Those chalky Surrey slopes around Warlingham demand fencing that won't shift or sag. Panel installations here require understanding the terrain – something we've mastered after years working these hillside gardens.
Response within 24 hours
Warlingham's mix of established properties and newer developments creates diverse fencing challenges. From replacing weathered boundaries along Limpsfield Road to creating privacy for the newer builds near Hamsey Green, each project demands careful consideration. The area's undulating landscape means standard panel heights often need adjusting to maintain clean lines while following natural contours.
Concrete posts prove essential on these slopes – timber simply won't hold against the clay movement common in CR6 gardens. Gravel boards protect panel bases from the moisture that collects in valley properties. Strategic panel selection matters too: overlap styles handle the wind exposure better than traditional featheredge, particularly for gardens backing onto the open spaces near Chelsham Common.
Local knowledge counts when navigating Warlingham's planning quirks and boundary complexities. Years spent working between Whyteleafe's railway cuts and Caterham's conservation areas mean anticipating issues before they arise.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most semi-detached properties in CR6 require 15-20 panels for full perimeter coverage. Budget £1,200-£1,800 including concrete posts and gravel boards, though sloped gardens near Farleigh Road often push costs higher due to stepped installation requirements.
Absolutely – from the valley properties in central CR6 right up to the ridge developments. Regular projects include everything from Chelsham's farm conversions to the period homes dotted throughout Warlingham village.
Small runs of 6-8 panels typically complete within a day. Full garden replacements spanning 20+ panels usually require two days, accounting for old fence removal and the careful post setting these slopes demand.
All concrete posts and gravel boards carry a decade-long guarantee against structural failure. Pressure-treated panels themselves maintain integrity for 10 years minimum, even facing Warlingham's exposed hillside conditions where wind and rain test everything harder.
Often yes, provided they're plumb and crack-free. Many 1990s developments around Warlingham used quality concrete posts that outlast their panels by decades. Quick assessment determines suitability – potentially halving project costs when posts remain sound.
