Fencing in Lewisham
Fencing in Lewisham — London Borough of Lewisham
Fencing in Lewisham is mostly terraced-garden work: short runs between neighbours, replacing panels that have blown out, and dividing gardens that were originally separated by low walls or hedges.
What matters for fencing in Lewisham
Short runs, tight access
On a terrace we carry posts, panels and concrete through the house or a narrow alley. We size the materials to the access rather than turning up with six-foot panels that will not go round the corner.
Fencing on top of an existing wall
Many of these gardens have a low stock brick wall on the boundary. Fixing posts to a sound wall with proper bolt-down or bolted post supports keeps the wall and gains you the height.
Shared boundaries in flat conversions
Where a house is split into flats, the boundary responsibility is often unclear. We will fit what you instruct on your side of the line, but it is worth confirming ownership with your freeholder first.

Fencing in Lewisham — your questions
Can a fence be fixed on top of a garden wall?
Yes, if the wall is structurally sound. We use bolt-down post supports or set posts against the wall face, and keep the combined height in mind — permitted development normally limits a wall and fence together to two metres, or one metre next to a vehicle highway.
