If your garden boundary needs replacing, we install robust fencing that suits the look of BR2 streets and rear gardens. Our team regularly works near Shortlands station and around Ravensbourne, so we understand the access and parking realities of local roads. Expect tidy removal of old panels, accurate lines, and a finish that looks intentional from both sides. Every fence is set out to match your levels and prevent future leaning.
Shortlands has a mix of large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, often with long side returns and mature planting. That means fencing needs to be straight, secure and sympathetic to period gardens rather than overly bulky. We advise on heights, sightlines and privacy so the new boundary complements patios, lawns and planting beds. For homeowners wanting airflow and light, we can blend solid panels with trellis sections.
We start with a site visit to measure runs, check levels, and agree the best post and board specification. Installation includes proper post depth, aligned bays, and gravel boards where needed to keep timber clear of damp soil. You’ll get clear options, a written scope, and a schedule that respects neighbours and shared boundaries. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, clean workmanship, and a 10-year warranty.
Gardens around Bromley and Beckenham can have mixed ground, from compacted clay to made-up borders, so we size post holes and concrete footing accordingly. Access is often via side passages or shared drives, so we plan material deliveries and keep walkways clear. Where boundaries meet public paths or neighbouring land, we help you choose heights and finishes that suit typical London Borough of Bromley expectations. We also match styles to period façades and established planting schemes.

Costs vary with height, access, and the specification you choose. As a guide, supply-and-install for standard lap panels typically starts around £90–£140 per metre, while closeboard/feather edge fencing is often £120–£190 per metre. Concrete posts and gravel boards can add cost but improve longevity. Removal of old fencing, awkward access near side passages, and sloping ground can also affect the final figure.
Most residential runs are completed in 1–2 days, with longer boundaries taking 3–5 days. Timescales depend on the number of bays, whether old posts need digging out, and how much levelling is required. Closeboard and feather edge builds can take longer than slot-in panels due to extra fixing and framing. Weather, restricted access, and working around planting or patios can also extend the job slightly.
In many cases, garden fencing is permitted development, especially when it’s within your boundary and under typical height limits. Rules can differ for front gardens, boundaries next to highways, and listed buildings, and there may be extra considerations in conservation areas. We’ll talk through your layout in Shortlands, check heights and positions, and flag any situations where you should confirm details with the London Borough of Bromley before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for panel fencing installations, covering issues such as post movement, fixings, and alignment where the fence has been installed to our specification. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme events, or alterations by third parties, and timber ageing/colour change is natural. We’ll also advise on maintenance and ventilation to help your fence perform well over the long term.
We install lap panels, closeboard/feather edge, hit & miss designs for airflow, and trellis-top options for a lighter finish. Posts can be timber for a traditional look or concrete for maximum stability, often paired with gravel boards to keep panels off wet ground. We’ll help you choose heights, finishes, and transitions (such as stepping on slopes) to suit your garden layout, privacy needs, and the style of your property.
