Semi-detached streets,
side access

Finchley has a wide mix of housing, from Victorian terraces on tree-lined streets in East Finchley to larger semi-detached homes along the N12 corridor in North Finchley and Woodside Park. Its period housing stock means many properties have older boundary fences in need of repair, reinforcement or full replacement.

We work across all of Finchley, including the conservation areas in East Finchley, where planning rules can limit what goes up at the front. From a single storm-damaged post to a full garden perimeter in closeboard or contemporary horizontal battens, we deliver a professional, tidy result every time.

Our fencing services

All fence types supplied and installed by our experienced team. Free written estimates for all Finchley properties.

Closeboard fencing

The fence we are asked for most in Finchley: feather-edge boards overlapped on arris rails, giving full privacy on rear gardens, side returns and long runs.

Closeboard fencing →

Picket fencing

A natural fit for Finchley's Victorian and Edwardian street character. We install classic pointed-top or decorative picket fencing in natural timber or painted white to complement your property's style.

Horizontal battens

Often chosen for renovated and extended houses in Finchley. Horizontal battens, with the gap set to suit, sit well against a rendered or brick extension.

Horizontal battens →

Overlap panel fencing

A practical, budget-friendly option for standard Finchley gardens. Installed with quality posts and gravel boards to prevent the premature failures common with lower-cost installations.

Experience with Finchley's Housing Stock

From tight Victorian back gardens in East Finchley to the wider plots of Woodside Park, we have built on every kind of Finchley plot, and the usual problems are the same few: narrow access, sloping ground and root-filled soil.

Conservation Area Knowledge

East Finchley includes protected conservation areas where permitted development rules differ. We can advise on what's likely to require planning permission and help you achieve the right look within any local restrictions.

Honest, Written Estimates

Every estimate is provided in writing, clearly itemised with no hidden extras. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Pressure-Treated Timber as Standard

All our fencing uses tanalised pressure-treated timber that resists rot, insects and weather for many years longer than untreated wood. We don't cut corners on materials because we want your fence to last.

The Bagi Landscaping Side of It

As part of Bagi Landscaping Ltd we take on the harder installs as well as the simple ones: sloping gardens, tree roots and awkward ground.

questions answered

How much does fence installation cost in Finchley?
Fence installation in Finchley typically costs £60–£120 per metre installed depending on fence type, height and site conditions. Closeboard is the most popular choice for rear gardens; overlap panels offer the most affordable entry point. All our estimates are free, written and without obligation — call 07405 974 128 or use our estimate form to get started.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Finchley?
In most parts of Finchley, fences up to 2 metres high do not need planning permission. However, East Finchley has several conservation areas, including around East End Road and Church End, where permitted development rights may be restricted. If your property is within a conservation area or near a listed building, we recommend checking with the London Borough of Barnet planning department before installing any new fencing.
How quickly can you install a fence in Finchley?
We typically visit Finchley properties within 3–5 working days for a free estimate, and installation is usually scheduled within 1–2 weeks of booking. For storm damage or emergency situations, call 07405 974 128 and we'll do our best to get to you quickly.
Which fence type is best for Finchley properties?
Closeboard (featherboard) fencing is our most popular choice in Finchley for rear gardens: it provides complete privacy, handles wind well and is built from long-lasting pressure-treated timber. For Victorian and Edwardian front gardens, picket fencing adds authentic period character. For contemporary renovations and extensions, horizontal batten fencing is increasingly popular. We'll recommend the right option for your specific garden and budget during the free estimate.
