New-Build Garden Fencing in Hackney — Built for how the finish sits next to the neighbour's existing boundary
Capital Fencing installs new-build boundary fencing across Hackney and out toward islington and haringey. What separates a new-build boundary fencing job from a standard boundary is the detail: replacing developer 4ft overlap panels with 6ft closeboard on concrete posts. That's the work, not the marketing. Recent work on Lower Clapton Road and Broadway Market. We orient jobs off Regent's Canal (Kingsland basin). London Fields rear boundary, shallow plot. 1.8m hit-and-miss panels with slotted concrete posts. Kept the garden bright while replacing a rotten solid boundary.

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

How we build new-build boundary fencing in Hackney
6ft closeboard on concrete posts, 150mm gravel boards, mid-rail capped — a genuine 15-year replacement for the developer's 4-year panel. On Hackney jobs we adjust for many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir, plus post-war estates around Homerton and London Fields. Typical gardens: small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes. Postcodes we regularly service: E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.
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

Do I need permission to raise a new-build boundary?
Practically: replacing developer 4ft overlap panels with 6ft closeboard on concrete posts. That's the Hackney version of this job, not a generic one. The honest trade-off is putting new closeboard on the existing developer posts — those are the part that failed first, not the panels — which is exactly what our default spec designs out.
