t Albans has a wide mix — listed Georgian frontages in the city centre, leafy 1930s semis through Marshalswick and Harpenden, and post-war estates round London Colney and Park Street. Conservation rules around the cathedral and central streets mean street-visible fence height and post type can be restricted; we check council guidance before quoting on any street-front boundary. Out in the satellite villages it's mostly conventional back-garden runs over clay-loam soil.
We come up the M25 / A1(M) — visit fee is £150 (Outer drive-time tier). Most AL postcodes have generous access; central AL3 streets behind the abbey can be tight and we'll usually shuttle materials in. Non-refundable and not deducted from the eventual job.

What we get asked for here

- 01
Closeboard with concrete posts
Marshalswick and Sandridge default — heavy Herts clay, long boundary runs, exposed elevations.

Hit-and-miss panels
Common along shared boundaries in Harpenden — premium look, identical both sides, no neighbour debate about the 'good side'.
- 03
Low timber + trellis topper
Conservation street-fronts in AL3 where panel height is capped — we use a 1.2m solid base with 600mm trellis for privacy without overheight.

Why goodfence
Why St Albans homeowners pick us over a random trade.
Founder-led, end to end
GoodFence is a small London company founder-led. We quote every St Albans job ourselves, run the install, and stand behind the work. 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 Bromley clay
Concrete posts on exposed runs, pressure-treated rails, proper feather-edge. We spec the materials so the bits that matter don't get shortcut.
"Old fence was leaning halfway into the neighbour's garden. The new one's straight as a die and the concrete posts won't move for twenty years."
