Garden Fencing for post-war planned housing across Chells in Stevenage
Most of our Stevenage fences go in for repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals — neighbours who've seen the last job stand up to a few winters and decided their own boundary needed sorting. We've been working across SG1 / SG2 for years, and the pattern is consistent: shared-with-neighbour fence runs are the norm — quotes need to cover boundary checks first. The fix is to spec around it, not patch it later. Chells Way, High Street (Old Town) Stevenage station Six Hills Way boundary next to the Scheduled Monument. Galvanised surface-mount post shoes on cast concrete pads, no ground penetration below 100mm. Historic England pre-clearance obtained; fence set within four weeks of first enquiry. Six Hills Way plots border a Scheduled Ancient Monument (the Roman tumuli) which Historic England will refuse deep excavation for — we've used surface-mount post shoes with concrete pads twice.
