Fencing in Raynes Park
Closeboard, lap, panel and picket fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in Raynes Park is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Edwardian terraces and inter-war semis with rear gardens around 12 to 15 metres deep. Most have side gates. Most of my work in Raynes Park is around cottenham park 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.
Raynes Park has a residential, community feel: a high street built around the station and surrounded by neat streets of Edwardian and inter-war housing. Most fences I fit in Raynes Park 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 Raynes Park FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in Raynes Park?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. Raynes Park is in the London Borough of Merton. Wimbledon Village and parts of the conservation area have stricter rules than the rest of the borough. I'll flag anything borderline before any work starts.
Do you replace fences after storm damage in Raynes Park?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm I usually have a string of fence jobs across Raynes Park 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 Raynes Park?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in Raynes Park 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 Raynes Park?
Yes. Raynes Park (SW20) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Raynes Park or in a neighbouring area like wimbledon, that's still fine.
