Godalming palisade fencing: specification, programme and site access

Facilities managers in Godalming rarely start with a fence type. They start with an insurance threshold, a programme date and a site that cannot close. We carry £5m public liability and £10m employers liability, issue RAMS before mobilisation, and phase the run so the perimeter is secure at the end of every working day. Locally, the detail we check first is sites with buried services where post holes are hand-dug rather than augered.

Perimeter risks specific to this area

  • 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 palisade fence - the sites with buried services where post holes are hand-dug rather than augered 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.

Specification written before mobilisation

  • 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

Evidence before mobilisation

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 - Palisade Fencing in Godalming

What local conditions change the specification around GU7?
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 Busbridge?
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 Godalming?
£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.
Can the palisade fence be installed while our Godalming 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.

Turning a risk into a specification

If the driver is an insurance requirement or a planning condition, send the wording. The specification is written against that document rather than against a standard product sheet. This applies to palisade fencing enquiries from Godalming and the surrounding GU7 commercial estates.

Talk to us before the tender closes

We can attend outside trading hours if a daytime visit is disruptive. Mention Godalming and palisade fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
