Those Victorian terraces throughout SE13 deserve boundaries that match their character. Closeboard fencing brings privacy and elegance to Lewisham gardens, whether you're dealing with the sloping plots near Hither Green or the more generous spaces towards Manor Park.
Response within 24 hours
Traditional closeboard construction has protected Lewisham gardens for generations. The overlapping vertical boards create an incredibly sturdy barrier that handles everything from autumn storms rolling in off the Thames to the occasional football from next door. Many SE13 residents prefer this style because it complements both period properties and contemporary extensions equally well. Plus, the natural timber grain adds warmth that metal alternatives simply can't match.
Each panel starts with pressure-treated posts set deep into concrete footings - essential given the clay-heavy soil common around Lewisham Park. Feather-edge boards overlap by 25mm minimum, secured with galvanised nails to horizontal rails. The capping rail protects against moisture ingress while adding that finished appearance. Heights typically range from 1.2m for front boundaries to 1.8m where maximum privacy matters, though we'll check any conservation area restrictions affecting your particular street.
Twenty-three years installing fencing across South East London means understanding exactly which timber grades survive our climate best. Local knowledge matters when navigating the patchwork of boundary ownership throughout SE13's residential streets.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most three-bedroom Victorian properties in SE13 need approximately 25-30 linear metres of fencing, which generally falls between £2,400-£3,600 including removal of existing panels. Corner plots or those backing onto the railway line often require slightly more.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas around Blackheath borders to the residential streets near Lewisham station. Regular projects include properties along Dermody Road, around Mountsfield Park, and throughout the Hither Green lanes.
Standard back gardens in SE13 typically take 2-3 days from start to finish. Larger plots or those requiring significant ground preparation might extend to 4 days, particularly if we're dealing with uneven terrain or old concrete posts.
Every installation includes decade-long coverage against structural failure, plus all timber arrives pre-treated with preservative rated for 15+ years. The guarantee covers both materials and workmanship, with annual check-ups available if desired.
Stepped installation works perfectly for SE13's varied topography. Rather than leaving gaps under panels, we adjust each section's height to follow your garden's natural contours, maintaining both security and visual appeal throughout the boundary line.
