Shere Concrete Post & Gravel Board Fencing: a local specification for GU5 properties

Shere is a postcard-pretty conservation village along the Tillingbourne with timber-frame cottages, a Norman church and one of Surrey's tightest historic overlays. Anything visible from the street usually needs sympathetic materials and a conversation with Guildford Borough's conservation team. That is why our concrete post & gravel board fencing quotes here start with the plot, access and levels, not a standard square metre allowance. The technical detail we test first is sloping gardens where stepped gravel boards keep the top edge square rather than raked.

Extracting old timber posts (not cut off at ground level) and setting concrete replacements without moving the boundary, relevant concrete post & gravel board fencing detail for GU5 properties near Peaslake

What changes the specification here

Shere 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 GU5 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a concrete post fence - the shared boundaries where the old posts have to be extracted without damaging the neighbour's 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.

Close-Board vs Concrete Post Fencing: Which Actually Lasts Longer?

FAQs - Concrete Post & Gravel Board Fencing in Shere

What changes the specification around Shere?: The first local issue we check is sloping gardens where stepped gravel boards keep the top edge square rather than raked. We also look at access, levels and whether Guildford Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Peaslake as part of the same local run?: Yes. Peaslake sits within our normal Shere working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU5 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 Shere project, the sensible next step is a measured visit: we can confirm access, levels and the right response to sloping gardens where stepped gravel boards keep the top edge square rather than raked before pricing the work.
