Hackney Metal Fencing — Specified for E5, E8, E9, N1, N16
Hackney sits inside our core patch — E5 and the surrounding North London area. On metal fencing, that means we've already seen how victorian terraces across stoke newington and de beauvoir, plus post-war estates around homerton and london fields behaves over a service life, and we spec accordingly. Recent work on Amhurst Road and Mare Street. We orient jobs off Regent's Canal (Kingsland basin). London Fields rear boundary, shallow plot. 1.8m hit-and-miss panels with slotted concrete posts. Kept the garden bright while replacing a rotten solid boundary.

How we build metal fencing in Hackney
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 Hackney jobs we adjust for many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir, plus post-war estates around Homerton and London Fields. Typical gardens: small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes. Postcodes we regularly service: E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.
Common Hackney briefs
- → period properties needing traditional estate railings or wrought-iron style detailing
