Metal Fencing in Barnet (EN5)
We're a small, time-served metal fencing crew working out of London and Herts, and Barnet is a regular week for us. Most briefs here come down to commercial yards and forecourts where fork-lift damage is a real risk — and honestly, whether metal fencing is the right answer at all before we quote. Recent work on Salisbury Road and Gladsmuir Road. We orient jobs off The Spires. Hadley Green frontage replacement. Painted softwood picket on oak posts to match conservation guidance. Passed informal council eye-check; matched four neighbouring plots.

How we build metal fencing in Barnet
Galvanised steel, powder-coated bar-and-rail or estate railings. Standard build: 1.8m bow-top or estate railings, 40mm SHS posts, concrete-set at 750mm. On Barnet jobs we adjust for shared-boundary disputes are common on the older terraced streets, so neat post lines and clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces, post-war semis and a band of larger Edwardian villas around Hadley Green. Typical gardens: narrow rear gardens with mature trees and London clay underfoot. Postcodes we regularly service: EN5, N20.
