Your garden, considered
A boundary that works for everyday life
A fence gives privacy, keeps children and pets in and frames the garden. Most fence problems start below ground: a post that has rotted or a footing that has moved. We look at the whole run before recommending repair or replacement.
We help you choose the style, height and post type, then remove the old fence, set new posts in concrete and fit the panels, boards and gates.
Forest Hill gardens are often narrow, so fencing makes up a large share of what you see. Slatted or closeboard fencing in a consistent colour can make the space feel calmer.

Materials & possibilities
Choose a fence for the space, not just the photograph
We help you weigh privacy, appearance and durability.
A good repair starts at the post
When a fence leans or rattles, the posts and footings are usually the cause. We check every post on the run. Sometimes replacing a few posts and panels is enough; sometimes the whole line needs renewing.

Fencing planned around your Forest Hill property
We take fencing enquiries across Forest Hill, including Honor Oak, Sydenham and Horniman Gardens. Forest Hill's Victorian houses sit on hills, so many rear gardens slope and benefit from levels, steps and drainage. Our base is in Norbury, SW16, about 3 miles from Forest Hill.

Fencing in Forest Hill: your questions
Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsHow high can my fence be in Forest Hill?
Usually up to 2 metres without planning permission, or 1 metre beside a road or footpath. Conservation areas may have extra controls.
Concrete or timber posts?
Concrete posts last longer and do not rot. Timber posts suit some styles. We will explain the options for your fence.
Can you replace just a few panels?
Yes, if the posts are sound. If posts have failed, replacing panels alone will not fix the problem.
Who owns the fence?
Check your title deeds. If the fence is shared, agree the work with your neighbour first.
Do you cover all of Forest Hill?
Yes. We work across Forest Hill (SE23), including Honor Oak, Sydenham and Horniman Gardens, and nearby areas such as Honor Oak and Sydenham. Our base is in Norbury, SW16, about 3 miles from Forest Hill.
