Planning a close-board fence around Bookham?

A close-board fence in Bookham has to respond to more than a postcode. Bookham splits into Great Bookham around the high street and Little Bookham on the western edge, with chalk-on-clay ground on the Downs slope and a strong tree preservation culture. Plot sizes are generous and most landscape scopes have to design around protected oaks and beeches. We inspect access from A246, M25 J9 within 4 miles, Bookham station direct to Waterloo. and build the quotation around boundaries where individual board replacement (rather than full panel swap) is a long-term maintenance advantage, with materials and stages written down before work starts.

Page purpose

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

Building a stepped close-board run with trellis tops down a sloping side boundary, relevant close-board fencing detail for KT23 properties near Ranmore

Read the plot before choosing the finish

Bookham 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 KT23 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a close-board fence - the exposed rural boundaries where a rail-built fence outperforms a slotted panel in wind 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 Bookham

Can you cover Ranmore as part of the same local run?: Yes. Ranmore sits within our normal Bookham working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a KT23 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
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 Bookham?: The first local issue we check is boundaries where individual board replacement (rather than full panel swap) is a long-term maintenance advantage. We also look at access, levels and whether Mole Valley District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
