Living between Streatham Hill's bustling streets and quieter Furzedown roads means privacy matters. Closeboard fencing suits these contrasting neighbourhoods perfectly - tall enough to block curious eyes, robust enough to handle London's unpredictable weather. Each overlapping board creates a solid barrier that works brilliantly with the mix of period properties and modern developments scattered across SW16 and SW2.
Installation starts with concrete posts set deep into London clay - essential given how waterlogged Streatham gardens become each winter. Timber rails slot precisely between posts before individual featherboards overlap vertically, creating that distinctive closeboard appearance. Gravel boards protect the base from soil contact, particularly important where those sloping gardens near Streatham Common meet boundary lines. Every panel gets treated against rot, crucial for south London's damp climate.
Twenty years fitting fences around Streatham means knowing exactly which heights work with local planning rules. Local teams understand the quirks of terraced gardens where neighbouring levels rarely match.

Absolutely - from Streatham Hill station down to Furzedown recreation ground, covering every street in SW16 and SW2. Regular projects around Streatham Common and the surrounding residential areas.
Most Victorian terrace gardens (15-20 metres) take 2-3 days including old fence removal. Larger properties near Streatham Common might need 4-5 days depending on access.
Each installation includes decade-long coverage against structural issues. Pressure-treated timber and galvanised fixings ensure your fence withstands everything from summer heatwaves to those harsh Streatham winters.
Stepped panels handle most slopes beautifully - particularly useful for properties backing onto Streatham Common's undulating borders. Alternatively, raked installations follow ground contours smoothly, though this requires custom cutting on-site.
