Fencing designed for Old Coulsdon homes
Old Coulsdon has a village feel, with period cottages and post-war family homes sitting alongside each other near the Downs. Plots are often generous but exposed, and the ground can be heavy after rain.
Fencing in Old Coulsdon has to cope with wind, wet ground and neighbouring boundaries that are rarely perfectly straight. We set posts in concrete, use gravel boards to keep timber off wet soil, and step or rake the run so it follows the ground properly instead of leaving gaps at the bottom.
How we work in Old Coulsdon
We are only minutes away, so access surveys, material drops and follow-up visits are straightforward and we can work around narrow lanes and on-street parking.
A typical Old Coulsdon fence run is completed in one to three days. We take down and remove the old fence, dig out the existing post bases, then set new posts in concrete at correct centres before hanging panels or building close-board on site. Concrete posts and gravel boards are worth the extra where the ground stays damp. Gates are hung on heavy-duty ironmongery and adjusted so they still close cleanly once the timber has settled. All waste leaves with us under our waste carrier licence.
Every Old Coulsdon project starts with a free, no-obligation site visit. We measure up, talk through materials and options, then send a written, itemised quote so you can see exactly what is included. We are insured, hold a waste carrier licence and every employee on site is enhanced DBS checked. Most of our work comes from word of mouth in and around Old Coulsdon, which is why we care as much about how we leave your home each evening as about the finished result.
Fencing FAQs for Old Coulsdon
How tall can my fence be?
Generally up to 2m at the rear and 1m next to a highway without planning permission. We check your Old Coulsdon boundary at the quote visit.
Which fence lasts longest?
Close-board with concrete posts and gravel boards. It costs a little more but stands up far better to wind and wet ground.
Can you repair storm damage?
Yes. We replace broken posts and panels or refit whole runs in Old Coulsdon, usually within a few days of the visit.
Who owns the boundary?
Your deeds or title plan will normally show it. We are happy to talk it through before any work starts.
