How we build landlord-grade fencing in Hertford
6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On Hertford jobs we adjust for conservation areas and listed buildings around the castle restrict heights and finishes.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in the centre, with newer estates on the Bengeo and Sele Farm sides. Typical gardens: long, sloping plots dropping toward the River Lea — terracing and retaining work are often part of the job. Postcodes we regularly service: SG13, SG14.
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
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
