How we build new-build boundary fencing in Hatfield
6ft closeboard on concrete posts, 150mm gravel boards, mid-rail capped — a genuine 15-year replacement for the developer's 4-year panel. On Hatfield jobs we adjust for uniform new-build estates mean visual consistency across runs is important to keep frontages looking right.
Property mix locally: post-war new-town estates, university accommodation, and Old Hatfield's period cottages. Typical gardens: compact rectangular plots, mostly level, often shared with neighbour-owned fences. Postcodes we regularly service: AL9, AL10.
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
Where new-build boundary fencing isn't the right answer
- — estates still inside a developer snagging period where the boundary is their liability to fix
- — estates with Section 106 covenants on boundary appearance — check the deeds first
Typical new-build boundary fencing briefs in Hatfield
- → replacing developer 4ft overlap panels with 6ft closeboard on concrete posts
- → raising a shared boundary height with neighbour agreement, keeping to permitted development
