Landlord Fencing, Camden: portfolio-friendly spec for Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Primrose Hill and Hampstead
We approach landlord-grade fencing in Camden from the failure end backwards. Cheapest lap panels racking in wind because posts were shallow — we always concrete to 600mm minimum on landlord work — that's the single most common thing we're called back to fix, and it's the first thing our spec addresses. Recent work on Camden Road and Chetwynd Road. We orient jobs off Parliament Hill Fields. Chetwynd Road CA4 front picket. Painted softwood picket on oak posts, drawings submitted with the party-wall notice. Approved without amendment; matched the four-plot street line.

How we build landlord-grade fencing in Camden
6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On Camden jobs we adjust for listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Primrose Hill and Hampstead, plus dense terraces around Kentish Town and Gospel Oak. Typical gardens: small walled courtyards behind period houses; several conservation areas restrict visible materials. Postcodes we regularly service: NW1, NW3, NW5, N7, WC1.
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.
