Those Victorian terraces along Mayow Road deserve boundaries that complement their character. Panel fencing brings privacy and definition to Sydenham gardens, whether you're updating a tired perimeter or starting fresh.

Sydenham's mix of period homes and modern developments creates unique fencing challenges. From compact courtyard gardens near the station to the more generous plots towards Bell Green, each property demands thoughtful boundary solutions. Panel systems adapt brilliantly to SE26's varying elevations and soil conditions, particularly where neighbouring gardens sit at different levels.
Modern fence panels combine treated timber with clever engineering to withstand everything London weather throws at them. Gravel boards protect against ground moisture while overlapping slats prevent warping. Installation depth matters here – Sydenham's clay-heavy soil requires proper post foundations, typically 600mm minimum. Concrete postcrete sets quickly even in damp conditions, ensuring panels stay true through seasonal ground movement.
Twenty years working across Forest Hill and Penge taught us which materials last in this microclimate. Local knowledge beats generic solutions every time, especially when navigating the quirks of SE26's sloping gardens and mature tree roots.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most three-bed terraced properties in SE26 require 20-30 panels for full perimeter coverage. Budget £800-£1,400 including posts and installation, though corner plots near Sydenham Park may need additional panels.
Absolutely – from properties backing onto Sydenham Wells Park to homes near Crystal Palace FC's training ground. Regular work takes us through Lower Sydenham, up to the High Street, and across to Penge borders.
Emergency replacements often complete within 48 hours of confirmation. Full garden installations typically span 2-3 days, weather permitting. Smaller boundary sections between neighbours usually finish in a single day.
Each installation carries decade-long protection against structural failure. This covers post stability, panel integrity, and fitting quality – essentially everything except storm damage or deliberate vandalism. All timber comes pre-treated with manufacturer backing.
Stepped installation handles most SE26 slopes beautifully. Panels maintain horizontal lines while posts adjust to gradient changes. For severe slopes towards Wells Park, we sometimes recommend graded panels that follow the terrain more naturally.
