Bordon Close-Board Fencing: a local specification for GU35 properties

Bordon is in the middle of a major military-to-civilian regeneration with thousands of new homes by Taylor Wimpey, Bovis and Bellway alongside the older 1960s-80s estates from the garrison days. Newer estates have shallow developer drives that often need full rebuild rather than overlay. That is why our close-board fencing quotes here start with the plot, access and levels, not a standard square metre allowance. The technical detail we test first is period properties around Farnham, Guildford and Alton where a traditional close-board line suits the elevation better than modern panels.

Replacing a broken feather-edge board on a run rather than removing the whole panel, relevant close-board fencing detail for GU35 properties near Whitehill

What changes the specification here

  • Bordon 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 GU35 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a close-board fence - the high-privacy plots that need a solid 6ft run without gaps between boards 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 Bordon

What changes the specification around Bordon?
The first local issue we check is period properties around Farnham, Guildford and Alton where a traditional close-board line suits the elevation better than modern panels. We also look at access, levels and whether East Hampshire District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Whitehill as part of the same local run?
Yes. Whitehill sits within our normal Bordon working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU35 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.

Is this the right route for your property?

For a Bordon project, the sensible next step is a measured visit: we can confirm access, levels and the right response to period properties around Farnham, Guildford and Alton where a traditional close-board line suits the elevation better than modern panels before pricing the work. This recommendation is scoped to Bordon close-board fencing enquiries.

Measure first, quote once
