Woking acoustic fencing: specification, programme and site access

Facilities managers in Woking 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.

Page purpose

For operations briefs, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Acoustic Fencing installed on a commercial site near Woking, GU21, showing the perimeter detail described on this page

What we record on the survey

  • Woking 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 GU21, GU22 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a acoustic barrier - the rooftop and ground level plant enclosures needing ventilation designed into the barrier 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.

What the quote covers

  • 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

    Building an absorptive faced barrier so noise is not simply bounced at a neighbour

  2. 02

    Separating an early morning loading bay from the houses backing onto the yard

  3. 03

    Enclosing rooftop and ground level plant so a noise condition can be discharged

Why a facilities manager can sign this off

We're insured to £5m public liability, registered for waste carriage, and every Woking job is signed off in person rather than from photos.

Steven and team levelled our drive from landscaped crazy paving and got rid of truckload of stones and topsoil. We asked to put levelled sub base down ready for patio after finishing with building work. All work was done nicely and would have him back in the future.

FAQs - Acoustic Fencing in Woking

Can the acoustic barrier be installed while our Woking 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 GU21?
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.
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 Horsell?
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 Woking?
£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.

Booking the site survey

Most Woking perimeters need one visit to establish ground, services and gate geometry, after which the specification and programme are fixed in writing. This applies to acoustic fencing enquiries from Woking and the surrounding GU21 commercial estates.

Get the specification in writing

A survey gives you a written specification, a programme and a fixed figure, all of which can be compared against other tenders. Mention Woking and acoustic fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
