We've had a quote for some fencing, works being
To take down old fence on right take away from site and depose of.
To supply and fit 6ft High featheredge fence 9m long, all on 100mm wooden posts
dug and concreted in, with 2.4m between posts with 3x rails and gravel board at
bottom, all as discussed.
All timber green pressure treated.
All posts are Easi15 incised and come with a 15 year manufacturers guarantee.
Quote is £648 inc. VAT. I've seen their work on other houses nearby and it looks to a good standard. Seem reasonable?
Seems fair to me (I live in London).
That sounds quite cheap to be honest.
Cheers chaps, good to know. AB Fencing in Cirencester, if anyone's in the area and needs some fencing done...
3 panels? I had 6 and a gate done couple of years ago, was (just over) £1k. So seems ok.
(actually, might have been 5 - 2 6ft. and 3 5ft, and a gate...)
(Concrete posts)
(I'll leave it at that 😀 )
9m long so 5 panels ?
100 quid a panel .... 50/50 material/labour
Their work is good you say... doesn't sound too bad ?
What's their cash price ?
Not quite, not panels, it's horizontal rails with featheredge boards attached across them.
Paid about £93/m last year for ours, but concrete posts. And London prices.
I was recently looking at £80-120 per 5ft bay if that helps
Did it myself in the end
Sounds a good deal.
Seems in the right area given how much ours costed in Newbury recently.
Recently had an 8m-ish run done, 6ft high panels but concrete posts and that was £700 (cheapest out of 4 by a long way, worst was £1k) so your quote seems good to me (although the cost of fencing surprised me at the time but just the cost of the materials worked out around £300-450 depending on quality so not too bad I guess)
I had 70 metres of fencing done last year. Concrete posts, concrete gravel boards and featheredge boards individually nailed on. Worked out at just under £100 per metre (including removal of old fence)
Get them to use concrete spurs. 100mm posts will rot through eventually and its a PITA repairing them all (I did 24 last summer and have another 24 to go).
Get the posts plastic sheathed or bitumen wrapped at the ground level bit as that
S the weakspot
Get them to use concrete spurs.
Only way I'd use timber posts myself. As footflaps says they'll rot through in time and it's harder work putting the spur in later as a fix.
Nothing to do with “my name is Inigo Montoya. . .”
Leaves disappointed.
Sounds a good price to me. We are a few miles south of Ciren (Minety) and had a load of fencing done last summer (40m ish if I remember correctly). I can’t remember if we used AB off the top of my head but we certainly had them round to quote.
