Find a local fencer
Fencing is one of the easiest jobs to quote accurately — count the panels and posts — and one of the easiest to get wrong if posts aren't set deep enough or concreted properly.
What fencing contractors do
Fencing contractors install and repair panel, closeboard, post and rail and composite fencing, along with gates, posts, gravel boards and trellis.
Typical fencer jobs
- Replacing storm-damaged panels and posts
- Full boundary fence replacement
- Closeboard and featheredge fencing
- Composite fencing and concrete posts
- Garden and driveway gates
- Gravel boards and trellis toppers
When you might need one
- Panels blown down or posts rotted at the base
- You need privacy or to keep pets and children safe
- Boundary needs replacing after a neighbour dispute is resolved
What to include when you post the job
The more of this you give up front, the more accurate the quotes you get back.
- Give the total run length in metres and number of panels
- Say the fence height you want
- Mention slope, existing concrete posts and access
- Confirm whose boundary it is if known
Questions to ask a fencer
- How deep are the posts set and are they concreted?
- Concrete or timber posts, and why?

Supplied and fitted, a standard 6ft panel with post and gravel board usually costs £90–£150 in the UK, with composite and closeboard higher.
How high can a garden fence be?
Generally up to 2m without planning permission, or 1m if it faces a highway. Check for covenants and conservation area rules.
