Planning a close-board fence around Sandhurst?

A close-board fence in Sandhurst has to respond to more than a postcode. Sandhurst is anchored by the Royal Military Academy and has consistent post-war and 1980s-2000s estate housing across Owlsmoor, College Town and the town centre. Pine-belt sand drains well, but shallow developer sub-bases fail under family SUVs after 10-15 years. We inspect access from A321, A30 within 2 miles, Sandhurst station direct to Reading. and build the quotation around high-privacy plots that need a solid 6ft run without gaps between boards, with materials and stages written down before work starts.

Page purpose

For access led briefs, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Boarding both faces of a shared boundary fence so the finish looks the same either side, relevant close-board fencing detail for GU47 properties near College Town

Read the plot before choosing the finish

Sandhurst 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 GU47 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a close-board fence - the period properties around Farnham, Guildford and Alton where a traditional close-board line suits the elevation better than modern panels 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.

“Amazing job! Steve has been very easy to work with from the start. He has listened to us and also given us good and helpful advice. The result is brilliant - Steve and his team, Luke and Patrick, are so hard working and obviously keen to please us and keep their own high standards. They are already working on our next garden project! Would highly recommend!”

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Sandhurst

Can you cover College Town as part of the same local run?: Yes. College Town sits within our normal Sandhurst working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU47 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 Sandhurst?: The first local issue we check is high-privacy plots that need a solid 6ft run without gaps between boards. We also look at access, levels and whether Bracknell Forest Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
