Planning a close-board fence around Farnborough?

A close-board fence in Farnborough has to respond to more than a postcode. Farnborough is mostly modern Bovis / Bryant-style estates around Cove, Hawley and West Heath, with thinner topsoil and standard 100mm screeded drives that have aged out. We re-base most replacements at 150-200mm rather than overlay them. We inspect access from A331, A325, Farnborough Main station (Waterloo line) and Farnborough North. 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 property upgrade briefs, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Boarding both faces of a shared boundary fence so the finish looks the same either side, relevant close-board fencing detail for GU14 properties near Hawley

Read the plot before choosing the finish

  • Farnborough 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 GU14 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.

A closer proof match

Last year alone we worked across Farnborough and the neighbouring Cove / Hawley side most weeks, with the same two-crew rotation supervising every job.

“Steve and his team have been brilliant - from first quote, to waiting patiently through lockdown, and then waiting on me to get everything sorted for him to start. What seemed like an easy job soon turned into a full on hardcore days graft, yet Steve just got on with the job and got it all completed. I am over the moon with the end result and would highly recommend him.”

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Farnborough

Can you cover Hawley as part of the same local run?
Yes. Hawley sits within our normal Farnborough working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU14 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 Farnborough?
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 Rushmoor Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
