Acoustic Fencing for Old Windsor sites that have to stay open

Facilities managers in Old Windsor rarely start with a fence type. They start with an insurance threshold, a programme date and a site that cannot close. We carry £5m public liability and £10m employers liability, issue RAMS before mobilisation, and phase the run so the perimeter is secure at the end of every working day. Locally, the detail we check first is trade counters and depots with early morning loading next to residential gardens.

Reading the site before pricing the run

  • Old Windsor is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
  • We've spent enough time on SL4 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a acoustic barrier - the planning conditions attached to Rushmoor and Hart consents that name a specific noise target that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
  • Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

Scope for a Old Windsor site

  • Tongue and groove timber panels at 25kg to 35kg per square metre for genuine mass
  • Composite and reflective faced panels where maintenance access is limited
  • Sealed joints and a closed base detail because a 5 percent gap undoes the barrier
  • Heights from 1.8m to 4.0m with steel posts sized for solid panel wind loading
  • Absorptive faces on the noise source side where reflection would move the problem
  • £5m public liability and £10m employers liability, RAMS issued before mobilisation

Three practical outcomes for this page

Selected from the service brief and local property context rather than a generic location list.

  1. 01

    Screening a residential garden from A331 traffic noise with a 3m mass loaded barrier

  2. 02

    Setting deeper foundations on made ground so a solid barrier survives its first gale

  3. 03

    Replacing a lap panel fence that a noise consultant has ruled ineffective

Cover, certificates and guarantee

Last year alone we worked across Old Windsor and the neighbouring Datchet / Englefield Green side most weeks, with the same two-crew rotation supervising every job.

FAQs - Acoustic Fencing in Old Windsor

Do you provide a written specification we can tender against?
Yes. The quote states profile or section, height, post centres, foundation detail, toppings, gate hardware and programme, so a procurement team can compare it against other tenders line by line rather than on a headline figure.
What is the cost of a acoustic barrier for a site near Windsor?
Acoustic fencing typically runs £150 to £280 per metre fitted depending on height, panel mass and absorptive facing. Ground conditions and access on the individual site move that figure, which is why we survey before committing to a rate or a programme date.
What guarantee comes with a commercial install?
A written workmanship guarantee on every commercial installation, alongside the manufacturer cover on materials and any gate automation. It is issued at handover with the site walk round, not promised verbally.
What insurance do you carry for work in Old Windsor?
£5m public liability and £10m employers liability. Certificates go out with task specific RAMS and CSCS records before mobilisation, which is normally what a facilities manager or principal contractor asks for before booking an induction.
Can the acoustic barrier be installed while our Old Windsor site stays open?
Yes. We phase the run so no section is left open at the end of a day, keep vehicle and pedestrian routes working, and take out of hours slots where daytime work would interrupt trading. That approach is priced into the quote rather than added later.
What local conditions change the specification around SL4?
Most often trade counters and depots with early morning loading next to residential gardens. We also record ground type, buried services, gate swept paths and whether the boundary is overlooked by existing camera coverage before fixing the specification.

What to send before we attend

Tell us the operating hours and the vehicles that use the entrance, and the programme is built around them from the start. This applies to acoustic fencing enquiries from Old Windsor and the surrounding SL4 commercial estates.

Book a survey around your operating hours

Bring the constraints, including live services, term dates and delivery windows, and they get designed into the programme. Mention Old Windsor and acoustic fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
