Estuary winds and Edwardian terraces
Southend's seafront homes take the brunt of the wind, and even streets a little way back can be exposed. Heavier panels, concrete posts and galvanised fittings are all sensible investments here.
Westcliff and Leigh have many Edwardian terraces with long, narrow gardens. Replacing shared fences between these gardens is a common job, often carried out in agreement with neighbours.
Southend runs along the Thames estuary from Leigh-on-Sea to Shoeburyness, with Edwardian terraces in Westcliff, larger homes in Thorpe Bay and plenty of bungalows and semis in between.
If your fence has been battered by estuary winds, or you are simply ready for a change, we can help you get quotes from contractors who work locally.

How do I choose a fence that survives Southend's winds?
