Local corner-plot fencing specialist covering Enfield & waltham cross
Corner-plot fencing in Enfield is one of our regular briefs — houses on a corner with two road-facing boundaries — visibility, privacy and highway sight-lines all in play. On interwar semis with medium-depth gardens that often back onto alleyways — access is the deciding factor, the failure mode we see most often is the one we design out first. Recent work on Carterhatch Lane and Lancaster Road. We orient jobs off Forty Hall. Baker Street rear boundary, dispute trigger. Closeboard with surveyed line agreed in writing. Defused a long-running argument with the neighbour about ownership.

Typical corner-plot fencing briefs in Enfield
- → matched picket to the front, closeboard to the side, single point of change at the corner post
- → brick pier and metal railing frontage kept lower on the splay so parked cars can pull out safely
Why this spec, for houses on a corner with two road-facing boundaries — visibility, privacy and highway sight-lines all in play
- highway visibility standards handled properly — no council-notice rebuild six months in
- clean junction between two boundary types instead of one tired fence run stopping at a wall
- corner post carries loads from two directions — we upsize as standard, not as an add-on
How we build corner-plot fencing in Enfield
front boundary 900mm painted picket or bar-and-rail on the visibility splay, side boundary 1.8m closeboard beyond the sight-line. On Enfield jobs we adjust for high winds funnelled down the lea valley regularly knock over weaker panel fences.
Property mix locally: interwar semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Georgian housing around Forty Hill. Typical gardens: medium-depth gardens that often back onto alleyways — access is the deciding factor. Postcodes we regularly service: EN1, EN2, EN3.
Where corner-plot fencing isn't the right answer
- — highways-adopted verge situations where any change needs a Section 184 licence — different job, different route
- — corner conservation frontages where only period railings are compliant
Corner Plot Fencing FAQs — Enfield
Can two different fence types meet at a corner?
On corner-plot fencing jobs in Enfield (EN1), our default answer is: front boundary 900mm painted picket or bar-and-rail on the visibility splay, side boundary 1.8m closeboard beyond the sight-line. The honest trade-off is carrying a full 1.8m closeboard all the way to the pavement corner — councils issue removal notices for exactly this — which is exactly what our default spec designs out.
Can I have full-height fencing on the side road?
Across Enfield we spec around high winds funnelled down the lea valley regularly knock over weaker panel fences, so on corner-plot fencing that usually means picket or bar-and-rail on the sight-line splay.
