Metal Fencing in Camden (NW1)
We're a small, time-served metal fencing crew working out of London and Herts, and Camden 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 Malden Road and Chetwynd 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 metal fencing in Camden
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 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.
