Landlord Fencing, Borehamwood: portfolio-friendly spec for mix of post-war terraces
If you're weighing landlord-grade fencing for a property in Borehamwood, the first thing that matters is tenancy turnaround windows and inventory sign-off — not the material choice. Once that's settled, pressure-treated closeboard on concrete posts is where most of our landlord-grade fencing work in WD6 lands, with 6ft overlap panels with concrete posts and gravel boards as a considered alternative. Recent work on Theobald Street and Allum Lane. We orient jobs off Elstree & Borehamwood station. Shenley Road frontage with driveway gate. Hardwood double gates with manual drop bolt, picket flanking panels. Replaced rotten softwood originals; sized to existing brick piers.

How we build landlord-grade fencing in Borehamwood
6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On Borehamwood jobs we adjust for limited rear access on the older estates means materials usually have to come through the house.
Property mix locally: mix of post-war terraces, 1960s low-rise estates and new-build apartments near the studios. Typical gardens: small to mid-size rear plots, often south-facing on the Elstree side. Postcodes we regularly service: WD6.
we bill via one purchase order across a portfolio, provide before/after photos for the inventory clerk, and can be on and off site inside a tenancy void.
Common failure modes on landlord-grade fencing
- •cheapest lap panels racking in wind because posts were shallow — we always concrete to 600mm minimum on landlord work
- •using bare softwood posts on ground contact — three winters and they're gone
