Those chalk-soil gardens around Sevenoaks deserve boundaries built to last. Closeboard fencing stands up brilliantly to our Kent weather, creating privacy without compromising the character of your property.

Traditional closeboard remains the top choice across Sevenoaks for good reason. Victorian properties near The Vine particularly benefit from its classic aesthetic. From compact terraces in Dunton Green to sprawling plots towards Kemsing, this fencing style adapts beautifully. Local planning considerations rarely object to well-installed closeboard either.
Each vertical feather-edge board overlaps its neighbour by precisely 25mm, creating windproof barriers that cope with those gusty days when storms roll in from the Downs. Gravel boards protect against rot where your lawn meets the fence line. Posts get concreted 600mm deep minimum - essential given how clay shifts during our wet winters. Arris rails run horizontally at two heights, keeping everything rigid.
Twenty-three years installing fences between Otford and Seal has taught us which timber merchants supply boards that won't warp. Your neighbours will appreciate the attention to detail when we're working alongside their boundaries too.

Standard 6ft closeboard panels run £75-95 per linear metre installed, though steeper gardens towards Ide Hill might push costs up 15-20%. Corner plots and curved boundaries also affect pricing.
Absolutely - from riverside properties in TN13 through to rural plots in TN15. Regular installations happen in Otford, Dunton Green, and all surrounding villages within a 6-mile radius of Sevenoaks station.
Most suburban gardens around Bradbourne Vale Road or Granville Road take 2-3 days. Larger boundaries or complicated slopes might stretch to a week.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against structural failure. Pressure-treated posts and rails won't rot, boards stay secure, and we'll return if storms cause unexpected damage within those ten years.
Stepped installations handle most gradients perfectly - particularly useful for properties backing onto Knole Park or the steeper roads near Wildernesse. Each panel follows the contour whilst maintaining consistent height.
