Those narrow passages between Tooting's terraced houses demand fencing that maximises every inch. Closeboard panels create the perfect boundary without eating into precious garden space.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian properties across SW17 often share surprisingly tight boundaries where neighbours' kitchen extensions nearly touch. Installing closeboard fencing in these confined spaces requires careful planning and experienced hands. Years of working between Tooting Bec's period homes has taught us exactly how to navigate awkward corners and uneven ground levels typical of these older plots.
Closeboard construction involves overlapping vertical boards fixed to horizontal rails, creating a solid barrier that handles London weather brilliantly. Each panel gets assembled on-site, allowing adjustments for sloping gardens common near Furzedown recreation ground. The overlapping design prevents gaps forming as timber naturally moves through seasons. Pressure-treated boards resist moisture damage particularly well in shaded side returns where many SW17 properties struggle with damp conditions.
Local knowledge matters when boundary lines follow century-old property deeds. Having installed hundreds of metres along Tooting Broadway's residential streets, we understand which approaches work best for different plot configurations.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard 6ft closeboard panels run £65-85 per linear metre installed, though narrow access between terraces might add 10-15% for manual handling. Most Tooting gardens need 20-40 metres total.
Absolutely - from Franciscan Road's larger plots to the compact yards off Mitcham Road, we install throughout SW17 including Tooting Bec and Furzedown areas.
Typical terrace boundaries take 2-3 days including old fence removal. Larger corner plots near Tooting Common might need 4-5 days depending on access routes.
All closeboard installations carry decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. Pressure-treated timber withstands SW17's variable climate when properly installed with adequate ground clearance.
Stepped installation handles slopes beautifully - each panel adjusts independently. Many gardens dropping towards Graveney tributaries benefit from this flexible approach over rigid panel systems.
