Alton palisade fencing: specification, programme and site access
Alton sites that trade through an installation need the programme designed first and the fence second. We phase runs in sections, use temporary heras where a length is open, take evening and weekend slots where daytime work would stop your operation, and keep vehicle access working throughout. The technical variable here is usually sloping perimeters where palisade steps cleanly bay by bay instead of raking.

Page purpose
For compliance briefs, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

What we record on the survey
- Alton 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 GU34 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a palisade fence - the industrial units backing onto footpaths where a road-facing palisade run deters access before CCTV ever gets involved 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.

Three practical outcomes for this page
Selected from the service brief and local property context rather than a generic location list.
- 01
D-section round-top palisade around a school car park where a triple-point top is not appropriate
- 02
2.4m palisade run with double-leaf vehicle gates at a depot entrance
- 03
W-section triple-point palisade to a builders merchants yard fronting a public footpath
Why a facilities manager can sign this off
Customers in GU34 can ask for two or three recent addresses to drive past before agreeing the quote - we don't quote work we can't show.

FAQs - Palisade Fencing in Alton
- Can the palisade fence be installed while our Alton site stays open?
- Yes. We phase the run so no section is left open at the end of a day, keep vehicle and pedestrian routes working, and take out of hours slots where daytime work would interrupt trading. That approach is priced into the quote rather than added later.
- What local conditions change the specification around GU34?
- Most often sloping perimeters where palisade steps cleanly bay by bay instead of raking. We also record ground type, buried services, gate swept paths and whether the boundary is overlooked by existing camera coverage before fixing the specification.
- Do you provide a written specification we can tender against?
- Yes. The quote states profile or section, height, post centres, foundation detail, toppings, gate hardware and programme, so a procurement team can compare it against other tenders line by line rather than on a headline figure.
- What is the cost of a palisade fence for a site near Four Marks?
- Steel palisade fencing typically runs £110-£190 per metre fitted depending on height, pale profile and ground conditions, with gates from £1,800. Ground conditions and access on the individual site move that figure, which is why we survey before committing to a rate or a programme date.
- What guarantee comes with a commercial install?
- A written workmanship guarantee on every commercial installation, alongside the manufacturer cover on materials and any gate automation. It is issued at handover with the site walk round, not promised verbally.
- What insurance do you carry for work in Alton?
- £5m public liability and £10m employers liability. Certificates go out with task specific RAMS and CSCS records before mobilisation, which is normally what a facilities manager or principal contractor asks for before booking an induction.
Booking the site survey
Most Alton perimeters need one visit to establish ground, services and gate geometry, after which the specification and programme are fixed in writing. This applies to palisade fencing enquiries from Alton and the surrounding GU34 commercial estates.
Get the specification in writing
A survey gives you a written specification, a programme and a fixed figure, all of which can be compared against other tenders. Mention Alton and palisade fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
