Building a full-height 6ft close-board run for privacy from a two-storey neighbour extension, relevant close-board fencing detail for GU5 properties near Chilworth

The local brief behind the build

Albury 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 GU5 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a close-board fence - the period properties around Farnham, Guildford and Alton where a traditional close-board line suits the elevation better than modern panels 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.

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Albury

How is the quote made specific to this property?: It records excavation or foundation assumptions, materials, disposal, access, programme and exclusions. The allowance is based on the measured site rather than copied from another town.
What changes the specification around Albury?: The first local issue we check is high-privacy plots that need a solid 6ft run without gaps between boards. We also look at access, levels and whether Guildford Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Chilworth as part of the same local run?: Yes. Chilworth sits within our normal Albury working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU5 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.

Turn the idea into a measured scope

A durable close-board fence in this area begins with the unglamorous details: access, ground, drainage and permissions. We record those first, then price the visible finish around them. This recommendation is scoped to Albury close-board fencing enquiries.
