Closeboard Fencing for Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre in Waltham Cross
Every closeboard fencing job we run in Waltham Cross starts from what fails locally: shared boundaries plus a high turnover of rental properties means landlord-friendly specs matter. Our default spec — 150×22mm feather-edge boards, 3-rail arris, 100×100mm pressure-treated posts — is built around that, not around a generic price sheet. Recent work on Park Lane and Theobalds Lane. We orient jobs off Lee Valley White Water Centre. Trinity Lane front picket and side gate. Painted picket with bespoke matching side gate. Matched original street line.
