New-Build Garden Fencing in Camden — Built for how the finish sits next to the neighbour's existing boundary
New-Build Garden Fencing in Camden is a specific brief for us — buyers on modern estates upgrading the developer's minimum-spec boundary after handover. The default local answer isn't a stock catalogue drop: it's 6ft closeboard on concrete posts, 150mm gravel boards, mid-rail capped — a genuine 15-year replacement for the developer's 4-year panel. On Camden sites we also spec around listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front, which is where a lot of new-build boundary fencing jobs quietly fail two years in. Recent work on Fortess Road and Camden Road. We orient jobs off Regent's Canal towpath. Regent's Canal-side rear boundary. Pressure-treated closeboard on stepped gravel boards to track the towpath fall. Standing through two winter high-water events.

How we build new-build boundary fencing in Camden
6ft closeboard on concrete posts, 150mm gravel boards, mid-rail capped — a genuine 15-year replacement for the developer's 4-year panel. On Camden jobs we adjust for listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Primrose Hill and Hampstead, plus dense terraces around Kentish Town and Gospel Oak. Typical gardens: small walled courtyards behind period houses; several conservation areas restrict visible materials. Postcodes we regularly service: NW1, NW3, NW5, N7, WC1.
Why this spec, for buyers on modern estates upgrading the developer's minimum-spec boundary after handover
- no more callouts every winter — the standard developer spec fails inside four years and we know exactly what fails
- we work around plot-boundary pegs and drainage runs that new-build gardens hide badly
- quotes broken down so you can see exactly where the money over the developer spec goes
Common failure modes on new-build boundary fencing
- •putting new closeboard on the existing developer posts — those are the part that failed first, not the panels
- •raising a shared boundary without agreeing with the neighbour, then discovering they've taken it down
