Close-Board Fencing field guide · Hampshire
A practical Tadley guide to your next close-board fence
This page is for Tadley property owners comparing a properly scoped close-board fence, not a generic regional price. The useful local starting points are Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, access via A340, A339 within 4 miles, no station - Bramley and Mortimer within 5 miles., and boundaries where individual board replacement (rather than full panel swap) is a long-term maintenance advantage. Those details change the method, programme and final quote.

The local brief behind the build
- Tadley 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 RG26 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.

FAQs - Close-Board Fencing in Tadley
- 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 Tadley?
- The first local issue we check is boundaries where individual board replacement (rather than full panel swap) is a long-term maintenance advantage. We also look at access, levels and whether Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
- Can you cover Kingsclere as part of the same local run?
- Yes. Kingsclere sits within our normal Tadley working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
- What should I send before a RG26 site visit?
- A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
Turn the idea into a measured scope
A durable close-board fence in this area begins with the unglamorous details: access, ground, drainage and permissions. We record those first, then price the visible finish around them. This recommendation is scoped to Tadley close-board fencing enquiries.
Start with a no-pressure site check
Call for an initial budget conversation or book a visit when you are ready for measured detail. Mention Tadley and close-board fencing so we route the enquiry to the right survey notes.
