Those narrow alleyways between Bexley's terraced houses deserve proper boundary treatment. Closeboard panels handle the wind tunnels and awkward angles that characterise so many DA5 gardens.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian properties around Bexley Broadway often feature challenging rear access and sloping gardens where standard fence panels simply won't work. Closeboard construction adapts brilliantly to uneven ground levels typical of properties backing onto the River Cray. The overlapping vertical boards create a robust barrier that follows your garden's natural contours without compromising strength.
Each featherboard gets individually fixed to horizontal rails, allowing millimetre-perfect adjustment around manholes, inspection covers and those awkward BT junction boxes scattered throughout DA5's older estates. Heavy-duty posts sink 600mm below ground level - essential given Bexley's clay soil expansion issues. Gravel boards protect the timber base from splash-back during those November downpours that turn side returns into temporary streams.
Living near Danson Park means understanding how mature trees affect boundary stability. Fifteen years navigating root protection zones and preservation orders across Bexleyheath and Crayford brings perspective you won't find elsewhere.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
A three-bed semi-detached property in DA5 usually requires 35-45 linear metres of fencing. Expect £85-£110 per metre including removal of existing panels, though corner plots near Old Bexley might reach £125 per metre due to access restrictions.
Absolutely - from the conservation area around St Mary's Church to the newer developments off Woolwich Road. Regular projects in Sidcup, plus the estates between Bexleyheath station and Crayford mean intimate knowledge of local ground conditions.
Most Bexley gardens take 2-3 days, though properties backing onto the railway line near Barnehurst sometimes need an extra morning for Network Rail permissions. Weather permitting, naturally.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against structural failure. Pressure-treated timber resists fungal attack while galvanised fixings prevent rust streaks on your patio. Annual treatment recommendations help panels outlast the guarantee period considerably.
Certainly - integrated trellis tops add 300-450mm height without planning permission concerns. The diagonal lattice complements closeboard's vertical lines beautifully. Many Bexley gardeners request this combination for extra privacy from overlooking windows.
