Those Victorian terraces throughout Wimbledon deserve boundaries that match their character. Closeboard fencing remains the gold standard for privacy and durability, particularly when navigating the sloping gardens common between Wimbledon Village and Raynes Park.

Wimbledon's mix of period properties and modern developments creates unique fencing challenges. Whether you're dealing with the awkward boundaries typical of converted plots near South Wimbledon station or the generous gardens stretching towards Copse Hill, closeboard construction adapts perfectly. The overlapping vertical boards handle uneven ground brilliantly, something concrete panels simply can't match.
Each fence panel gets built on-site using pressure-treated timber boards fixed to sturdy rails. The featheredge boards overlap by roughly 25mm, creating that distinctive weatherproof barrier. Gravel boards protect the base from soil contact, while properly installed posts (concreted below the frost line) ensure decades of stability. This traditional method particularly suits Wimbledon's clay-heavy soil, which shifts seasonally.
Having installed fencing across SW19 and SW20 since the early 2000s, local knowledge matters enormously. Understanding which boundaries require party wall agreements, navigating conservation area restrictions in Wimbledon Village, and knowing exactly where underground services typically run saves both time and unexpected costs.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Wimbledon gardens require 15-25 panels, putting costs between £2,800-£5,500 including removal of existing fencing. Longer boundaries or challenging access can push this higher, while straightforward installations on level ground cost less.
Absolutely - from the grand houses near Wimbledon Common to the terraced streets around Haydons Road, including Raynes Park, Wimbledon Village, and South Wimbledon. Same-week site visits throughout both SW19 and SW20.
A standard residential boundary (20-30 metres) takes 2-3 days from start to finish. Larger properties or complex installations might need 4-5 days, weather permitting.
Every installation includes a decade-long warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The pressure-treated timber carries manufacturer guarantees against rot, while our installation warranty ensures posts remain vertical and boards stay secure.
Stepped or raked installations work perfectly on Wimbledon's many sloping plots. The flexible construction method allows panels to follow ground contours smoothly, maintaining consistent height while accommodating drops of several metres.
