Planning a close-board fence around Cranleigh?

A close-board fence in Cranleigh has to respond to more than a postcode. Cranleigh is a high-street village with deep behind-shop plots and substantial detached homes on Knowle Park and Horsham Rd. The Weald clay here is heavy and shrinks badly in dry summers, so we treat shrink-swell as the default risk on any foundation, not the exception. We inspect access from B2128, A281 within 3 miles, no station - Guildford within 8 miles. and build the quotation around high-privacy plots that need a solid 6ft run without gaps between boards, with materials and stages written down before work starts.

Page purpose

For hybrid worker 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 GU6 properties near Bramley

Read the plot before choosing the finish

Cranleigh 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 GU6 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 Cranleigh

Can you cover Bramley as part of the same local run?: Yes. Bramley sits within our normal Cranleigh working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU6 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 Cranleigh?: 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 Waverley Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
