Fencing in Hampton
Closeboard, lap, panel and picket fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in Hampton is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Inter-war semis are the main housing type, with squarer back gardens around 10 to 14 metres wide. Plenty of side access on most plots, which makes patio and decking jobs simpler than the Teddington terraces. Most of my work in Hampton is around hampton court palace and gardens and the streets either side of it. I always check the deeds note on which boundaries belong to which house before quoting, and I always use concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Hampton has a different feel from Teddington. More inter-war semis with broad bay windows and longer driveways, more bungalows, and a cluster of bigger detached houses near Hampton Court. The roads are wider and the gardens are squarer. Most fences I fit in Hampton are 1.8m closeboard with a 30cm trellis topper, on concrete posts and concrete gravel boards. Lap panels are also common, and they're a good budget option if the boundary is sheltered. I don't fit timber posts straight in the ground because they fail at the base in five to seven years.
What I do for every fencing job in Hampton
- Removing and disposing of the old fence
- Concrete spurred or full concrete posts, set in postcrete
- Concrete gravel boards along the bottom
- Featheredge or panel boards in your chosen style
- Cap rail along the top
- Tidying the line so it follows the boundary, not the old fence
- Disposal of all old materials and clearing the site

Fencing in Hampton FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in Hampton?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. Hampton sits in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Their planning portal is reasonably clear, and there are conservation areas in pockets of the borough (parts of Barnes, Strawberry Hill and central Teddington among others) where stricter rules apply. I'll flag anything borderline before any work starts.
Do you replace fences after storm damage in Hampton?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm I usually have a string of fence jobs across Hampton and the surrounding areas. If you've lost panels or a whole run, get in touch and I'll come and quote.
How quickly can you start a fencing job in Hampton?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in Hampton can sometimes fit in within a couple of weeks. The best step is a quick call to check current availability.
Do you cover all of Hampton?
Yes. Hampton (TW12) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Hampton or in a neighbouring area like hampton hill, that's still fine.
