New Fence

KittaKatta

Our fence needs repairing and we'd like to put up 5 panels incl., concrete posts on gravelboard (at the moment we only have wooden panels). A couple of years ago we had the job done on the other side of the garden for £570.00 incl. material and VAT (the guy who did it is retired), whilst now we have been quoted around £1000.00 (some would even add extra for parking and removal of material) by a few companies, who are however not very interested on the job which they don't seem to consider worth the bother. We would be responsible, together with our neighbours (based on the deed) for both fences, however on both sides we have council tenants, who claim that they have no money, and the council itself refuses to help.:mad:
We'd be willing to pay a maximum of £600.00/650.00 all incl. for the job but can't afford paying more than that on our own.
We have contacted other people in the area to find out if they know builders, but no-one seems to be willing to pass on the details.
Does anyone have any idea where I can get a builder for W London, offering perhaps a lower quote?
Thanks a lot to anyone who may be able to help (and have a nice weekend!):hello:
