Composite Fencing for Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Primrose Hill and Hampstead in Camden
Every composite fencing job we run in Camden starts from what fails locally: listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front. Our default spec — 6ft × 6ft panels, 2.4m aluminium posts on 700mm concrete bases — is built around that, not around a generic price sheet. Recent work on Prince of Wales Road and Camden Road. We orient jobs off Camden Lock. Regent's Canal-side rear boundary. Pressure-treated closeboard on stepped gravel boards to track the towpath fall. Standing through two winter high-water events.

How we build composite fencing in Camden
Wood-polymer composite boards on aluminium or steel posts. Standard build: 6ft × 6ft panels, 2.4m aluminium posts on 700mm concrete bases. 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.

- aluminium post system won't rot at ground level, which is where 90% of timber fences fail
Composite Fencing FAQs — Camden
Is composite fencing worth the extra cost?
Across Camden (NW1), the honest answer depends on georgian and victorian townhouses in primrose hill and hampstead and small walled courtyards behind period houses; several conservation areas restrict visible materials.

How is composite fencing recycled at end of life?

How long does composite fencing last compared to timber?
Camden coverage and M1 J1 (10 min) / A406 (15 min) access means we can survey most NW1 addresses inside a week. We'll walk you through both no annual staining or oiling and up-front cost is roughly double a lap-panel fence on the site visit before you commit.
Do composite panels handle high wind loads?
We've installed composite fencing across Camden — from Camden High Street through to the quieter streets toward islington. Practically, that means colour-through boards don't fade to grey the way pressure-treated timber does — and we're upfront that boards can dent under a football or garden strimmer edge.
Can composite panels drop into existing concrete posts?
