Response within 24 hours
If your boundary is leaning, tired or too low for privacy, we deliver fencing that looks right and performs well year-round. We work across SW12, including around Balham station and Bedford Hill, fitting new runs and carrying out reliable repairs. Choose from close board, panel, picket, trellis or acoustic fencing depending on your garden and neighbours. Every job is measured carefully so posts, lines and levels stay true.
Balham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often comes with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. That means fencing needs to be straight, strong and sympathetic to period features while still giving modern privacy. We regularly support homeowners in Balham Hill, Nightingale and Clapham South where access can be tight and side returns are common. Our recommendations balance durability, appearance and budget for the way these properties are laid out.
We start with a site visit, confirm boundary lines, then advise the best construction method for your soil and exposure. Old fencing is removed and disposed of responsibly, posts are set securely, and we keep paths and planting protected throughout. You’ll get clear pricing, a written scope and a tidy handover. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, punctual scheduling and a 10-year warranty on installations.
We’re used to the practicalities of fencing in the London Borough of Wandsworth, including parking constraints and narrow access near Balham High Road. Ground conditions can vary between compacted garden soils and made-up ground, so we choose post depth and fixings accordingly. Where boundaries back onto shared alleys or neighbouring gardens, we plan for safe working and clear communication. Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so we can respond quickly for repairs.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in Balham fall within £80–£150 per metre, depending on height, timber grade, post type and whether you choose close board, panels, trellis topping or acoustic fencing. Typical total spend is around £1,200–£3,500 for a garden run, including removal of old fencing and installation. Repairs are usually cheaper, but costs vary with access, waste disposal and how many posts or panels need replacing.
A straightforward replacement run is commonly completed in 1–3 days. Timing depends on the length of fencing, how many posts need new concrete footings, and whether we’re working around planting, patios or tight side access typical of terraces. Bad weather can slow setting times, and bespoke gates or acoustic systems may add a little extra time. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, garden fencing is permitted development, especially when replacing like-for-like. However, rules can change based on fence height, whether it borders a highway, and if your property is listed or within a conservation area. We’ll talk through your frontage and boundary positions and flag any likely restrictions. If needed, we can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Wandsworth before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on new fencing installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as post stability and fixings. It’s designed to give peace of mind that your fence will remain secure and properly aligned. Natural timber movement, weathering and routine maintenance (like staining or treating where appropriate) aren’t faults, but we’ll advise how to maximise lifespan. Repairs are also covered for the agreed scope of work.
We install close board fencing for strong privacy, panel fencing for a neat, cost-effective boundary, picket fencing for front gardens, and trellis fencing to add height without blocking light. For noise reduction, we can specify acoustic fencing systems suited to busier roads. We’ll help you choose height, post finish (timber or concrete), gravel boards and gate options based on your garden layout, exposure and the look of your property.
