Landlord fencing across Hackney — Hackney
If you're weighing landlord-grade fencing for a property in Hackney, 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 E5 lands, with 6ft overlap panels with concrete posts and gravel boards as a considered alternative. Recent work on Mare Street and Broadway Market. We orient jobs off Victoria Park (west edge). Broadway Market cafe frontage. Bespoke planter fence with hardwood gate for pavement licence. Signed off with the licensing officer on first visit.

How we build landlord-grade fencing in Hackney
6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On Hackney jobs we adjust for many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir, plus post-war estates around Homerton and London Fields. Typical gardens: small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes. Postcodes we regularly service: E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.
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.
Why this spec, for buy-to-let owners and letting agents
- individual boards or single panels can be swapped without touching the whole run
- concrete posts and gravel boards keep the ground contact off the timber — that's where landlord fences usually fail
- one crew, one price sheet across multiple properties — inventory-friendly for portfolio owners
Typical landlord-grade fencing briefs in Hackney
- → cheapest defensible spec that will still stand up to the next storm and inventory
