Fencing in Littlebourne.

Littlebourne is the Nailbourne-valley village west of Wingham towards Canterbury. Period cottages, extensive garden boundaries, mixed stock from Victorian villas to newer developments off the A257.

What the work looks like: Longer rear-garden runs on the older cottage stock (30-60m rear boundaries are common). Panel fencing on the newer estates. Rear boundaries backing onto the Nailbourne need proper gravel-board drainage on the low side.

Typical spec: Rear-garden closeboard at £75-85/m. Panel fencing on newer estates at £60-70/m. Gravel-board depth 300mm on any run near the Nailbourne to keep the closeboard clear of seasonal wet.
