Panel Fencing for Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir in Hackney
Every panel fencing job we run in Hackney starts from what fails locally: many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter. Our default spec — 6ft × 6ft overlap or waney-edge panels, concrete posts and 150mm gravel boards — is built around that, not around a generic price sheet. Recent work on Broadway Market and Mare Street. We orient jobs off London Fields. Broadway Market cafe frontage. Bespoke planter fence with hardwood gate for pavement licence. Signed off with the licensing officer on first visit.
