Fencing for Surbiton gardens
Most Surbiton gardens are long, narrow Victorian and Edwardian plots with three boundaries, usually shared with neighbours on both sides. Most sit on London Clay, so we set posts in concrete and fit gravel boards as standard. That is what keeps a run straight through wet winters.
We put up closeboard, panel, slatted and hit and miss fencing, trellis toppers, gates and composite fencing. For narrow plots, horizontal slats make a garden feel wider. See the styles on our main garden fencing page, and ideas for long, narrow gardens.
Where a fence borders a road, the planning limit is 1 metre. At the back it is 2 metres. Our garden law page covers boundaries and who owns which fence.

Common questions
Do I need planning permission for a new fence in Surbiton?
Usually not, up to 2 metres at the back and 1 metre next to a road. Listed buildings and conservation areas can need consent. We check before we quote.
Which side owns the fence?
The title deeds decide. Check before work starts, especially on a shared boundary. See our garden law page.
Can you price from photos?
Often, yes. Send three photos, the rough length in metres and your postcode. Anything less clear gets a site visit.
How long does a closeboard fence last?
Twenty to thirty years when it is built on concrete posts with gravel boards. Panel fencing usually lasts ten to fifteen.
Fence down or leaning?
See our fence repair and storm damage page. For the rest of what we do in the town, see garden design and landscaping in Surbiton. We also cover fencing in Kingston and fencing in Worcester Park.
