About Fencing in Broadstairs
Broadstairs in Kent became a favourite retreat of Charles Dickens, who first visited in 1837 at the age of 25 and returned often over the following two decades, leasing Fort House overlooking the harbour from the 1840s until 1852. It was there, in what he called his airy nest above the bay, that Dickens wrote much of David Copperfield, and the house was later renamed Bleak House after his 1853 novel, a name that stuck even though the book itself was written elsewhere. The town's sheltered Viking Bay and small working harbour still give Broadstairs a quieter character than its larger Thanet neighbours.

Does Broadstairs's coastal weather affect fencing choices?
Salt laden coastal air can accelerate corrosion of metal fittings, so galvanised or stainless steel fixings and well treated timber are recommended near the seafront.

Kent County Council operates household waste recycling centres in the area that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
