Those narrow Victorian plots in Colliers Wood deserve proper boundaries that last. Closeboard fencing transforms overlooked side returns and creates private havens, even when your neighbour's kitchen window feels uncomfortably close.

Between the Tandem Centre's bustle and quieter residential streets, SW19 properties face unique fencing challenges. Sloping gardens towards the Wandle, awkward angles from 1930s plot divisions, and that eternal London question of 'whose fence is it anyway?' all need addressing. Closeboard panels offer the sturdiest answer, built to withstand everything from enthusiastic fox families to the occasional stray football from Wandle Park.
Each timber board overlaps its neighbour by precisely 25mm, creating windproof barriers that won't rattle during autumn storms. Pressure-treated posts sink 600mm deep - essential given Colliers Wood's clay soil that swells after heavy rain. Gravel boards protect the bottom edge from moisture creeping up from waterlogged lawns, whilst arris rails provide horizontal strength every property boundary needs.
Living here since the Northern line extension announcement, we've watched gardens evolve alongside property prices. Your fencing contractor should understand which boundaries belong to whom in these tightly-packed streets, and why that matters when discussing fence heights with neighbours.

Standard three-bed semis here usually need 35-45 metres of fencing. Budget £75-95 per metre for quality closeboard installation, though corner plots near Christchurch Road might push higher due to extra length.
Absolutely - those narrow passages between SW19's Victorian terraces are our bread and butter. We'll hand-carry materials through if needed, protecting your neighbour's clematis in the process.
Emergency repairs happen within 48 hours. Complete fence runs for average Colliers Wood gardens take 3-4 days, weather permitting. Larger corner properties might need an extra day.
Closeboard fencing carries decade-long protection against rot and insect damage. Should any boards fail within ten years due to defects (not storm damage or climbing teenagers), they're replaced free of charge.
Not necessarily - closeboard's vertical lines actually make compact spaces feel taller. Many converted flats near Colliers Wood station use 1.2m closeboard for privacy without overwhelming tiny gardens.
