Those Victorian terraces stretching through Croydon deserve boundaries that match their character. Closeboard fencing brings timeless elegance to properties from Waddon's tree-lined streets to the bustling heart of Selhurst.

Croydon's diverse mix of housing – from 1930s semis to modern developments near East Croydon station – presents unique fencing challenges. Sloping gardens near Lloyd Park, narrow access paths typical of South Croydon's older properties, and the clay soil common across CR postcodes all demand careful planning. Years of installing closeboard panels throughout the borough means understanding these quirks inside out.
Each featherboard overlaps its neighbour, creating a weatherproof barrier that flexes naturally with seasonal movement. Pressure-treated timber posts sink deep into concrete footings, while arris rails provide horizontal strength across spans up to three metres. Gravel boards protect the bottom edge from moisture damage – particularly important given Croydon's unpredictable rainfall patterns and those heavy clay soils that hold water.
Local knowledge matters when your garden backs onto the Tramlink or sits on one of Croydon's many hills. Every installation considers sight lines, prevailing winds, and neighbouring properties to create boundaries that last.

Standard installations range from £85-120 per metre including materials and labour. Corner plots common in Waddon may require additional posts, while straightforward runs along South Croydon's regular boundaries often fall at the lower end.
Absolutely – from the conservation areas of CR2 to the redevelopment zones of CR0, including all of Selhurst (CR7). Recent projects include properties near Wandle Park and along the Brighton Road corridor.
Most Croydon gardens see completion within 2-3 days. Larger boundaries or those requiring significant ground preparation might extend to 4-5 days, weather permitting.
Every fence carries a decade-long warranty covering materials and workmanship. The pressure-treated timber resists rot naturally, while proper installation techniques ensure posts remain stable through Croydon's freeze-thaw cycles.
The overlapping board design actually performs brilliantly in exposed locations. Unlike solid panels, closeboard allows controlled air movement, reducing wind resistance while maintaining complete privacy – ideal for hilltop properties around Coombe Lane.
