We needed about 25 metres of fencing replacing after a storm took the old one out. Alfie quoted on the day, came back the following week and finished in two days. Concrete posts and gravel boards as standard, no shortcuts.

Fencing in Twickenham
Closeboard, lap, panel and picket fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in Twickenham is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Twickenham covers a lot of ground and a lot of housing styles. Rear gardens on the Edwardian terraces tend to be 18 to 25 metres deep. The newer estates around Whitton have shorter, squarer gardens. Most of my work in Twickenham is around marble hill 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.
Twickenham is mixed: Edwardian terraces around the station, big detached houses on the river, post-war semis up towards Whitton, and a few pockets of new-build closer to the stadium. Gardens here range from compact courtyard spaces to generous riverside gardens with mature trees. Most fences I fit in Twickenham 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 Twickenham clients say about my fencing
Fencing in Twickenham FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in Twickenham?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. Twickenham 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 Twickenham?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm I usually have a string of fence jobs across Twickenham 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 Twickenham?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in Twickenham 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 Twickenham?
Yes. Twickenham (TW1, TW2) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Twickenham or in a neighbouring area like st margarets, that's still fine.
