Fencing designed for Purley homes

Purley mixes Edwardian and inter-war housing with newer developments, and many gardens step down or up away from the house. Sloping ground and mature trees are the two things we plan around most often here.

Fencing in Purley 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 Purley

We plan access carefully in Purley because driveways are often shared or tight, and we agree skip and delivery arrangements with you before the first day on site.

A typical Purley 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 Purley 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 Purley, which is why we care as much about how we leave your home each evening as about the finished result.

Fencing FAQs for Purley

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 Purley 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 Purley, 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.
