Fencer in Westbrook.

Westbrook runs from the Nayland Rock end of Margate seafront out along the coast to the Westgate boundary. Housing stock is a mix of Edwardian villas nearer the town, semi-detached inter-war stock through the middle, and some newer development at the Westgate end. The rear gardens are typically narrow but deep, which suits a standard closeboard rear-boundary run.

Salt exposure is real but slightly reduced compared to Cliftonville - the north-easterly comes across the bay at Westbrook rather than straight in, and a lot of Westbrook boundary runs sit second-line behind seafront stock, which breaks the wind load.

Standard permitted-development rules apply: 2m rear, 1m to a highway. No conservation-area restrictions on the main Westbrook streets.

Typical jobs on this patch

• Closeboard fencing - 6ft rear boundaries, UC4 treatment
• Panel fencing - on inland-facing second-line boundaries
• Side gates - closeboard-matched or picket to street elevation
• Decking - softwood UC4 for rear garden extension
