supplying and helping install fences across:
-
Stowmarket
-
Ipswich
-

-
The surrounding Suffolk villages and rural areas
Decades of working with local landscapers, builders and homeowners mean we know what works. Whether it’s concrete posts for coastal winds, closeboard fencing for privacy, or sleepers for soft clay ground, we advise based on real-world results, not guesswork.
A Purpose-Built Yard: Stock, Service and Speed
In 2012 we expanded into our dedicated site on Stowmarket Business Park — a move that allowed us to hold larger stock levels, offer faster turnaround times, and supply bulk quantities directly to trade customers.
We stock thousands of products across fencing, timber, decking, sleepers, gates, concrete products and landscaping supplies — all available for fast delivery throughout Suffolk and East Anglia.
Whether you’re building a single garden or managing a full development, we have the stock ready when you need it.
