Site hoarding keeps the public away from active construction areas, protects materials and plant, and is a legal requirement on most street-facing sites. It's needed on everything from a Cambridge city-centre shopfront refurbishment to a large housing development on the edge of town, and the installation needs to be solid and compliant from day one.

We erect close-boarded timber hoarding on driven or concreted posts, and steel hoarding systems where a longer installation period or higher-security requirement applies. Hoarding can be installed with pedestrian access gates, vehicle gates, or solid runs depending on the site layout and the planning or highway conditions. Where the hoarding borders a public footway in Cambridge, we ensure it meets the relevant highway and CDM requirements - including any lighting, signage or clearance obligations the local authority may have set.

Getting site hoarding wrong costs money quickly - panels that shift, gates that don't close properly, or posts that haven't been driven to the right depth will fail inspection and create liability. We have experience working on both small residential jobs and larger commercial sites, and we understand what site managers and principal contractors need in terms of documentation and handover.

We can usually mobilise within a few days for new enquiries and can work outside standard hours to avoid disrupting site programmes. We also carry out hoarding maintenance and repairs mid-contract if panels are damaged or the layout needs to change. We work directly with homeowners, main contractors and project managers.

Site hoarding installation in Cambridge typically costs between £35 and £75 per linear metre, depending on hoarding height, ground conditions and any gate or access panel requirements.

Questions

Site Hoarding Installation - common questions

How much does a new fence cost in Cambridge?
Closeboard fencing in Cambridge typically costs between £80 and £130 per metre supplied and installed, depending on the height you need and the ground conditions on your plot. Lap panel fencing is usually at the lower end of that range. We provide a fixed written quote after measuring up, so there are no surprises on the final bill.
What am I likely to pay to repair a fence?
Replacing a single rotten or broken fence post in Cambridge typically costs between £90 and £160, depending on the post size and how accessible it is. Replacing a snapped arris rail is generally less. We assess the full fence run before quoting, so you get an accurate price rather than a low estimate that grows once the work starts.
What should I budget for a new gate?
A single pedestrian gate installed with new posts and ironmongery in Cambridge typically costs between £200 and £450. A pair of driveway gates with heavier posts and drop bolts will usually sit higher - from around £500 upwards depending on the gate width and material. We give a fixed quote after measuring the opening, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
What does decking cost per square metre?
Timber decking in Cambridge typically costs between £120 and £200 per square metre supplied and installed. Composite decking sits at the higher end of that range or above, depending on the board brand and specification. The subframe, any steps, and ground preparation all affect the final price - we provide a detailed written quote once we've measured up and understood what you want.
Is a pergola expensive to build?
A freestanding timber pergola in Cambridge typically costs between £1,800 and £4,500 fitted, depending on size, timber grade and any additional features such as integrated lighting or privacy screens. We provide a fixed written quote after visiting your garden, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
How much is custom trellis per panel?
Custom trellis in Cambridge is typically priced between £150 and £500 per panel installed, depending on size, timber grade and how it's fixed. A simple run of trellis topping an existing fence is at the lower end; freestanding panels on new posts with decorative detailing cost more. We quote per job after measuring up.
What does metal fencing cost per metre?
Metal fencing in Cambridge typically costs between £80 and £180 per linear metre fitted, depending on the system type, post spacing and any groundwork required. Bow-top railings with a powder-coat finish sit at the higher end of that range, while standard galvanised palisade is more economical. We quote per linear metre after visiting the site.
How is site hoarding priced?
Site hoarding in Cambridge typically costs between £35 and £75 per linear metre fitted, depending on height, ground type and whether vehicle or pedestrian gates are included. Steel hoarding systems cost more than timber but are worth considering for longer-duration sites. We provide written quotes quickly - usually within 24 hours of a site visit or plan review.
