How we build landlord-grade fencing in St Albans
6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On St Albans jobs we adjust for extensive conservation areas mean fence heights and materials need to match the streetscape.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas in Marshalswick, and Tudor / Georgian properties near the cathedral. Typical gardens: mature gardens, often with established hedging that needs lifting before fencing goes in. Postcodes we regularly service: AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4.
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
