Fencing in Teddington
Closeboard, lap, panel and picket fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in Teddington is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Most Teddington gardens are long, narrow rear gardens behind Victorian terraces, often around five to seven metres wide and twenty plus metres deep. Side access is rare on the older terraces, which affects how patio and decking jobs are quoted. Most of my work in Teddington is around bushy 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.
Teddington is the home base for the business and where I live. It's a village within London: Victorian terraces along the High Street, larger Edwardian semis on the residential roads, and a handful of bigger houses backing onto Bushy Park. Most gardens are long and narrow, set behind kitchens that have been extended over the years. Most fences I fit in Teddington 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.

- 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

- Disposal of all old materials and clearing the site

Fencing in Teddington FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in Teddington?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. Teddington 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 Teddington?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm I usually have a string of fence jobs across Teddington 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 Teddington?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in Teddington 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 Teddington?
Yes. Teddington (TW11) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Teddington or in a neighbouring area like hampton wick, that's still fine.
