Fencing in Dartford
artford is the Kent gateway — a wide mix of 1930s semi-detached avenues through DA1, newer-build estates through Wilmington and Stone, and larger plots stretching out toward Bean and the Greenhithe edge. The chalky soil south of the A2 drains beautifully but doesn't hold timber posts well on tall runs — concrete posts are our default on anything 6ft and over here, no exceptions.
What Dartford 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 DA1 (Mid drive-time, about 55-60 minutes via the A2) and £120 for DA2 around Wilmington and Bean (Extended tier). Most Dartford plots have decent rear or side access. Comes off your job price if you go ahead.
Most Dartford 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.
DA1 is Mid tier (£60); DA2 is Extended tier (£120).

Weather depending
Most-requested fences in Dartford.
- 01
Closeboard with concrete posts
Mandatory at 6ft and over on the Kent chalk — timber posts will work loose inside two seasons.
- 02
Hit-and-miss perimeter
Common on the larger Bean and Greenhithe-edge plots — same look both sides keeps the neighbour conversation short.
- 03
1m picket fronts
Dartford and Wilmington front gardens — restricted-height rule applies (1m if fronting a road), and we'll spec accordingly.

Why Dartford homeowners pick us over a random trade.
One company, end to end
GoodFence is a small London fencing company. We survey every Dartford 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 Dartford ground
Chalk in the north, Wealden clay in the south, and ragstone close to the surface around Sevenoaks. Chalk and stone both slow the digging; the Weald holds water, which is what rots a timber post at ground level. Concrete posts on exposed runs, pressure-treated rails, proper feather-edge — we spec the bits that decide how long it lasts.
Every Dartford estimate is written by a person who has looked at your photos. No auto-generated number, no bait price that moves later.
