Replacement fencing - how much?

[toomuchlaundry]

A neighbour has been quoted nearly £2k to replace 3 panels and 4 fenceposts after the recent storms. This seems really expensive. How much would you expect to pay. It would just be normal fence panels, nothing special.

I've just been quoted £730 for 4 fence panels and 4 posts 6ft high

£1500 for 12 panels and 13 posts. That's without labour as DH is doing it himself

A lot more than a few months ago. DP went to B&Q to buy timber this morning for some other DIY project in the house.

He came back woodless and chuntering about 'not paying that fucking much'.

1.2k 5 new panels with gravel boards, 7 new concrete posts, that's material, labour and removal/disposal of old fence. Hedgehog hole to be cut on gravel board too.

My DH does fencing, max £200 per panel including all materials and labour. Possible extra £100 for waste removal, so a total of £700.
£2000 extreme rip off unless it's some sort of highly specialised gold plated fencing.

We paid 1000 recently for a brand new picket fence, 15 panels of it, posts, concrete and waste removal

I saw an ad on our local Facebook page full height featherboard fencing £100 per metre, fitted.

It really depends on the type of posts and panels. I don’t think what you’ve quoted is terrible for proper panels and concreted slotted posts. But it would be too much for poor quality panels and wooden posts.

We had the same from 2 companies. Went with another who charged £700

The panels we have ordered are double slated ( Hit and Miss type) as we live on top of a hill with a open Plain behind us that the wind whips over. Concrete posts and post crete to put them in with.

I had a quote to replace 5 panels and re cement 2 posts - £300 - the fencing cost £300 so £600 - I’d get a few more quotes.
Do you have a NEXT DOOR local group - they have local people recommended by others.
Your quote sounds a lot.

Always get 3 quotes.
