Fencing in Tunbridge Wells
unbridge Wells is the hilliest place we regularly fence. Very few boundaries here are level — gardens fall away from the house, run along a bank, or sit above a sandstone retaining wall, and how you deal with that fall is most of the job. Add a large conservation area covering much of the town centre and Mount Ephraim, and the front boundaries in particular need thinking about before anything is ordered.
What Tunbridge Wells throws at a fence
The ground is Tunbridge Wells sandstone under fairly thin soil, so post holes here occasionally hit rock at 400mm and need breaking out rather than digging. We allow for it on sloping and elevated plots instead of pretending every hole is the same. On stepped runs we set the steps to a consistent rhythm so the fence reads as designed rather than improvised. Tunbridge Wells is our Outer tier: free estimate, and £120 for an optional fixed-price survey, credited in full against the job.
Most Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells.
- 01
Stepped closeboard
The default for the town's sloping gardens — level bays, even steps, no triangular gaps at the bottom.
- 02
Slatted above retaining walls
Very common on the elevated Mount Ephraim and St John's plots where the boundary starts a metre up.
- 03
Hit-and-miss on high ground
Exposed ridge boundaries take real wind. Letting it through is cheaper than rebuilding after a storm.

Taking the old fence away is an optional extra you choose on the estimate form — it's priced separately and isn't in the figures above. Minimum job £1,200.

Why Tunbridge Wells homeowners pick us over a random trade.
One company, end to end
GoodFence is a small London fencing company. We survey every Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells 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.
On a slope we set the step heights before we start, so every bay drops by the same amount. A fence that steps unevenly down a Tunbridge Wells garden looks wrong forever.
