Bromley Elite Fencing: Fence Installation, Repairs & Replacement for Homes & Businesses
#1 Trusted Fencing Contractors in Bromley
A fence does more than mark a boundary. It affects privacy, security, and how long you go before dealing with repairs or replacements.
We design and install fencing built to handle the weather and wear that properties in Bromley typically face. Our work covers a range of styles, from closeboard and feather edge panels to gates and bollards, fitted to match what each property actually needs.
Whether you're replacing an old fence, securing a garden, or starting a new installation from scratch, we handle the planning, materials, and fitting so you don't have to piece it together yourself.

Garden & Residential Fencing Installation
We install a full range of garden and residential fencing across Bromley, from traditional timber panels to modern composite and slatted designs. The right choice depends on your priorities: privacy, durability, budget, or appearance.
Garden Fencing & Fence Panels
We supply and fit standard garden fence panels in a range of sizes, typically 6ft wide and available in heights from 3ft to 6ft. These panels suit most residential boundaries and offer a straightforward, cost-effective fencing solution.
We set every post in concrete at a minimum depth of 2 feet to ensure stability. This approach reduces the risk of leaning or movement over time, particularly in exposed or windy spots.
We work with pressure-treated timber as standard, which resists rot and insect damage. You can choose from lap panels, waney edge panels, or overlap designs depending on your garden's style and your budget.
Composite Fencing
Composite fencing combines recycled wood fibres and plastic, giving you a low-maintenance alternative to timber. We install composite panels for clients who want a long-lasting fence without regular staining or treatment.
Unlike wood, composite material doesn't warp, splinter, or fade significantly over time. This makes it a practical choice if you prefer to avoid annual upkeep.
We offer composite fencing in several colours and finishes, including woodgrain textures that replicate natural timber. While the upfront cost is higher than standard timber panels, the reduced maintenance often balances this out over the fence's lifespan.
Closeboard & Feather Edge Fencing
Closeboard fencing, also known as feather edge fencing, uses overlapping vertical boards fixed to horizontal rails. We build this type of fence for clients who need a sturdy, secure boundary with no visible gaps.
The overlapping design adds strength against wind and weather. It's a common choice for properties bordering alleyways, shared driveways, or areas where security is a priority.
We fit feather edge boards onto treated timber posts and rails, finishing with a capping rail along the top to protect end grain from water damage. This construction method extends the fence's working life and keeps the boards aligned over time.
Slatted Fencing
Slatted fencing features horizontal or vertical timber slats with small, even gaps between each board. We install this style for gardens where a contemporary look matters as much as function.
The gaps allow some airflow and light through while still marking a clear boundary. This design suits modern garden layouts and works well alongside composite decking or render-finished walls.
We can adjust slat spacing and width to match your preferences, whether you want a tighter gap for more privacy or a wider one for a lighter, more open feel. Slatted fencing is available in both timber and composite materials.
Privacy & Screening Fencing
We build privacy fencing for gardens that face overlooking windows, busy roads, or neighbouring properties. These fences typically stand taller, often at the maximum permitted height of 2 metres, and use solid board construction with no gaps.
Screening panels work well alongside existing closeboard fencing to add height without replacing the whole structure. We also fit trellis toppers, which extend the boundary line while staying within planning guidelines in most residential settings.
For gardens needing year-round screening, we recommend solid timber or composite panels rather than lattice designs, since gaps in lattice reduce privacy. We'll talk through your specific site conditions before recommending a height and material.
Picket & Decorative Fencing
Picket fencing uses evenly spaced vertical boards, usually with pointed or rounded tops, set at a lower height than privacy fencing. We fit this style for front gardens and boundary lines where appearance takes priority over screening.
This type of fence suits period properties and traditional garden layouts. We offer picket fencing in both painted timber and low-maintenance composite materials.
Decorative fencing options also include trellis panels and ornamental post caps, which add a finished look to garden boundaries. These styles work best for low-level boundaries rather than full privacy screening, since the open design allows visibility through the fence line.
Commercial & Security Fencing Installation
We design and install fencing systems for commercial and industrial sites across Bromley, covering everything from perimeter security to site-specific access control. Our work typically falls into three categories: security fencing, palisade fencing, and mesh or chain link systems.
Security Fencing
We fit security fencing for retail units, warehouses, schools, and industrial yards where boundary control matters.
Before installation, we carry out a site survey to assess access points, ground conditions, and specific security requirements. This helps us recommend the right height, gauge, and locking mechanisms for each property.
Our security fencing options include:
- Welded mesh panels for high-visibility, anti-climb protection
- Anti-cut fencing for sites at higher risk of tampering
- Lockable gates and access points integrated into the fence line
- Reinforced posts set in concrete for added stability
We work with property managers and business owners to balance security needs with budget and planning requirements.
Palisade Fencing
Palisade fencing remains one of the most common choices for commercial and industrial boundaries. We install both steel and timber versions, with steel being the preferred option for sites needing a higher security rating.
The pointed pales deter climbing, and the vertical design offers good visibility along the perimeter, which matters for CCTV coverage and general site monitoring.
We supply palisade fencing in standard heights of 1.8m to 2.4m, though we can adjust this depending on local planning rules and the site's risk profile. Posts are set at regular intervals and concreted in for stability. We also fit matching palisade gates, either manual or motorised, to keep access points consistent with the rest of the boundary.
Mesh & Chain Link Fencing
Mesh and chain link fencing suit sites that need a cost-effective boundary without full security specification, such as storage yards, sports facilities, or temporary site enclosures.
We install galvanised chain link in various gauges, with options for PVC coating to extend lifespan in exposed locations. For higher-security applications, we fit welded mesh panels, which offer better resistance to cutting and climbing than standard chain link.
