Do you cover Normandy?

Yes - Normandy is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU3 every week.

How quickly can you quote a close-board fence in Normandy?

Most Normandy enquiries get a free site visit within five working days and a written quote within a week of that visit.

How long does a close-board fence take?

Allow 1-3 working days on a typical Normandy property. Sloping plots, restricted access or larger formats add to that and we'll flag it on the quote.

What does a close-board fence cost in Normandy?

Close-board fencing runs £95-£145 per metre fitted depending on height, post type and gate count.

Do I need permission from Guildford Borough Council?

For most close-board fence work, no - but anything affecting the public highway (dropped kerbs) or a conservation frontage goes through Guildford Borough Council. We'll tell you on the visit which forms apply.

Normandy Close-Board Fencing: a local specification for GU3 properties

Normandy is a linear village along the A323 with period cottages near the church, 1960s-90s detached estates on the back lanes and substantial homes on Westwood Lane. The Hog's Back chalk ridge gives erratic drainage and falls drive most landscape scopes here. 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 GU3 properties near Wood Street Village

What changes the specification here

Normandy 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 GU3 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.

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Normandy

What changes the specification around Normandy?: 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 Guildford Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Wood Street Village as part of the same local run?: Yes. Wood Street Village sits within our normal Normandy working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU3 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 Normandy 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 Normandy close-board fencing enquiries.
