Fencing contractors in West Wickham
West Wickham's open suburban gardens are exposed, and exposure is what kills fences early here. Most of our BR4 work is either storm repair or replacing a fence that was never specified for the wind it takes.
Building a fence that survives the wind
A solid 1.8m fence is effectively a sail. When it fails, the failure is almost always at the post — snapped at ground level, or levered loose in its concrete.
For exposed West Wickham boundaries we reduce bay spacing, use concrete posts or concrete spurs, and increase footing depth. Where the outlook allows it, a hit-and-miss or slatted design lets wind pass through while still screening the garden.
After storm damage
If panels have gone but the posts are straight and firm, replacement panels are a quick, cheap fix. If posts have snapped, patching one at a time usually costs more over two winters than replacing the run properly once.
