Why builders are switching 
from timber to aluminium

Timber fencing might look cheaper on the quote but by the time you've accounted for install time, maintenance callbacks, and the long-term cost to your client, aluminium consistently comes out ahead. Here's the honest comparison.

Install time
Aluminium Faster pre-fabricated panels, fewer cuts, no sealing required on site.
Timber Slower. Requires cutting, treating, and drying time.
Maintenance
Aluminium Virtually zero. Powder-coated finish resists rust, rot, and UV damage.
Timber Ongoing. Needs staining, painting, or oiling every 2–3 years.
Lifespan
Aluminium 25+ years with no structural degradation.
Timber 10–15 years before replacement is typically needed.
Builder margin
Aluminium Higher margin per job due to faster install and fewer callbacks.
Timber Lower effective margin once maintenance callbacks are factored in.
Client perception
Aluminium Premium, modern, low-maintenance — a selling point for the property.
Timber Traditional look but perceived as high-maintenance by buyers.
Sustainability
Aluminium 100% recyclable. No chemical treatments required.
Timber Treated timber uses chemicals; harder to recycle at end of life.

The bottom line

Aluminium fencing typically installs 30–40% faster than timber equivalents, eliminates maintenance callbacks, and delivers a better-looking finish that clients value.

If you're still defaulting to timber on residential builds, it's worth running the numbers on your next project — we can help with that.

What builders say

Builders who partner with Urban Group

We measure our success by your build schedule and your margin. Here’s what builders who’ve made the switch have to say about working with us.

“We've worked with Urban Group on a number of projects and have always found them great to deal with. Their fencing systems are straightforward to install, which helps keep things moving on site, and their ability to supply stock quickly has been invaluable when programmes are tight. I'd happily recommend Urban Group to other builders looking for a dependable supplier and quality products”

Frequently asked questions

Most builders we work with did too. They switched because late deliveries and product failures on site were costing them more than the margin they were saving. One job going wrong is expensive.

Aluminium can cost more initially, but the cheapest option isn't always the most economical. When you factor in maintenance, repairs, replacements, and site delays, aluminium often delivers better value over the long term.

That's exactly where we add the most value. From custom gates and architectural fencing to multi-stage developments, we work closely with builders, architects, and project teams to ensure products are specified correctly, manufactured to suit the project, and delivered when needed.

We carry a broad range of products in stock and ready for collection or dispatch. For account holders, orders placed before 10am can often be shipped the next business day, with overnight delivery available nationwide. Whether you need delivery to site or your nearest depot, we can help get products where they need to be, when they need to be there, helping you keep your project on schedule.

Yes. Our support doesn't stop when the product leaves the factory. If your team has questions during installation or encounters an issue on site, we're available to provide technical guidance and help find a solution quickly.
