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

Headley is a low-density village of stone and brick cottages around the church with paddock-edge homes on the lanes out to Headley Down. Greensand subsoil is loose and abrasive, which is hard on close-board fencing posts and conventional concrete sub-bases alike. 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.

Fitting close-board panels between existing concrete posts for a mid-life panel upgrade, relevant close-board fencing detail for GU35 properties near Headley Down

What changes the specification here

Headley 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 boundaries where individual board replacement (rather than full panel swap) is a long-term maintenance advantage 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 Headley

What changes the specification around Headley?: 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 Headley Down as part of the same local run?: Yes. Headley Down sits within our normal Headley 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 Headley 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 Headley close-board fencing enquiries.
