Those steep slopes around Warlingham's hillside properties deserve fencing that won't buckle under pressure. Closeboard panels adapt beautifully to uneven terrain, creating privacy without the maintenance headaches of cheaper alternatives.

CR6 residents know their gardens face unique challenges – from the chalk slopes near Chelsham to the clay-heavy plots closer to Whyteleafe. Closeboard fencing handles these conditions particularly well. The overlapping featherboard design naturally sheds rainwater, preventing the rot issues that plague standard panel fencing in our damp winters. Most properties around Hamsey Green and upper Warlingham benefit from this traditional yet practical boundary solution.
Each closeboard fence starts with pressure-treated posts concreted deep enough to handle Warlingham's variable soil conditions. Horizontal rails get fixed at precise heights before individual boards overlap by 25mm minimum. This construction method means damaged sections can be replaced board-by-board rather than scrapping entire panels. The gravel boards at ground level protect against splash-back damage – essential given how many driveways here slope towards boundary lines.
Twenty years installing fencing across the North Downs has taught us which timber grades survive longest in CR6's microclimate. Local knowledge matters when you're dealing with everything from exposed ridgeline properties to sheltered valley gardens.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Budget around £85-110 per linear metre including installation. Sloping sites near Woldingham Road might push costs higher due to stepped panels, while level gardens in central Warlingham usually sit at the lower end.
Absolutely – from the heights of Chelsham right through to the Caterham borders. Regular projects take us throughout Warlingham village, up to Farleigh and across to Whyteleafe's residential streets.
A typical Warlingham semi-detached property takes 2-3 days for complete boundary replacement. Larger plots near Farleigh Court might need 4-5 days, weather permitting.
Every fence carries decade-long protection against structural failure. The pressure-treated timber resists rot naturally, but we'll replace any posts or rails that deteriorate within ten years at no charge.
The overlapping board design actually performs better in windy locations than solid panels. Air flows through the tiny gaps between boards, reducing wind resistance significantly. Properties near Bug Hill regularly choose closeboard specifically for this reason.
