Fencing in Sidcup
idcup is a 1930s suburb built at scale, and the fencing job reflects it: long narrow rear gardens, 15 to 22 metres of boundary, usually with a side alley or a shared passage as the only way in. It is some of the most predictable work we do, which is exactly why it should be priced honestly rather than padded — the variables are access and what's underneath, not the panel you pick.
What Sidcup throws at a fence
The ground is London clay, and clay is why fences here fail early. It swells wet and shrinks dry, working a shallow post loose over a few seasons until the whole run leans. The fix is not a thicker panel, it's a deeper hole and a proper concrete collar, plus gravel boards so no timber sits in a wet trough at the base. Sidcup is our Mid drive-time tier — the estimate from photos is free with no obligation and the optional survey is £60, credited in full.
Most Sidcup 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.

Most-requested fences in Sidcup.
- 01
Closeboard with concrete posts
The right long-term answer on clay, and you can replace a damaged board without touching the rest of the run.
- 02
Overlap panels with gravel boards
The value option for a straight, sheltered boundary — as long as the base is kept out of the wet.
- 03
Fence and side-return gate
Nearly every 1930s semi here has a passage gate, and it's usually the oldest thing in the garden.

Why Sidcup homeowners pick us over a random trade.
One company, end to end
GoodFence is a small London fencing company. We survey every Sidcup 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 Sidcup 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.
On clay we dig to full depth and set every post in concrete, then sit the timber on gravel boards. Skipping either is why so many Sidcup fences need doing again after eight years.
