Built for Liphook plots · Hampshire

Close-Board Fencing shaped around how Liphook homes are built

A well specified close-board fence is a recurring reason people contact us from GU30. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Liphook is a long-village commuter settlement straddling the A3 with a mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes around the station and 1990s-2000s estates on the southern side. Greensand and clay pockets mean we routinely re-spec foundations for garden rooms after a trial dig. For this service, that leads us to check exposed rural boundaries where a rail-built fence outperforms a slotted panel in wind before recommending a finish or construction method.

Replacing a broken feather-edge board on a run rather than removing the whole panel, relevant close-board fencing detail for GU30 properties near Grayshott

Liphook constraints worth pricing properly

  • Liphook 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 GU30 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.

Three practical outcomes for this page

Selected from the service brief and local property context rather than a generic location list.

  1. 01

    Boarding both faces of a shared boundary fence so the finish looks the same either side

  2. 02

    Building a stepped close-board run with trellis tops down a sloping side boundary

  3. 03

    Replacing a broken feather-edge board on a run rather than removing the whole panel

Why the specification is accountable

Workmanship on every Liphook project is guaranteed and we return for snag visits within two weeks of completion if anything needs adjusting.

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Liphook

What should I send before a GU30 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 Liphook?
The first local issue we check is exposed rural boundaries where a rail-built fence outperforms a slotted panel in wind. We also look at access, levels and whether East Hampshire District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Grayshott as part of the same local run?
Yes. Grayshott sits within our normal Liphook working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.

A useful next step

If your property sits towards Grayshott or elsewhere in GU30, send a photo and rough dimensions first. We can usually identify the decisions that need an on-site check before arranging the visit. This recommendation is scoped to Liphook close-board fencing enquiries.
