Those narrow Victorian terraces around Mitcham Common deserve proper boundaries. Closeboard panels bring privacy and security whether you're backing onto the railway line or facing busy London Road.

Mitcham's mix of period properties and newer estates creates interesting fencing challenges. From the compact gardens near Figges Marsh to the larger plots bordering Mitcham Common, closeboard construction adapts brilliantly. Solid timber boards overlapped vertically create windproof barriers that handle everything from noisy neighbours to the constant breeze across the Common.
Each closeboard panel gets built using pressure-treated softwood featherboards, typically 125mm wide. Horizontal arris rails support the vertical boards while gravel boards protect against ground moisture - essential given Mitcham's clay soil. Posts sink 600mm deep with concrete, ensuring stability even when local kids use your fence as a football goal. The overlapping design allows natural timber movement without creating gaps.
Living in Mitcham since the 80s means understanding which gardens flood near Phipps Bridge and where the wind whistles through from Colliers Wood. Your fencing stands stronger when installed by someone who knows the terrain.

Budget £65-95 per linear metre including installation. A typical Mitcham terrace needing 20 metres of fencing runs £1,300-1,900. Concrete posts add £15 per metre but last decades longer than timber.
Daily installations throughout CR4 and SW16 postcodes. Regular work takes us from Eastfields to Pollards Hill, covering everywhere between Tooting junction and Morden tube.
Most Mitcham jobs begin within 10-14 days of booking. A standard 25-metre boundary takes two days, weather permitting. Emergency repairs after storms often happen same week.
Pressure-treated closeboard panels carry a decade's protection against rot. Annual preservative treatment extends lifespan beyond 25 years. Posts and gravel boards remain guaranteed for the full ten years.
Stepped panels follow gradients beautifully - common requirement given Mitcham's undulating landscape towards Beddington. Each section adjusts height while maintaining consistent appearance. Costs remain similar to level installations.
