New-Build Garden Fencing, Borehamwood: match-what-you-have spec for mix of post-war terraces
New-Build Garden Fencing in Borehamwood is a specific brief for us — buyers on modern estates upgrading the developer's minimum-spec boundary after handover.

On Borehamwood sites we also spec around limited rear access on the older estates means materials usually have to come through the house, which is where a lot of new-build boundary fencing jobs quietly fail two years in. Recent work on Whitehouse Avenue and Manor Way. We orient jobs off Sky Studios entrance. Cardinal Avenue cul-de-sac, four plots. Matched 1.8m closeboard run installed in sequence over five days. Single materials drop, shared waste skip — saved each household ~12% versus solo quotes.
