Replacing a wind-damaged timber-post run with concrete posts and gravel boards for a 25-year lifespan, relevant concrete post & gravel board fencing detail for GU7 properties near Witley

The local brief behind the build

Godalming 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 GU7, GU8 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a concrete post fence - the exposed corner plots in Farnborough, Aldershot and Fleet where timber posts snap in the first winter storm 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.

Local reassurance without vague claims

Customers in GU7 can ask for two or three recent addresses to drive past before agreeing the quote - we don't quote work we can't show.

“Steve did a great job at a reasonable price on a short close board fence and did another couple of small bits of work for us without any hassle too. He told me exactly what we could and couldn't do with the fence in a tricky position when quoting and had a good team to finish the job quickly once agreed.”

FAQs - Concrete Post & Gravel Board Fencing in Godalming

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 Godalming?: The first local issue we check is clay pockets where a wider concrete collar around each post stops movement over the first summer. We also look at access, levels and whether Waverley Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Witley as part of the same local run?: Yes. Witley sits within our normal Godalming working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU7 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
