Fencing in Barnet
arnet straddles the north edge of London — affluent pockets through Hadley Wood and Monken Hadley with mature plots, inter-war semi-detached avenues through New Barnet and East Barnet, and newer detached estates pushing out into Cockfosters and Potters Bar. Soil through EN4/EN5 is the London-clay-and-gravel mix typical for north London; we default to concrete posts on tall runs and timber-with-wraps on lower fences and shorter boundaries.
What Barnet throws at a fence
Your estimate is free. If you later want us out to confirm a fixed price, the survey fee is £60 for EN4 and EN5 (Mid drive-time, about 60-65 minutes), and £120 for EN6 around Potters Bar (Extended tier). Most Barnet plots have rear or side access; the older High Barnet streets sometimes need everything routed through the house. Comes off your job price if you go ahead.
Most Barnet jobs are one of two things: a new fence installation where there's nothing there yet, or a full fence replacement of a boundary that's come to the end of its life.
EN4 and EN5 are Mid tier (£60); EN6 (Potters Bar) is Extended tier (£120).

Why Barnet homeowners pick us over a random trade.
One company, end to end
GoodFence is a small London fencing company. We survey every Barnet job, price it, fit it with our own team and stand behind it ourselves. One contract, one number, one company on the hook — not a directory, not a stranger off a phonebook.
Fixed price, no day-of surprises
The price you sign off doesn't move unless the ground itself tells us otherwise — and if it does, we put any change in writing before we touch a tool. One quote, one number to call.
Specced for Barnet ground
Clay across the south and east, made-up ground and buried rubble near anything rebuilt after the war, and tree roots wherever there is a street plane or a mature garden boundary. Concrete posts earn their keep on exposed runs. Concrete posts on exposed runs, pressure-treated rails, proper feather-edge — we spec the bits that decide how long it lasts.
The price we agree for an Barnet job is the price you pay. Anything we find on the survey gets priced before a spade goes in, never after.
