Composite fencing panels are manufactured from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic polymers, producing a material that looks like timber but requires virtually no maintenance. It will never rot, warp, split, or need repainting — making it an excellent long-term investment for busy homeowners in Wimbledon, Clapham, and Sutton. Composite fencing is available in a range of colours, profiles, and styles — including flat-top, rounded-top, and decorative slatted designs. Suitable for contemporary gardens and period properties alike. ### Close-Board Timber Fencing The most popular fencing type in South London. Close-board fencing is constructed from overlapping vertical feather-edge boards fixed to horizontal arris rails and supported by sturdy timber or concrete posts. It is strong, secure, and provides excellent privacy — making it ideal for rear garden boundaries. Pressure-treated for long-lasting resistance to rot and insect damage. ### Timber Panel Fencing A cost-effective solution for garden enclosures across South London. Panel fencing uses pre-made panels — available in lap, hit-and-miss, and palisade styles — fixed between timber or concrete posts. Suitable for front gardens, internal garden divisions, and rear boundaries in residential properties across Mitcham, Croydon, and Sutton. ### Feather-Edge Fencing Similar to close-board construction but with a particularly neat, bespoke appearance as the boards are individually fixed to create a uniform surface. Popular with South London homeowners who want a fence that is both highly private and visually attractive. ### Trellis Fencing & Panels Used as a garden divider, to top existing boundary fencing, or as a decorative feature for climbing plants. Available in timber and composite, in a range of lattice and square-grid patterns. ### Palisade Fencing Suitable for front gardens and properties requiring a more open boundary that defines the space while allowing light and visibility. Available in timber and metal, in a range of pointed and rounded picket designs. ### Metal & Wrought Iron Fencing Traditional railings and metal fencing for front gardens and period properties — particularly appropriate for Victorian and Edwardian homes common in Clapham, Wimbledon, and Mitcham. Adds a classic, elegant appearance to any front boundary. --- ## Fence Repair Services In addition to new installations, Green Garden Construct LTD carries out a full range of fence repair services across South London: - **Storm damage repair** — replacing broken panels, blown-out posts, and damaged arris rails following high winds - **Post replacement** — replacing rotted or leaning timber posts with new pressure-treated timber or concrete posts - **Panel replacement** — supplying and fitting replacement panels to match existing fencing - **Board replacement** — replacing individual rotted or damaged feather-edge or close-board timbers - **Re-railing** — replacing damaged or deteriorating horizontal arris rails - **Fence re-setting** — re-setting and securing leaning or unstable fence posts with fresh concrete - **Fence staining and treatment** — applying protective preservative stain to extend the life of existing timber fencing --- ## The Installation Process 1. **Free site survey and consultation** — the team visits the property anywhere in South London, assesses the existing boundaries, discusses requirements, and recommends the most suitable fencing type and style 2. **Written quotation** — fully itemised with no hidden costs 3. **Post installation** — concrete or timber posts installed at correct spacing and depth, set in concrete for maximum stability 4. **Panel or board installation** — panels or feather-edge boards fitted to posts with appropriate fixings 5. **Finishing and treatment** — capping rails, gravel boards, and any timber treatment applied as required 6. **Site clean-up** — all waste materials removed; property left clean and tidy 7. **Handover** — completion walkthrough with the client and maintenance guidance provided --- ## Planning Permission for Fences in South London In most cases, garden fencing in South London does not require planning permission provided: - The fence is no more than 1 metre high where it adjoins a highway (road or footpath) - The fence is no more than 2 metres high elsewhere on the property boundary - The property is not in a Conservation Area or Article 4 Direction area, where additional restrictions may apply - The property is not a listed building Green Garden Construct LTD advises all clients on their specific planning position as part of the free site survey. --- ## Why Invest in Quality Fencing in South London? - **Privacy** — a solid, well-built fence creates a private outdoor space for families, away from overlooking neighbours and passing pedestrians — particularly important in South London's densely developed residential areas - **Security** — a robust fence is one of the most effective deterrents against opportunistic intruders; essential for properties in Croydon, Mitcham, and across South London - **Child and pet safety** — a secure garden boundary keeps children and pets safely contained within the garden - **Noise reduction** — solid timber and composite fencing provides a degree of sound insulation from road traffic and neighbourhood noise - **Garden definition** — fencing clearly defines the garden space, creating a structured and attractive outdoor environment - **Increased property value** — well-maintained boundaries with quality fencing enhance a property's overall appearance and are viewed positively by prospective buyers across South London --- ## Fence Maintenance Tips ### Timber fencing - Apply a protective wood preservative, stain, or paint every two to three years to maintain water resistance and prevent rot - Inspect posts annually for signs of rot at ground level — particularly vulnerable in South London's wet winters - Check arris rails for sagging or splitting and replace promptly to prevent panel failure - Clear vegetation growing against the fence to allow air circulation and prevent moisture retention ### Composite fencing - Wash panels annually with mild soapy water — no painting, staining, or treating required - Inspect fixing points annually for any signs of movement or loosening ### All fencing types - Check fence stability after high winds and storms — particularly important for panel fencing which can be susceptible to wind loading - Ensure gate hinges and latches are oiled and functioning correctly - Keep the fence line clear of soil build-up against boards and posts at ground level --- ## Areas Covered | Location | Postcodes | |----------|-----------| | Mitcham | CR4 | | Clapham | SW4, SW11 | | Wimbledon | SW19, SW20 | | Sutton | SM1, SM2, SM3 | | Croydon | CR0, CR2, CR7, CR9 | | Surrounding South London | All neighbouring postcodes | --- ## Frequently Asked Questions — Fence Installation & Repair **Q: How much does fence installation cost in South London?** A: Fencing costs depend on the type, height, total run length, and post type (timber or concrete).
