Finchley gardens have a particular fencing problem and it is the wind. The long back gardens on the streets running off Ballards Lane, Regents Park Road and the High Road catch north-westerlies down open runs and it is why so many panels here fail at the post rather than the panel. A fence blows over, the panel looks fine and the owner replaces the panel, then the same thing happens the following winter, because the actual failure was a rotted post at ground level.
That is the single most useful thing to know before you get a quote. If your fence has come down, the honest question is whether the posts are sound. We check every post before quoting and we will tell you plainly if you need three new posts and two panels rather than a whole new fence. It is a smaller job and a smaller invoice and it is the reason a lot of our Finchley work comes from neighbours of previous customers.

Fencing work we do in Finchley
How a Finchley fencing job runs
A note on boundaries, because it causes more disputes in Finchley than anywhere else we work. You are normally responsible for the boundary marked with a T on your side on the title plan, but plenty of Finchley properties have no clear marking at all. If your fence sits on a shared boundary, we always recommend a quick word with the neighbour before we start, it costs nothing and it avoids the job stopping halfway through.
Timber choice matters here too. Pressure-treated softwood is the sensible default for most Finchley gardens and comes with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee from the mill. Where a fence backs onto a damp, shaded boundary, common on the north-facing gardens off Long Lane and Squires Lane, concrete posts and gravel boards are worth the extra, because they keep the timber clear of permanently wet soil and roughly double the life of the fence.
We also handle storm call-outs. If a fence has come down and the garden is not secure, a dog that can get out, or an open boundary onto an alleyway, we can usually get out the same day to make it safe and quote the permanent repair afterwards.
