Typical St Albans properties we work on
Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas in Marshalswick, and Tudor / Georgian properties near the cathedral. The gardens behind them are mature gardens, often with established hedging that needs lifting before fencing goes in.
That shapes the fencing brief — every quote we write here factors in extensive conservation areas mean fence heights and materials need to match the streetscape.
