Those Victorian homes around Shortlands station deserve proper boundary treatment. Whether you're securing a compact BR1 garden or enclosing sprawling Bickley grounds, closeboard remains the gold standard for privacy and durability.

Bromley's mix of period properties and newer developments creates unique fencing challenges. Clay soil shifts, mature tree roots, and varying garden levels mean your panels need expert positioning. Traditional closeboard construction handles these local conditions better than off-the-shelf alternatives – each vertical board flexes independently, adapting to ground movement common across BR2 and BR3.
Installation starts with concrete posts set 600mm deep – essential given Bromley's heavy clay. Arris rails slot precisely into mortices, creating a framework that won't sag. Individual feather-edge boards overlap by 25mm, nailed through thick sections only. This centuries-old technique prevents splitting whilst allowing natural timber movement through seasons.

Most three-bed semis around Bickley need 15-20 panels, putting costs between £1,800-£2,600 including posts and gravel boards. Corner plots or those backing onto Sundridge Park Golf Course typically run higher.
Absolutely – BR1 forms our core patch, extending through BR2 (Shortlands, Bickley) into BR3 (Sundridge). Recent projects include Mason's Hill allotments and several properties along Westmoreland Road.
Emergency repairs typically happen within 48 hours. Full garden installations book 2-3 weeks ahead during spring, though winter slots often open up sooner.
Pressure-treated timber carries decade-long protection against rot and insect damage. Should any boards twist or cup within ten years, replacements arrive free of charge – labour included for manufacturing defects.
Stepped installation follows Bromley's natural contours perfectly. Each panel stays vertical whilst gravel boards graduate the height changes. Much neater than attempting to rack panels on hillside plots common around Sundridge.
