A National Contractor Built on Long Relationships

Since 1980, Lowther has achieved sustained organic growth, expanding to five strategically located regional offices across the UK. This regional presence enables us to provide local resources, specialist expertise, and responsive support to clients from our offices in Penrith, Castleford, Runcorn, Milton Keynes, and the West Midlands.

We aim to keep the same project team with a scheme from tender through to completion. This approach maintains clear communication channels, preserves project knowledge, reduces interfaces and handovers, and minimises risk to programme, quality, and delivery.

That continuity is reinforced by specialist plant and equipment tailored to the unique demands of your site, underpinned by over 46 years of experience delivering successful projects. This longevity has refined our approach, strengthening collaboration, improving efficiency, and ensuring reliable project delivery.

Common Questions About Our Fencing Services

Are you NHSS 18A, 18B and 18C accredited?
Yes, across landscaping and arboriculture. We also hold NHSS 2A and 2C for fencing, and we are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified across the business.
Is your contract coverage nationwide?
Yes. Our regional teams deliver contracts nationwide. Five offices across the UK (Penrith, Castleford, Runcorn, Milton Keynes and the West Midlands) mean project teams come from the office closest to your site. Tree surveying and Advanced Tree Assessments are run from our Penrith team and travel nationally.
Do you have your own specialist plant?
Yes. We operate a specialist fleet that includes Metrac mountain tractors, ultra-low ground pressure plant, amphibious equipment for in-channel and reedbed work, robotic mowers, hydroseeding units and advanced post-driving and auger equipment for fencing. For high-security fencing installations, we complete engineered concrete formwork and foundation work in-house. Our own contract-grow nursery provides trees, shrubs and hedging at scale for major landscape schemes.
How do tender enquiries work?
Contact any of our five regional offices or use the enquiry form on our website. Tender enquiries are managed by our regional managers, who are generally the first point of contact for PQQs and pricing. Where possible, the same contracts manager who prices the work carries it through to delivery, so you are dealing with someone who knows the scope from the start.
Can you take on multiple high-security fencing projects at once?
We are selective about the high-security projects we commit to, so that every contract receives the management attention and specialist resource it needs. We would rather deliver two projects to a high standard than stretch across three and compromise on quality. If you have a programme of work, we are happy to discuss phasing and capacity early in the tender process.
