About Fencing in St Albans

St Albans grew from Verulamium, the Roman city that became the second largest in Roman Britain after London, with substantial remains still visible today in Verulamium Park alongside a preserved Roman bathhouse. The medieval city that followed grew up around its abbey, now St Albans Cathedral, and the historic centre retains a good number of older buildings around the market place.

Average Installation cost in St Albans

Fencing costs in St Albans sit above the wider Hertfordshire average, reflecting the city's affluent commuter belt property market. Closeboard fencing typically runs £100 to £175 per metre fitted, lap panels £80 to £135 per metre, and post and rail £45 to £80 per metre. A standard 20 to 25 metre garden boundary usually costs between £2,600 and £5,000.

Types of Materials found in St Albans

St Albans sits within the Vale of St Albans, part of the Northern Thames Basin, where deposits of sand and gravel laid down during the Anglian glaciation around 450,000 years ago overlie the chalk bedrock typical of Hertfordshire. This generally gives reasonably firm, workable ground for fence post footings across much of the city, though the underlying chalk itself, quarried in places since medieval times, has occasionally left unrecorded underground galleries elsewhere in the county that can affect ground stability, worth being aware of if your property is in an area with known historic quarrying.
