Landlord Fencing: The Sector-Wide Brief

Landlord Fencing example, Capital Fencing

Landlord fencing is a portfolio problem dressed up as a boundary problem. The brief is rarely 'what does a nice fence look like' — it's 'what survives a tenancy, doesn't generate a callout at 9pm, and can be signed off by an inventory clerk without an argument.'

We run this work across our whole patch, not just one postcode, because the spec doesn't really change street to street — it changes property to property, and by how many units a landlord holds.

Landlord Fencing by town

Pick your town for local council rules, postcodes and property context.

What actually gets specified

Concrete posts and gravel boards are close to non-negotiable on rental boundaries — they're what stop the fence rotting from the ground up between tenancies, which is when nobody's watching it.

Commercial terms for portfolio owners

Where a landlord holds several properties we'll quote from one site visit covering multiple addresses, invoice against a single purchase order, and sequence the work so voids aren't held up waiting on us.

Documentation for the inventory clerk

We provide before-and-after photographs as standard on rental work — not because it's asked for every time, but because it removes an argument at check-out that has nothing to do with the fence.

Process, void to relet

Most landlord jobs are turned around inside a single working week from signed quote to finished boundary, timed to land inside the void between tenancies rather than around a sitting tenant.

Landlord Fencing — frequently asked

Do you invoice per property or per portfolio?

Either — most portfolio landlords prefer one purchase order covering several addresses, but we're happy to invoice per property if that's how your accounts are set up.

Can you turn a job around inside a tenancy void?

Usually, yes. Most landlord fencing jobs are a single week from signed quote to finished job, which is normally inside a standard void period.

Do you provide before-and-after photos for the inventory?

Yes, as standard on rental work — no extra charge.

Can you match fencing across several rental properties?

Yes — where one landlord owns adjoining or nearby plots we'll quote a matched spec and sequence the work in one visit where practical.

What's the cheapest defensible spec for a rental boundary?

Closeboard or overlap panel on concrete posts with gravel boards. It costs more up front than bare softwood posts but survives two or three tenancies rather than one.
