Page purpose

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

What we record on the survey

Basingstoke 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 RG21-RG24 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a bow top railing - the park and open space boundaries where the railing has to read as landscape rather than security 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.

Why a facilities manager can sign this off

Workmanship on every Basingstoke project is guaranteed and we return for snag visits within two weeks of completion if anything needs adjusting.

“Steve from Knightscapes was very prompt at getting in touch and popping round to quote. After discussion I added a new raised bed along with completely replacing my back fence. Steve and Callum were friendly and professional, working quickly and efficiently and tidied up after themselves. I definitely will have them back to do more work and have recommended them to a friend.”

FAQs - Bow Top & Vertical Bar Fencing in Basingstoke

Can the bow top railing be installed while our Basingstoke 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 RG21-RG24?: Most often sloping playing field edges where railings must follow the ground with no gap at the base. 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 bow top railing for a site near Chineham?: Bow top and vertical bar fencing typically runs £110 to £180 per metre fitted depending on height and finish, with self closing pedestrian gates from £950. 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 Basingstoke?: £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.
