Local school and nursery fencing specialist covering Haringey & hackney
School & Nursery Fencing in Haringey is a specific brief for us — primary schools, nurseries and early-years settings needing safeguarding-compliant boundaries. The default local answer isn't a stock catalogue drop: it's 1.2m or 1.8m bow-top or 358 weld-mesh, hot-dip galvanised then RAL powder-coated posts, self-closing gates with anti-finger-trap hinges. On Haringey sites we also spec around ladder-street back-to-back gardens mean every fence run has two owners and three neighbours to keep informed, which is where a lot of school and nursery fencing jobs quietly fail two years in. Recent work on West Green Road and Falkland Road. We orient jobs off Bruce Castle Park. Wightman Road Ladder rear boundary. 1.8m closeboard with concrete posts across a shared party line, letter of agreement countersigned. Cleared a two-year stalemate between neighbours in one visit.
