Fencing Contractors in West Wickham
Fencing in West Wickham — London Borough of Bromley
Plots in West Wickham tend to be wide and deep, so boundary fencing here is usually measured in tens of metres rather than a handful of panels. Over a long run, consistency of line and post spacing is what makes it look right.
What matters for fencing in West Wickham
Setting a straight line over distance
We string the whole run before digging and set posts to that line, rather than working panel to panel and drifting off by the far end.
Close-board on long boundaries
On longer runs, close-board is generally worth the extra: individual boards can be replaced, it copes better with wind, and it does not leave you replacing whole panels every few years.
Matching front and rear boundaries
Where the front and rear boundaries are both being done, using the same post type and finish ties the plot together. Fencing and a matching brick pier or low wall at the front is a common combination here.

Fencing in West Wickham — your questions
How long does a long boundary fence take to install?
As a working guide, removal, post setting and fitting typically progresses several metres a day per pair of hands, and posts need time to set before the panels or boards load them. We give you a day count with the quote based on the actual run length and ground conditions.
