Fencing in Whitton
Closeboard, lap, panel and picket fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in Whitton is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Inter-war and post-war semis with squarer rear gardens, typically 10 metres deep. Side access is common, which makes wheelbarrow work easier. Most of my work in Whitton is around whitton 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.
Whitton is largely 1930s and post-war housing with broader streets and more uniform plots than its older neighbours. The high street is compact and practical. Most fences I fit in Whitton 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 Whitton
- 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 Whitton FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in Whitton?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. Whitton 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 Whitton?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm I usually have a string of fence jobs across Whitton 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 Whitton?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in Whitton 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 Whitton?
Yes. Whitton (TW2) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Whitton or in a neighbouring area like twickenham, that's still fine.
