How we build closeboard fencing in Camden
Vertical feather-edge boards on arris rails with pressure-treated posts. Standard build: 150×22mm feather-edge boards, 3-rail arris, 100×100mm pressure-treated posts. On Camden jobs we adjust for listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Primrose Hill and Hampstead, plus dense terraces around Kentish Town and Gospel Oak. Typical gardens: small walled courtyards behind period houses; several conservation areas restrict visible materials. Postcodes we regularly service: NW1, NW3, NW5, N7, WC1.
Common Camden briefs
- → landlord-grade runs where a broken board must be swapped, not the whole panel
- → boundaries backing onto footpaths or alleys where security is the brief
