Portishead
Coastal exposure that punishes anything built to a minimum spec.
Portishead gets weather straight off the Severn Estuary, and it shows in the timber. Salt laden wind dries out and lifts finishes faster than inland, and fencing on an exposed boundary takes a beating that the same fence in central Bristol never would.
LW Services covers Portishead and the surrounding BS20 streets. Also working nearby in Pill, Easton in Gordano, Clapton in Gordano and Portbury. See the full list of services.
What comes up in Portishead
- Fencing specified for exposure, which often means concrete posts, gravel boards and accepting that the cheapest panel is a false economy here.
- Newer marina side properties with small, highly exposed gardens where wind funnels between buildings.
- External timber and cladding needing more frequent treatment than inland properties, which is worth planning for rather than being surprised by.
Working in
Portishead
What fencing lasts best in Portishead?
Concrete posts with a gravel board, and close board rather than lightweight lap panels on the most exposed runs. It costs more initially and generally outlasts two cheaper fences.
Do you cover the marina developments?
Yes, along with the older parts of town and the surrounding BS20 villages.
