Boundary Fence and Access Gate Installation — Whittier Road, Nottingham

Project Overview

British Builders attended a residential property on Whittier Road in Nottingham to complete external boundary improvement works, including a new timber fence run and matching access gate.

The works were required to improve security, privacy and the overall appearance of the outside area. The approved installation included approximately 4 metres of round-top timber picket fencing at 4 ft height, together with a matching 4 ft x 3 ft timber access gate.

Our team reviewed the existing boundary line, prepared the working area, installed the new fence posts, fencing and gate, then adjusted the gate for smooth operation and secure closing.

The completed fence and gate created a clearer, safer and more presentable boundary for the side and rear external area.
