A County Town Without Its County Hall
Hertford has been the county town for centuries, and for most of the last hundred years the business of running Hertfordshire happened on Pegs Lane. That is changing. About Hertford reported in August 2025 that Hertfordshire County Council had reconfirmed its decision to market the County Hall site for alternative uses, after moving most of its services to its Stevenage campus.
The move has a practical side effect. Paperwork, equipment and records that once crossed a corridor now travel between Hertford and Stevenage by road, along with the firms that work with the council: architects, surveyors, solicitors, contractors. When a signed document or a set of drawings is needed across the county that afternoon, a courier in Hertford is often the simplest answer.
Small Town, Old Streets
Hertford’s centre is compact and historic, with the castle grounds, Fore Street, Maidenhead Street and a web of narrow lanes where the Lea, Beane, Rib and Mimram meet. The one-way system and limited loading make it slow for vans at busy times. Our drivers know where to stop near the shops and offices, and plan collections from the business parks on the edge of town to avoid the centre altogether.

Yes. The drive is about 20 minutes. The papers are carried by hand and signed for by the named recipient.
Can a van get into Hertford town centre to collect?
Yes, though loading is limited. Tell us the street and any access details, and we will plan where the driver stops.
Do you cover Ware, Bengeo and Hertford Heath?
Yes, along with Tewin, Stapleford, Watton-at-Stone and the villages in between.
Can you take a contract from Hertford to a City law firm?
Yes. It goes by van straight to the firm’s reception, usually within about an hour of collection.
How are Hertford evening and weekend jobs priced?
Out-of-hours bookings attract a slightly higher rate than weekday daytime ones. That is folded into the fixed price we quote, so nothing changes afterwards.
