Fence Painting Services
We cover all timber fence types across the borough, from standard panels to close-board and decorative gates. Every treatment is specified for the fence’s condition, position, and exposure level.
Timber Fence Panels
Timber fence panels are the most common boundary treatment across the borough. Standard panels carry a manufacturer’s preservative at installation, which requires topping up every two to three years to prevent grey weathering, moss, and structural softening.
We clean panels down before treating, removing algae, lichen, and weathering residue that blocks the new treatment from penetrating the grain. 1930s detached properties in Hampton typically have larger plots with boundary fencing spanning 20 to 30 metres or more.
Close-Board Fencing
Close-board fencing in Barnes and Kew gardens provides good privacy and wind resistance, but the overlapping boards trap moisture between the layers. We treat each board face and exposed edge to prevent moisture accumulating in the joints.
For close-board fences on shaded north-facing boundaries, we recommend a treatment that includes a mould-suppressing component. A single application without mould treatment on a shaded Barnes SW13 fence can need retreatment within eighteen months.
Garden Gates
Garden gates take more wear than fence panels because they flex on hinges and receive regular contact. Painted gates must be prepared correctly, including sanding the leading edges and hinge areas where paint build-up causes the gate to stick.
We match the gate treatment to the adjoining fence where clients want a consistent appearance. Painted gates in a contrasting colour are also popular on period properties in Richmond and Kew.
Fence Staining
Staining is the preferred treatment for most timber fences because it penetrates the grain rather than sitting on top — it does not peel or flake as a surface paint would. Semi-transparent stains in natural browns and greys are the most popular choices across the borough.
We also cover deck painting and shed painting as part of complete garden timber programmes.
Protective Coatings
Where fence panels are in poor condition, a surface consolidant or wood hardener is applied before the treatment coat. This binds any soft or degraded timber and gives the treatment a sound surface to grip.
Panels that have reached the end of their structural life are flagged at the assessment stage. Treating a fence as part of a combined deck and shed programme in a single visit reduces the total cost compared to booking each element separately.
For exterior painting programmes that include fences, we match the stain tone to the property’s overall colour scheme across boundaries, sheds, and outbuildings.
Fence Painting Costs in London
Prices below are estimates only — every fence is different. Call 020 4572 8995 for a precise quote.
Fence Length
Hampton and Whitton properties with large plots have more linear metres of fencing than the average Twickenham or Barnes terrace. This directly increases material and labour cost.
Fence treatment typically ranges from £300 for a small rear garden boundary to £800 or more for a large plot with extensive close-board fencing and multiple gate sections.
Fence Condition
Panels with significant moss, algae, or soft timber need more preparation time. Very degraded panels may need replacing before treatment begins.
A typical Hampton TW12 detached fence treatment ranges from £450 to £750 depending on length and condition. A Mortlake Edwardian garden boundary runs £300 to £550.
Fence Type
Close-board fencing takes longer to treat thoroughly than standard panel fencing due to the overlapping structure. Gates and decorative sections add additional time to the overall job.
A full garden boundary and gate programme in a Barnes SW13 Victorian property typically costs £500 to £900.
Treating a fence as part of a combined deck and shed programme in a single visit reduces the total cost compared to booking each element separately. Call 020 4572 8995 to arrange a visit and a fixed price.
