Fencing in New Malden
Closeboard, lap, panel and picket fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in New Malden is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Inter-war semis with rear gardens often 15 to 20 metres deep and 10 metres wide. Most have side access, which simplifies bulk material handling. Most of my work in New Malden is around new malden high street 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.
New Malden is solidly suburban, with broad streets, inter-war semis, and a strong family feel. Many gardens here are larger than the average for SW London and lend themselves to bigger lawns and proper entertaining patios. Most fences I fit in New Malden 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.

Fencing in New Malden FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in New Malden?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. New Malden is in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Most landscaping work here is permitted development, but the older parts near the river have conservation status, which can affect what materials are allowed. I'll flag anything borderline before any work starts.
Do you replace fences after storm damage in New Malden?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm I usually have a string of fence jobs across New Malden 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 New Malden?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in New Malden 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 New Malden?
Yes. New Malden (KT3) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of New Malden or in a neighbouring area like surbiton, that's still fine.
