Those steep Forest Hill gardens deserve boundaries that work as hard as they look good. Panel fencing turns challenging slopes into secure, private spaces that complement SE23's mix of period properties.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces throughout Forest Hill often back onto narrow plots where privacy matters. Panel fencing creates instant screening between properties, particularly useful along those typical SE23 boundary lines where houses sit close together. Timber panels handle the area's undulating terrain far better than rigid alternatives, adapting to slopes that characterise gardens between Sydenham Hill and Honor Oak.
Each panel slots into concrete posts, creating a uniform height despite ground level changes. Pressure-treated timber resists the damp conditions common in tree-lined Forest Hill gardens. Gravel boards protect the bottom edge where soil levels vary, preventing premature rot where lawns meet fencing. Standard 6ft heights suit most SE23 properties, though 5ft options work brilliantly for front boundaries without overwhelming Victorian façades.
Twenty years installing fencing across South London means understanding which timber grades survive SE23's microclimate. Local knowledge matters when positioning panels to avoid prevailing winds funnelling up from Dulwich.




Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most SE23 gardens require 8-12 panels, costing £800-£1,400 including posts and installation. Corner plots near Honor Oak might need 15-20 panels, bringing costs to £1,500-£2,200.
Yes, from Dartmouth Road right through to Perry Vale, covering all residential streets in SE23 plus neighbouring areas of Honor Oak and upper Sydenham.
Standard Victorian terrace gardens take 1-2 days. Larger detached properties near Horniman Gardens might need 3 days, weather permitting.
All installations carry decade-long protection covering timber integrity and post stability. Pressure treatment ensures panels resist decay for 10+ years under normal SE23 conditions.
Absolutely - panels can be stepped or raked to follow slopes. Stepped installation creates level runs ideal for the hillside plots common between Sydenham and Dulwich, maintaining consistent height despite gradient changes.
