Why this Barnet page exists
Barnet sits within Barnet Council, part of London Borough of Barnet, with High Barnet (Northern line) as the anchor and A1000 Great North Road the main route in and out. M25 J23 (South Mimms) puts the decking crew on site fast, and our radius takes in new barnet, potters bar, finchley comfortably. The local commercial cluster around Barnet High Street sees us regularly for security and boundary work.

What we've learned working Barnet
Hadley Green Conservation Area constrains front-boundary heights and materials — painted picket or low brick-and-rail is the norm. Behind, the long Victorian terraces off Wood Street share boundaries with mature trees, so root mapping before post-setting saves a lot of grief. Chipping Barnet's medieval plot lines mean modern boundaries are rarely square — every job needs a fresh measure, no repeatable spec. Kings Road drops steeply toward the East Coast Main Line so retaining sleepers under fencing is the norm there, quoted as a combined line. Ownership of the Salisbury Road back-alley fence line is disputed on most deeds — we always send a boundary letter to the neighbour before starting.