Fixing methods depend on the setting:
- Post and strain wire systems for standard chain link runs
- Panel and post systems for welded mesh sections
- Temporary ground-fix options for short-term site needs
We advise on the right combination of mesh type, height, and gate access for the site's intended use.
Fencing Installation, Repairs & Replacement
We cover every stage of fence ownership, from first installation through to repairs and full replacements. Our team works across Bromley and the surrounding areas, using fully insured, trained installers for every job.
Fence Installation
We install a range of fencing types, including closeboard, feather edge, kent lap panels, picket, and trellis. Each installation starts with an assessment of your garden's layout, soil type, and boundary requirements.
We sink support posts into at least two feet of concrete to keep fences stable through wind and weather. This step matters more than most homeowners realise, as shallow posts are a common cause of early fence failure.
Our installers measure boundaries carefully before work begins, so there's no guesswork once panels go up. We also talk through material options with you, since factors like budget, privacy needs, and local style all affect the right choice.
Most residential installations are completed within a day or two, depending on the length and type of fence.
Fence Repairs
Fences take a beating from wind, rain, and general wear over time. We repair broken panels, loose posts, rotten sections, and storm damage without requiring a full rebuild in most cases.
Common repair jobs we handle include:
- Replacing individual damaged panels
- Re-setting leaning or snapped posts
- Fixing gaps caused by rot or impact
- Repairing gate hinges and latches
We assess each fence on-site before quoting, since repair needs vary widely between a single damaged panel and widespread rot across a boundary line. In many cases, a targeted repair extends the life of an existing fence by several years, which saves you the cost of a full replacement.
We aim to respond quickly, particularly after storms when damaged fencing can become a safety or security issue.
Fence Replacement
When a fence has aged beyond repair or no longer suits your garden, we offer full replacement services. This includes removing old fencing, disposing of materials responsibly, and installing new panels in your chosen style.
Signs that point to replacement rather than repair include:
Signal
What it usually means
Multiple rotten posts
Structural failure across the fence line
Widespread panel damage
Repairs would cost close to a new fence
Outdated style or height
Doesn't meet current needs or preferences
We handle the full process, from clearing the old boundary to fitting new posts and panels. Our goal is to leave you with a fence that's properly secured and built to last, not just a quick patch-up job.

Fencing Costs & Quotes
Fencing prices in Bromley vary depending on material, fence height, boundary length, and site access. We price per metre run, with posts, gravel boards, and waste removal added where needed, so you always know what you're paying for before work begins.
New Fence Installation Costs
The cost of a new fence depends mainly on the material you choose and the length of boundary involved.
Timber panel fencing is generally the most affordable option, while closeboard and feather-edge designs sit in the mid-range due to the extra labour and materials required. Composite and metal fencing tend to cost more upfront but require less maintenance over time.
Other factors that affect price include:
- Fence height — taller fences use more materials and timber
- Ground conditions — sloped or uneven gardens may need extra groundwork
- Access — tight side passages or restricted parking can add to labour time
- Concrete posts vs timber posts — concrete lasts longer but costs more initially
We provide a clear breakdown of these costs in every quote, so there are no hidden extras once the job starts.
Fence Repair & Replacement Costs
Repair costs are usually lower than full replacement, provided the damage is limited to a small section of the fence.
Replacing a few broken panels or a leaning post is often a quick, low-cost job. However, if the fence line shows widespread rot, insect damage, or multiple snapped posts, full replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run than repeated patch repairs.
We assess each fence on-site before recommending repair or replacement, based on:
- The age and condition of existing posts and panels
- Whether the damage is isolated or spread across the boundary
- The type of fencing material originally used
This helps you avoid paying for short-term fixes on a fence that needs full renewal.
Free Fencing Quotes
We offer free, no-obligation quotes for every fencing project in Bromley, whether it's a new installation or a repair.
Our team visits your property to measure the boundary, check ground conditions, and discuss your material preferences before providing a fixed price. This means the price you're given reflects the actual site conditions, not a rough estimate based on guesswork.
Quotes are usually provided within a few days of the initial visit. There's no pressure to proceed, and you're welcome to compare our quote against others before making a decision.
Our Process: From Quote to Completed Fence
Every project with us follows a straightforward process, from the first call to the final clean-up. Here's what you can expect at each stage.
Step 1: Site Visit & Measurements
We arrange a site visit at a time that suits you. During this visit, we measure your boundary line and check the ground conditions, including soil type and slope.
We also look at access points for materials and equipment. This helps us identify any potential issues before work begins, such as underground pipes, tree roots, or uneven terrain.
If you have specific requirements, such as a certain fence height for privacy or security, we note these during the visit. We take photos and measurements to use when preparing your quote.
This step usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the garden or property boundary.
Step 2: Fencing Options & Quote
Based on the site visit, we present fencing options suited to your property and budget. Common choices include:
- Closeboard fencing – durable and suited to privacy
- Panel fencing – a cost-effective option for standard gardens
- Picket fencing – a lower-height option for front gardens
- Trellis toppers – added height without full enclosure
We provide a written quote that breaks down material costs, labour, and an estimated timeline. There are no hidden charges once the quote is agreed.
You can ask us questions about materials, finishes, or maintenance before confirming your order. Once you approve the quote, we schedule a start date based on availability and weather conditions.
Step 3: Installation & Clean-Up
On the day of installation, our team arrives with all materials and equipment needed to complete the job. Most standard garden fences are completed within one to two days, depending on length and ground conditions.
We dig post holes to the correct depth for stability, set posts in concrete, and fit panels or boards according to the agreed design. We check each section for level and alignment as we go.
Once the fence is complete, we remove all offcuts, packaging, and leftover materials from the site. We also sweep the work area and check that gates and latches function correctly before we leave.
We walk you through the finished fence and answer any final questions you have.
