Looking for Wooden & Metal Gates in Stevenage? Local Contractor Serving Stevenage Borough
Most of our Stevenage gates go in for repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals — neighbours who've seen the last job stand up to a few winters and decided their own boundary needed sorting. We've been working across SG1 / SG2 for years, and the pattern is consistent: shared-with-neighbour fence runs are the norm — quotes need to cover boundary checks first. The fix is to spec around it, not patch it later. Broadhall Way, Bedwell Crescent Stevenage Old Town Six Hills Way boundary next to the Scheduled Monument. Galvanised surface-mount post shoes on cast concrete pads, no ground penetration below 100mm. Historic England pre-clearance obtained; fence set within four weeks of first enquiry. Stevenage's New Town estates use standard cul-de-sac layouts where every plot's rear boundary is a 3-way meeting point — boundary surveys are the single most common pre-job request here.

What we've learned working Stevenage
Stevenage's New Town estates use standard cul-de-sac layouts where every plot's rear boundary is a 3-way meeting point — boundary surveys are the single most common pre-job request here. The pedestrian underpass network means most estates have almost zero rear vehicle access — Bedwell and Chells jobs are barrow-and-hand-carry only. Six Hills Way plots border a Scheduled Ancient Monument (the Roman tumuli) which Historic England will refuse deep excavation for — we've used surface-mount post shoes with concrete pads twice. Old Town backs onto a Grade II conservation area with strict material lists.
