Landlord Fencing, Finchley: portfolio-friendly spec for Edwardian terraces in Church End
Landlord Fencing in Finchley is a specific brief for us — buy-to-let owners and letting agents needing durable boundaries between tenancies. The default local answer isn't a stock catalogue drop: it's 6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On Finchley sites we also spec around tree-root activity in clay soil regularly lifts old fence runs — full re-set is the typical brief, which is where a lot of landlord-grade fencing jobs quietly fail two years in. Recent work on East End Road and Fallow Court Avenue. We orient jobs off North Finchley bus garage. Nether Street rear boundary over culverted watercourse. 900mm deep concrete post bases with drainage voids, 1.8m closeboard with 200mm gravel boards. Third contractor to attempt the run; first to survive a full winter without heave.
