Those steep Forest Hill gradients demand security fencing that actually works with the landscape, not against it. Victorian terraces, modern developments, and everything in between – each property here needs its own approach to perimeter protection.

Security concerns shift dramatically between the bustling high street and quieter residential pockets around Horniman Gardens. Properties backing onto railway embankments face unique access challenges, whilst corner plots near the station require clever sight-line management. Forest Hill's mix of period conversions and new builds means standard fencing rarely fits the bill.
Anti-climb mesh panels integrate seamlessly with existing Victorian brickwork when powder-coated in heritage colours. Height restrictions vary between conservation areas and standard residential zones – crucial knowledge when specifying 1.8m versus 2.4m installations. Modern galvanised steel offers thirty-year corrosion resistance, particularly important given SE23's exposure to both urban pollution and mature tree coverage.
Twenty years securing Forest Hill properties has taught us which solutions actually deter intruders versus simply looking imposing. Local schools trust our DBS-cleared teams, and neighbouring residents appreciate minimal disruption during term-time installations.

Standard terraced gardens (15-20m boundaries) generally range £2,800-£4,200 including posts and concrete. Larger detached properties near Sydenham Hill might reach £6,000-£8,500 depending on access complexity and finish specifications.
Absolutely – from Honor Oak's tree-lined avenues to properties bordering Dulwich Wood, we cover all SE23 postcodes. Regular projects include schools near Sydenham and commercial sites throughout the area.
Emergency temporary fencing goes up within 48 hours. Permanent installations typically complete within 5-7 working days, weather permitting. Planning applications (where required) add 6-8 weeks.
All installations carry decade-long structural guarantees covering posts, panels and fixings. Galvanised finishes resist rust for 25+ years, whilst powder coatings maintain appearance for 10-15 years minimum.
Magnetic locks, keypads and intercom systems integrate smoothly with most fence designs. Electric gates suit wider Forest Hill driveways, whilst pedestrian access points work brilliantly for shared pathways common in converted properties.
