Fencing in Hanwell

From the terraces around Hanwell Broadway to the quieter streets near Boston Manor and the Brent River Park, Hanwell gardens are often long, narrow and gently sloping. We build fences that follow the ground rather than fight it, and with our base only a short drive away we can usually survey quickly.

Fencing across Hanwell

Hanwell has a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis near the Broadway, with a good deal of 1930s housing in the roads further out. The Grand Union Canal and its flight of locks, the railway and the open parkland around the area mean many gardens back onto something other than another garden.

That changes what a fence has to do. A boundary beside a towpath or railway needs to be secure and well fixed, a garden on sloping ground needs a fence that follows the land, and a shared fence between two houses needs to be agreed and priced fairly. We work out which applies on the survey, and we’re only a few minutes from our West Ealing base.

What we see most in Hanwell

Long, narrow and gently sloping gardens, and boundaries beside the canal and railway, shape most of our work in Hanwell.

Closeboard fencing

For rear boundaries on terraces and 1930s semis, often replacing panels that have blown or rotted at the base.

Hanwell's terraces and 1930s semis often have rear boundaries where old panels have blown or rotted at the base. Closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards keeps the timber off the soil.

Higher, more secure boundaries

On gardens beside the canal, the railway or open land, where privacy and security matter more than appearance.

Beside the canal, the railway or open land, privacy and security matter more than appearance. We set posts deep and fix securely, and talk through who owns the boundary at the survey.

Matching gates

So side access is as solid as the fence on either side.

A side gate should be as solid as the fence on either side. We make gates to match your boards, height and finish.

Fences and gates that suit Hanwell homes

The fences and gates we fit most often on Hanwell's terraces and 1930s semis.

Closeboard timber fence with concrete posts

Closeboard fencing

For rear boundaries on terraces and semis.

Built on site board by board, so it fits your garden's levels and any board can be replaced later without disturbing the rest. A good fit for Hanwell's long, narrow gardens.

Fence replacement

For fences that have reached the end of their life.

We take down and remove the old fence, check the line, then fit the new boundary on concrete-set posts with gravel boards.

Timber panel fencing along a garden boundary

Panel fencing

A quicker, lower-cost option on level boundaries.

Fitted between posts set to depth, with panels cut to fit non-standard gaps where needed. A sensible choice on level boundaries.

Timber garden gate set into a fence

Garden gates

Built on their own posts so they don’t drop or bind.

Each gate gets its own concrete-set posts and hardware suited to its weight, so it does not drop or pull the fence out of line. Useful where side access sits beside a sloping garden.

Fence repairs

For blown panels and storm damage where the rest is sound.

We replace what has failed, such as a post, gravel board or panel, and leave the sound parts alone. Repaired sections carry our guarantee on the new materials and work.

Local considerations

Parts of Hanwell are within conservation areas and there are listed buildings in and around the older centre. Where a property is affected, front boundaries are the most likely to be restricted. We’ll flag it on the survey.

Boundaries beside a canal, railway or public land can raise questions about who owns what. If you’re unsure, check your title plan first.

Common questions in Hanwell

Answers to what Hanwell customers ask us most, including conservation areas and fencing beside the canal or railway.

Is Hanwell a conservation area?

Parts of it are. Whether yours is affected depends on the exact road, so we check on the survey; it mainly matters for front boundaries and listed buildings.

Can you fence a garden beside the canal or railway?

Yes. We set posts deep and fix securely, and we talk through on the survey who owns the boundary and whether anyone else needs to be told.

How long does a typical job take?

Most garden boundaries are completed in one to two days, depending on length and access.
