Fencing Installers in Beckenham
Fencing in Beckenham — London Borough of Bromley
Beckenham gardens are usually well established and enclosed on all sides, so a replacement fence has to be installed without wrecking the borders it runs along.
What matters for fencing in Beckenham
Working alongside planting
We cut back and protect planting where we can rather than clearing the border, and dig post holes by hand next to established roots.
Front boundaries
On front gardens, permitted development normally caps a fence adjoining a vehicle highway at one metre. Picket or post-and-rail at that height keeps the frontage open and suits the period houses here.
Gates
Side gates take more abuse than any panel. We hang them on a properly set post with sized hinges and a drop bolt rather than relying on the fence post next to it.

Fencing in Beckenham — your questions
How high can a front garden fence be in Beckenham?
Where the boundary adjoins a road used by vehicles, permitted development generally limits fences, walls and gates to one metre. Anything higher usually needs planning permission from Bromley Council, and conservation area rules can be tighter again.
