Types of Materials found in Borehamwood
Borehamwood sits within the London Basin on the Hertfordshire and north London border, where London Clay is common alongside patches of higher, gravel capped ground typical of this part of the county. This clay holds moisture well and can be slow to drain after sustained rain, though it generally provides a stable base for fence post footings once concrete has properly set. Given the scale of studio development in the town over the past century, some areas can have made up ground from past construction.

Is the ground in Borehamwood suitable for fence posts?
Most of Borehamwood sits on London Clay, which holds moisture and can be slow draining after rain, though this generally provides a stable base for fence posts once concrete footings have set.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Borehamwood?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Borehamwood. Hertsmere Borough Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Borehamwood's weather affect fencing choices?
Borehamwood sits in the relatively dry south east of England, though local clay soil retains moisture after rain, so pressure treated timber and solidly concreted posts are a sensible choice.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Borehamwood?
Hertsmere Borough Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
