Strong winds sweeping through West Wickham gardens deserve equally robust boundaries. Closeboard fencing stands firm where lesser panels fail, offering privacy that matches the character of BR4's diverse properties.

Victorian villas near the High Street often feature narrow side returns that demand precise fencing solutions. Closeboard construction adapts brilliantly to these challenging spaces, following uneven ground levels common around Coney Hall. Those sloping gardens towards Hayes Lane? Traditional overlapping boards handle gradient changes without unsightly stepping.
Each vertical board overlaps its neighbour by 25mm, creating a weatherproof barrier impervious to driving rain. Galvanised nails secure featherboard directly to horizontal rails, themselves morticed into pressure-treated posts. This time-tested method eliminates gaps that plague cheaper alternatives, particularly important given BR4's exposed hilltop position. Gravel boards protect against soil contact, essential for properties backing onto Sparrows Den playing fields.
Twenty-three years fitting fences between Bromley and Beckenham means knowing exactly which timber merchants supply properly seasoned boards. Local knowledge matters when navigating West Wickham's mix of clay soils and chalk deposits.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard 6ft closeboard panels run £85-110 per metre installed throughout BR4, though narrow passages or difficult access can add 15-20%. Corner plots near Glebe Way often need extra bracing, affecting final costs.
Absolutely - from Spring Park's leafy avenues to properties bordering Addington Golf Course. Regular work takes us through all BR4 districts including Coney Hall and towards the Beckenham boundary.
Emergency repairs typically happen within 48 hours, while complete garden perimeters take 3-5 days depending on length. Most West Wickham properties require 2-3 days for standard rear boundaries.
Every installation carries decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. Pressure-treated posts resist rot for 10+ years, crucial given BR4's variable weather patterns between sheltered valleys and exposed ridges.
Concrete posts work perfectly with closeboard - we'll bolt new rails directly to sound posts, saving considerable expense. Many 1960s West Wickham estates have robust concrete posts worth retaining.
