Broadstairs · Reading Street
Residential edge inland from the coast. Sheltered plots, standard closeboard or panel runs, gravel-board upgrades on tired existing fences.
Reading Street runs inland from the coast, a residential stretch between St Peter's and the coast road, mostly mid-C20th and later stock on standard suburban plots. Rear gardens are typically 8 to 15 metres wide with the same fence run to replace. Sheltered from the worst of the coastal wind, so panel fencing is a viable choice here where it is not further east.
The most common Reading Street job is the timber-post-to-concrete-post upgrade. Existing 15 to 20 year old fences with rotted timber posts get an upgrade to concrete slot posts and gravel boards while keeping the existing panels or closeboard timber where it is still sound. Retrofit lands at 30 to 40% cheaper than a full new fence.
Ground here is chalk under 300 to 500mm of topsoil, which is on the deeper side of the Thanet norm. Post-holes still auger cleanly through the topsoil and the concrete sets on chalk at depth. Standard 600mm post-hole depth is the norm on Reading Street runs.
