New build fencing across Islington — Islington

Hand-carried closeboard through the hallway, 1.8m with capping rail. Completed in a day with dust sheets down the whole route.

How we build new-build boundary fencing in Islington
6ft closeboard on concrete posts, 150mm gravel boards, mid-rail capped — a genuine 15-year replacement for the developer's 4-year panel. On Islington jobs we adjust for conservation-area consent plus tight rear-mews access makes bespoke gate and boundary work the norm.
Property mix locally: Georgian terraces around Barnsbury and Canonbury, Victorian streets in Highbury, and dense mansion blocks. Typical gardens: compact walled rear gardens with rear-mews access on parts of Barnsbury and De Beauvoir. Postcodes we regularly service: N1, N5, N7, N19, EC1.
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
