Egham palisade fencing: specification, programme and site access

This page covers palisade fencing for commercial occupiers around Egham and Virginia Water: yards, depots, substations, schools, car parks and industrial units. The survey establishes the risk, the swept path of your largest vehicle and the position of buried services, then the specification is written down before anyone quotes a rate. Sites with buried services where post holes are hand-dug rather than augered is the recurring local variable.

Page purpose

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

Palisade Fencing installed on a commercial site near Egham, TW20, showing the perimeter detail described on this page

What we record on the survey

  • Egham 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 TW20 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.

What the quote covers

  • W-section pales for maximum rigidity on high-risk yards and depots
  • D-section pales where a lighter, cleaner line suits car parks and school boundaries
  • Heights from 1.8m to 3.0m, with 2.4m the common commercial standard
  • Triple-point, round-top and notched-top pale finishes
  • Bolted or riveted rails, concrete-set posts, and matched single or double-leaf gates
  • £5m public liability and £10m employers liability, CSCS-carded fitters, RAMS before mobilisation

Three practical outcomes for this page

Selected from the service brief and local property context rather than a generic location list.

  1. 01

    Replacing bent and levered pales on an existing run rather than rebuilding the whole perimeter

  2. 02

    Stepped palisade run down a sloping industrial boundary so the top line stays square

  3. 03

    D-section round-top palisade around a school car park where a triple-point top is not appropriate

Why a facilities manager can sign this off

Last year alone we worked across Egham and the neighbouring Englefield Green / Virginia Water side most weeks, with the same two-crew rotation supervising every job.

FAQs - Palisade Fencing in Egham

Can the palisade fence be installed while our Egham 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 TW20?
Most often sites with buried services where post holes are hand-dug rather than augered. 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 Virginia Water?
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 Egham?
£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 Egham 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 Egham and the surrounding TW20 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 Egham and palisade fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
