Those narrow alleyways between Thornton Heath's Victorian terraces deserve proper boundaries. Closeboard panels transform cramped spaces into private sanctuaries, whether you're backing onto the railway line or sharing a fence with neighbours.

Thornton Heath's mix of housing throws up interesting fencing challenges. From the compact gardens behind Brigstock Road's terraces to the larger plots near Grangewood Park, closeboard remains the go-to choice for homeowners wanting robust privacy. The overlapping vertical boards handle our unpredictable weather better than cheaper alternatives, especially when autumn storms sweep through from South Norwood way.
Each closeboard panel gets assembled using pressure-treated timber boards, typically 100-125mm wide, fixed to horizontal rails with galvanised nails. The overlapping design creates zero gaps - crucial when your garden faces busy London Road traffic. Gravel boards at the base protect against rot where CR7's clay soil stays damp through winter. Posts sink 600mm deep, concreted to withstand everything from kids' footballs to next door's wandering cats.
Fifteen years fitting fences across Thornton Heath means knowing which timber merchants stock quality materials, not the warped stuff. Local knowledge counts when navigating rear access through those tight Victorian passages or working around established boundaries that have stood since the estates were built.

A standard 20-metre run (common for CR7 terraces) runs £1,400-£1,800 fitted. Corner plots or those backing onto allotments needing 40+ metres typically see £2,800-£3,500. Concrete posts add roughly £15 per metre but last decades longer.
Every street in CR7 falls within our patch - from the newer builds off Whitehorse Road to the period properties near the High Street. Same-day quotes for Selhurst, South Norwood and Broad Green too.
Emergency repairs often sorted within 48 hours if panels are in stock. Complete garden refencing typically takes 2-3 days, weather permitting. Larger boundaries might stretch to a week.
Every fence carries a decade-long guarantee covering timber defects and installation issues. Posts, rails and boards all pressure-treated to resist rot. Annual treatment advice included to maximise lifespan in CR7's damp conditions.
Stepped panels handle Thornton Heath's gentle slopes perfectly. For steeper drops, we'll cut boards to follow the gradient smoothly. Either method keeps your fence line looking sharp rather than gappy at the bottom.
