An overlooked seating area or exposed garden edge can make an outdoor space feel less comfortable to use. Privacy fencing focuses on where screening would help and how it will sit within the garden.

What the service covers
Privacy fencing should address a particular view, not simply add more enclosure everywhere. We discuss where you feel overlooked, which part of the garden you want to use and how the proposed screen will affect the space around it. That gives the design a practical starting point.
A fence that screens a seating area may have different requirements from a boundary beside a path. Daylight, the outlook from the house and the relationship to planting all matter. We help you consider the balance so the garden remains comfortable to use as well as more sheltered from view.
How it works
Take photographs from the place where you want privacy, including the direction of the overlooking view. Add a wider photograph showing the boundary and house. A simple description such as wanting to sit outside without looking directly into the neighbouring garden is more useful than choosing a fence style without context.
Tell us about the existing screen, nearby windows and any plants you want to keep. London gardens can have close neighbouring buildings and limited width, so a view of the whole space matters. Include the access route and identify any gate or passage that must remain usable.
On assessment, we look at the direction of views, ground levels and the position of the proposed screen. We discuss how much enclosure you want and whether screening one part of the garden would answer the problem more effectively than changing every boundary.
Planning controls can affect a fence’s height and position, particularly beside roads or at restricted properties; check with your local council. Once the arrangement is clear, we agree the job quotation and plan the work. We manage the fencing from start to finish, keeping the agreed privacy objective in view.
Where we work
For privacy fencing, see our area information for Edgware, Harrow and Barnet. Enquiries elsewhere in London can be checked against our service areas. Tell us where the overlooking problem occurs within your garden.
✦ BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your questions answered
Can you help screen just a seating area?+
Yes. Show us the seating area and explain the view you want to screen. We assess that specific part of the garden and how a fence would sit around it, rather than assume every boundary needs changing.
Will every overlooking view disappear?+
The direction and height of nearby views make a difference. We consider the main overlooking problem and discuss what the proposed screen can realistically achieve, including any views from higher windows or different parts of the garden.
Do I need a solid-looking fence?+
The arrangement should follow the privacy you want and the appearance you prefer. A more enclosed design and an open slatted design create different effects, so we discuss both the view through the fence and how it feels from inside.
What information helps with an estimate?+
Photograph the place you want to screen, the view towards it and the existing boundary. Include access and your postcode. If privacy matters most from one chair, door or section of lawn, explain that in the enquiry.
