Types of Materials found in Mitcham
Mitcham sits within the London Basin, where London Clay is common across much of this part of south London, though the area also benefits from proximity to the chalk influenced ground found further south towards Sutton and Carshalton. Ground closer to Mitcham Common and the River Wandle, which runs nearby, can be softer, with alluvial deposits typical of the river valley, while the more built up residential streets generally sit on the typical clay dominant conditions found across much of outer London.

Is the ground in Mitcham suitable for fence posts?
Most of Mitcham sits on London Clay, which holds moisture and can be slow draining after rain, though ground near the River Wandle and Mitcham Common can be softer with alluvial deposits.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Mitcham?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Mitcham. Merton Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near Mitcham Common.
Does Mitcham's weather affect fencing choices?
Mitcham sits in the relatively dry south east of England, though clay soil across much of the area retains moisture well, so pressure treated timber and solidly concreted posts are a sensible choice.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Mitcham?
Merton 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.
