existing customer in Petts wood  installing new fencing on driveway

Customer asked us to bring the side garden forward to create more space for a Paving area

Supplied & installed all fencing materials including closeboards, concrete gravel boards, concrete posts, pre ordered made to size gate

As the fence line was on an angle we installed two post side-by-side and twisted one of them & filled in the gap where they joined with cement so it was seamless we also installed concrete post for the gate so it will last and stay stronger for a long time the whole job tied in with the original fencing running along the next door neighbours


another happy customer 👍👍👍👍👍

Removal of an old sorting office for the postal service in Petts wood .. unfortunately this had to be demolished as it had begun to rot & no longer any good for storing … removed & disposed of afterwards.

Petts Wood originally housed a local sorting office and delivery hub. Serving the expanding interwar and post-war suburban developments, local postal operations were historically overseen by the Orpington head post office before being handled from this specific hub for the community.

before the Petts Wood sorting office was established, mail for the area was routed through Orpington. As the area grew rapidly after the opening of the Petts Wood railway station in 1928, the resident's association pushed for their own distinct postal identity.The site in Petts Wood acted as the base for local postmen who sorted and delivered mail on foot and bicycle to the surrounding roads. Over the years, as postal operations were centralized and automated, the sorting room ceased operations, and the building was repurposed.
