Highly recommended! Alfie and his friend changed our fences and did a fantastic job. They were efficient, quick, hardworking and the price was very reasonable. Really pleased with the result. Thank you again.

Fencing in Barnes
Closeboard panels, featheredge, Venetian slatted and composite fencing fitted with concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Fencing in Barnes is mostly about getting the boundary right and using posts and gravel boards that will outlast the boards on top. Lots of conservation area constraints in central Barnes, which can affect what materials are appropriate. Gardens are typically generous for inner London, often 12 to 18 metres deep. Most of our work in Barnes is around barnes pond and common and the streets either side of it. We always check the deeds note on which boundaries belong to which house before quoting, and we always use concrete posts and concrete gravel boards.
Barnes has a village green, a duck pond, and a real sense of being a small town within London. Housing is largely Victorian and Edwardian, with some impressive larger houses on the conservation area streets. Most fences we fit in Barnes are 1.8m closeboard or featheredge with a 30cm trellis topper, on concrete posts and concrete gravel boards. Composite is the popular choice on newer builds and exposed boundaries where the owners want a zero-maintenance fence that will hold its look for fifteen plus years. We don't fit timber posts straight in the ground because they fail at the base in five to seven years.

What clients say
Alfie and his team did a great job replacing our back fence. It was mess due to neighbours trees and rubbish pushing up against the wood panels. They cleared everything up and ensured nothing putting pressure against the new fence. They worked fast, removed all rubbish, and well priced. The fence looks fantastic. We will be using his services again, highly recommend.
Alfie and his team were great, we used them to install a new fence, gate, and also box in our hot tub, he was flexible, communicative, and professional, everything that was promised was delivered to an excellent standard.
I had 15 fence panels, 11 concrete posts and 15 concrete bases fitted by Alfie and his team, very lovely men the quality of work was amazing all waste taken away after they had finished. Very professional I am very happy with the work.
I had 3 fence panels and 2 fence posts fitted. Very happy with the work done. Very professional and polite. Price was very competitive and they took away all the old panels etc and left no mess at all. Would definitely recommend.
We used Alfie and team for a few fence replacements and I would recommend them. Good communication and friendly. Attention to detail was good which adds extra trust.
Fencing in Barnes FAQs
How tall can I have a fence in Barnes?
Without planning permission, two metres on rear and side boundaries, one metre on a boundary fronting a road. Barnes 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. We'll flag anything borderline before any work starts.
Do you replace fences after storm damage in Barnes?
Yes, regularly. After a bad storm we usually have a string of fence jobs across Barnes and the surrounding areas. If you've lost panels or a whole run, get in touch and we'll come and quote.
How quickly can you start a fencing job in Barnes?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs we usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller fencing jobs in Barnes 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 Barnes?
Yes. Barnes (SW13) and the surrounding streets are all within our regular working area. If you're on the edge of Barnes or in a neighbouring area like mortlake, that's still fine.
