Fencing in Petts Wood
Fencing in Petts Wood — London Borough of Bromley
Petts Wood gardens are typically enclosed by fencing rather than walls, and many of the runs we replace are original or near-original — timber posts rotted at the base with panels still sound.
What matters for fencing in Petts Wood
Reusing sound panels
If the panels are in good condition and only the posts have gone, we can replace posts and gravel boards and refit the existing panels. It is cheaper, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a full fence you do not need.
Height and neighbours
Rear garden fencing is normally allowed up to two metres under permitted development. Where you and a neighbour share the cost, we are happy to quote each side separately so the arrangement is clear.
Conservation area frontages
Front boundary changes in the conservation area can be controlled. Check with Bromley Council before removing an existing front boundary feature.

Fencing in Petts Wood — your questions
Can you just replace the posts and keep my fence panels?
Often yes. If the panels are sound, replacing rotten posts with concrete posts and gravel boards gives you most of the lifespan of a new fence at a lower cost. We will assess the panels honestly at the estimate.
