Close-Board Fencing shaped around how Old Windsor homes are built

A well specified close-board fence is a recurring reason people contact us from SL4. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Old Windsor is a Thames-edge village with period cottages around the green, 1930s detached homes on Crimp Hill and newer cluster developments towards Datchet. Flood-zone designation along the Thames demands SUDS-compliant permeable specs on any front-garden conversion. For this service, that leads us to check period properties around Farnham, Guildford and Alton where a traditional close-board line suits the elevation better than modern panels before recommending a finish or construction method.

Adding matching close-board double-leaf driveway gates to a new fence line, relevant close-board fencing detail for SL4 properties near Datchet

Old Windsor constraints worth pricing properly

Old Windsor 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 SL4 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 Old Windsor

What should I send before a SL4 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 Old Windsor?: 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 Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Datchet as part of the same local run?: Yes. Datchet sits within our normal Old Windsor 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 Datchet or elsewhere in SL4, 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 Old Windsor close-board fencing enquiries.
