Typical spec

How we build metal fencing in Islington

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 Islington jobs we adjust for conservation-area consent plus tight rear-mews access makes bespoke gate and boundary work the norm.

Property mix locally: Georgian terraces around Barnsbury and Canonbury, Victorian streets in Highbury, and dense mansion blocks. Typical gardens: compact walled rear gardens with rear-mews access on parts of Barnsbury and De Beauvoir. Postcodes we regularly service: N1, N5, N7, N19, EC1.

Why metal fencing works here

  • structurally the toughest boundary material we install
  • hot-dip galvanising plus powder coat gives a 25-year plus service life
  • doesn't warp, twist or lose fixings the way seasoned timber does

Common Islington briefs

  • front boundaries where visibility for parking and CCTV matters more than privacy
  • period properties needing traditional estate railings or wrought-iron style detailing
