Planning a close-board fence around Farnham?

A close-board fence in Farnham has to respond to more than a postcode. Farnham has a significant conservation area covering Castle Street, Downing Street and much of the Georgian core, so anything visible from the street usually needs sympathetic materials. Outside the centre, the surrounding villages have larger plots and original brick boundary walls that are worth restoring rather than replacing. We inspect access from A31 Hog's Back, A325, Farnham station to Waterloo, easy reach of the M3 at J4. 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.

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Farnham

Can you cover Badshot Lea as part of the same local run?: Yes. Badshot Lea sits within our normal Farnham working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU9 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 Farnham?: 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 Waverley Borough Council (Farnham Town Council) needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
