Fencing in Ealing

Ealing is the heart of our patch, and its Victorian and Edwardian terraces, leafy avenues and conservation areas around Ealing Common and Haven Green all bring their own fencing questions. We build closeboard, slatted and picket fences here regularly, and a short drive from our base means surveys and quotes come back quickly.

Fencing across Ealing

Ealing, long known as the “Queen of the Suburbs”, is made up largely of Victorian and Edwardian houses on tree-lined roads, from large semi-detached villas to modest terraces, with interwar semis further out. Gardens vary a great deal: long, narrow rear gardens on the terraces, wider plots on the villa roads, and plenty of flat-conversion gardens shared between owners.

That variety is why we survey before we quote. A boundary between two long gardens, a side return you can barely walk down and a shared fence between flats are three different jobs, and the quote should reflect which one you have. West Ealing is our home base, so surveys here are rarely more than a few minutes away.

What we see most in Ealing

Ealing's tree-lined Victorian and Edwardian roads call for fences and gates that suit long gardens and tight side returns. These are the jobs we are asked for most.

Closeboard fencing

Our most requested build for long rear-garden boundaries, where board-by-board construction copes well with length and the occasional slope.

Built on site board by board, closeboard follows the line of long Ealing gardens and copes with the occasional slope. Every post goes into concrete and every run sits on a gravel board, so it stays straight for years.

More about closeboard fencing

Contemporary slatted screens

Popular on renovated houses, often alongside a new patio or garden room, and a good way to add privacy without shutting out light.

A slatted screen gives a renovated Ealing house privacy while still letting light through. We set the gap between slats to suit the garden, and can match it to a new patio, extension or garden room.

Gates and side-return fencing

Terraced houses often have tight access, so gate posts are set properly in concrete rather than hanging the gate off the fence.

Terraced roads in Ealing often have tight side access, so we hang gates on their own concrete-set posts rather than on the fence. They stay square, and the fence either side is not pulled out of line.

Fences and gates that suit Ealing homes

From long rear boundaries to period front gardens, these are the fences and gates we fit most often on Ealing homes.

Closeboard timber fence with concrete posts

Closeboard fencing

For long rear boundaries and shared garden fences.

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 natural fit for Ealing's long rear gardens.

Horizontal slatted timber fence

Contemporary slatted fencing

A lighter option for smaller or shaded gardens.

We agree the slat gap, height and finish with you, and advise on how cedar and softwood weather. Popular on renovated Ealing houses.

Timber garden gate set into a fence

Garden gates

Built on their own posts so they stay square.

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. Tight terrace side returns are a regular brief.

Metal railings and gates

For period front boundaries.

We can talk through style and finish at the survey. Where a conservation area or listed building applies, we flag it before you order. Common on Ealing's older front boundaries.

Fence repairs

When a section is sound enough to keep.

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

Ealing has a number of conservation areas, particularly around the town centre and the older Victorian roads, and some properties are listed. In these areas front boundaries in particular can be restricted, and the usual height allowances may not apply. Flats and maisonettes also don’t have the same permitted development rights as houses. We’ll flag anything likely to matter on the survey.

Many Ealing gardens share a boundary with a neighbour. If you’re not sure who is responsible for a fence, we can price a shared fence so the cost can be split by side.

Common questions in Ealing

Straight answers to what Ealing homeowners ask us most, from planning rules in conservation areas to working in a narrow side return.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Ealing?

For most back gardens, no, up to 2m. Front boundaries beside a road are limited to 1m, and conservation areas, listed buildings and flats can be different, so check before you order.

Can you work in a narrow side return?

Yes. Access is one of the first things we check on the survey, and we plan deliveries and waste removal around it.

How soon can you quote?

We can usually arrange a same-day site survey for straightforward jobs, with a written quote the next day.
