How we build landlord-grade fencing in Ware
6ft closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards, mid-rail capped, softwood side gate with padlock hasp. On Ware jobs we adjust for riverside plots can hit the water table within two spades — concrete-set posts and proper drainage are essential.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian properties in the centre, with newer suburban estates around Wengeo Lane. Typical gardens: long thin riverside plots — many drop down to the New River and need retaining work. Postcodes we regularly service: SG12.
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
Where landlord-grade fencing isn't the right answer
- — listed buildings and conservation frontages where painted picket or estate railings are the only compliant option
- — commercial forecourts needing bar-and-rail or palisade rather than domestic-grade timber
Typical landlord-grade fencing briefs in Ware
- → matched fencing across three or four adjacent rental plots owned by one landlord
- → cheapest defensible spec that will still stand up to the next storm and inventory
