Don't Replace It if We Can Save It
Slide to see how we save Blackheath homeowners thousands by structurally repairing fences instead of tearing down whole boundaries.
Why Do Fences Fail in Blackheath?
We don't just patch up the wood; we fix the structural root cause.
High Wind Exposure
The Problem: Gardens bordering the open heath get battered by gale-force autumn and winter storms, snapping standard timber posts like matchsticks.
Our Fix: We heavily utilize steel-reinforced concrete repair spurs, anchoring wind-snapped posts firmly back into the ground to withstand extreme gusts.
Ground-Line Rot
The Problem: Even thick timber rots where wood meets damp soil, creating a weak pivot point that fails dramatically during a storm.
Our Fix: If we fully replace posts, we use pressure-treated UC4 timber wrapped in Postsaver Bitumen Sleeves to prevent ground-line decay completely.
The London Clay Lean
The Problem: Heavy London Clay shifts and settles, pulling shallow posts out of alignment and causing the entire fence line to lean precariously.
Our Fix: We bypass the shallow clay movement by digging footings to a minimum of 600mm, locking the boundary solidly in place.
Why Front Boundaries Get Extra Scrutiny in Blackheath
Blackheath and Blackheath Park are both designated conservation areas, and Royal Greenwich's own planning register shows real, recent applications for front-fence and gate alterations that required formal permission rather than sailing through as permitted development. If your project also involves new hard surfacing, such as a wider drive or path, over 5 square metres, SuDS drainage rules apply on top of the fence consent question. We flag both before starting, not once the posts are already in the ground. We've seen the pattern often enough to know what trips people up: it's rarely the rear garden fence that causes problems, it's the front boundary facing the street, exactly where the recent Blackheath planning applications for gate and fence alterations were filed. If your project is a straightforward like-for-like repair using the same materials and height as what's already there, that's usually fine without consent. Where people run into trouble is upgrading at the same time, swapping an old post-and-rail for a taller closeboard screen, or adding a new gate design. We separate those two conversations on every Blackheath quote so you know which parts of the job are routine and which need a planning check first.
